2.19.0.RC3

Changes between 2.18.0 and 2.19.0.RC3

This is a pre-release with new features, usability improvements, bug fixes, and dependency upgrades. It is backward compatible with 2.18.0. All users are encouraged to test it.

This release introduces a new way to run PerfTest with a single JAR file (uber JAR). This is as of now the preferred way to run PerfTest. The archives (ZIP and TAR.GZ) and the native executable are deprecated and will be removed in PerfTest 3.0.
