[Rose-2019.01.2](https://github.com/metomi/rose/releases/tag/2019.01.2) is the perfect companion of Cylc-7.8.3 (see [Cylc-7.8.3 announcement](https://cylc.discourse.group/t/cylc-7-8-3-released/61)).

This is a minor release with these changes:

- Rose commands will now allow mojibake to pass through in diagnostic messages.

- rose suite-run: a new suite variable dict `ROSE_SUITE_VARIABLES` is now available for templating insertion.

- rose app-run, rose task-run, rose suite-run: allow use of `--define=...` on top level special settings such as `opts` and `import` in configuration.
