This release introduces the new generic Mobly snippet base client and the new
Android snippet client built on top. The new snippet base enables us to better
scale Mobly snippets across various platforms.

The old Android snippet client is now considered deprecated, and will be
removed in the following release. Please update your code accordingly:

• snippet_client -> snippet_client_v2
• snippet_event -> mobly.snippet.callback_event
• callback_handler -> callback_handler_v2

The generate_setup_tests stage is renamed to pre_run to better reflect its
true role: steps that happen before all the test case methods are finalized.
This is a pure rename with no functional changes. Please migrate your code as
the generate_setup_tests stage will stop working completely in the next
release.

New

• Added the new Mobly snippet base client.
• Added the new Android snippet client v2 based on the new base client.
• Support changing Mobly's logger level to DEBUG via cli arg.
• Termination signal type is now included in result records.

Breaking Changes

• The old Android snippet client is deprecated.
• The generate_setup_tests stage is now pre_run.

Fixes

• Various issues in the Android snippet client.

New

• Native support for repeat and retry of test cases.
• Additional assertion APIs.
• android_device now picks up fastboot devices if given *.

Fixes

• Removed the usage of psutil in favor of native Py3 features.

This release focuses on code quality improvement, refactoring, and legacy
code removal.

Py2-specific workarounds and deprecated APIs are removed in this release.
We are also refactoring to use 2-space indentation and unit test system.

New

• Framework support for test case level repeat and retry.

Breaking Changes

• Removal of Py2 support

your parsing logic to accommodate the changes.

• Names of AndroidDevice's output files have been standardized #633
• Changed multiple references of test_bed to testbed in code #641

Fixes
