[blfs-support] LFS-8.3-rc1 is released

[Bruce Dubbs]

The Linux From Scratch community announces the release of LFS Version
8.3-rc1. It is a preliminary release of LFS-8.3.

Major changes include toolchain updates to glibc-2.28, binutils-2.31.1,
and gcc-8.2.0. In total, 31 packages were updated since the last
release. Changes to the text have also been made throughout the book.
The Linux kernel has also been updated to version 4.18.

We encourage all users to read through this release of the book and test
the instructions so that we can make the final release as good as possible.

You can read the book online [0], or download [1] to read locally.

In coordination with this release, a new version of LFS using the
systemd package is also being released. This package implements the
newer systemd style of system initialization and control and is
consistent with LFS in most packages.

You can read the systemd version of the book online [2], or download [3]
to read locally.
