Important - Upgrade

• Temporarily drop the ZFS support. Based on the current kernel it can't compile successfully, we will continue to follow up. [#2299]
• User-docker does not work well with docker-17.12.1+. For more information, please refer to here. Upgrading to v1.4.0 will cause you to lose user-docker data. Please refer to guide for instructions on how to preserve it.
• Default storage driver has now switched to Overlay2 for system-docker. [#2298]

Note on upgrade: if you use ros os upgrade to upgrade this version from pre-v1.2, the data under system-docker will be wiped as storage driver is changed to Overylay2. User needs to backup and restore the system-docker data before an upgrade. Detailed steps can be found here.

Note on memory requirements: 1GB is not enough now, but it will be improved on next release. Please refer to here
