[Machinery] Machinery 1.9.0 is out!

[Thomas Goettlicher]

Hey Machinists,

We just released Machinery 1.9.0, which contains a bunch of usability 
improvements. The 'inspect' command shows progress output now. 
Furthermore, the output of the 'compare' command and the representation 
of filters have improved as well.

Additionally to the usability improvements, this release also offers new 
functionality: When inspecting files on systems, Machinery also handles 
changed link targets.

If your primary operating system isn't SUSE (yet), you might be happy to 
hear that Machinery runs on non-SUSE operating systems now.

Try it and tell us if these changes make your life easier. We look 
forward to getting your feedback.
