v1.30

virtme-ng v1.30 is out!

The most noticeable changes in this new version are the initial support for NVIDIA GPUs passthrough (thanks to @ianm-nv), the possibility to use pre-compiled -rc kernels from Ubuntu mainline builds, the possibility to use virtiofs natively on arm64, some improvements to run virtme-ng cross-architecture and cross-distro and the usual set of bug fixes.

Future plans include the generalization of PCI passthrough support (not only GPUs) and improving the cross-architecture support.
