+- Bump version: 9.16.36 → 9.17.0

+- Change bundling of image formats
+  
+  By default none of the image formats were stored as compressed
+  file. The reason behind this was the assumption that some
+  formats automatically makes use of compression, which is true
+  but only in their processing and not in their data blocks at
+  creation time. Storage and handling of the image file itself
+  becomes cumbersome and therefore we change the default bundle
+  setup for image formats to be compressed. This means the image
+  as it gets packed by KIWI needs to be uncompressed before use.
+  The following image formats are affected by the change in a
+  call of the result bundler:
+  
+  kiwi result bundle ...
+  
+  * qcow2 (.qcow2.xz)
+  * vdi   (.vdi.xz)
+  * vhd   (.vhd.xz)
+  * vhdx  (.vhdx.xz)
+  * vmdk  (.vmdk.xz)
+    
+    All other image formats already defined a custom bundling
+    setup including compression and are not affected by this change.
+    This Fixes #650

+- Fixed firmware strip and lookup for kiwi initrd
+  
+  In a kiwi initrd the function baseStripFirmware can be
+  used to strip down the firmware to the actually used
+  kernel drivers in that initrd. The code to do this was
+  broken due to the changes in #64cb5b003140a. This
+  patch done by Ruediger Oertel <ro@suse.de> fixes the
+  method to work correctly again.

+- kiwi-partitions-lib: wait for udev before lsblk
+  
+  A LVM-enabled oem image spuriously did not resize its PV / LVs. Tracking
+  this down, I discovered that lsblk was sometimes racing with udev and
+  the disk was just not available during get_partition_node_name().
+  Call udev_pending() before all lsblk calls to avoid that.
+  (lsblk man page also advocates this to synchronize with udev)
