which case the output is in ``doc/man-html``. The configure-time
option is ``--enable-manpages-in-doc``. Sphinx 1.0 or higher is
required.
+- A new htool called ``hroller`` helps scheduling parallel shutdown of
+ nodes on clusters where all instances are shut down, but without ever
+ rebooting both primary and secondary node for an instance at the same
+ time.
+- Queries not needing locks or RPC access to the node can now be
+ performed by the confd daemon, making them independent from jobs, and
+ thus faster to execute. This is selectable at configure time.
+- The KVM hypervisor has been updated with many new hypervisor
+ parameters, including a generic one for passing arbitrary command line
+ values. See a complete list in :manpage:`gnt-instance(8)`.
+- A new tool, called ``mon-collector``, is the stand-alone executor of
+ the data collectors for a monitoring system. As of this version, it
+ just includes the DRBD data collector, that can be executed by calling
+ ``mon-collector`` using the ``drbd`` parameter. See
+ :manpage:`mon-collector(7)`.
+- New ``exclusive-storage`` node parameter added. When it's set to true,
+ physical disks are assigned in an exclusive fashion to instances, as
+ documented in :doc:`Partitioned Ganeti <design-partitioned>`.
+ Currently, only instances using the ``plain`` disk template are
+ supported.
+- New network management functionality to support automatic allocation
+ of IP addresses and managing of network parameters. See
+ :manpage:`gnt-network(8)` for more details.
+- New external storage backend, to allow managing arbitrary storage
+ systems external to the cluster. See
+ :manpage:`ganeti-extstorage-interface(7)`.
