*(unreleased)*
+- The minimum Python version needed to run Ganeti is now 2.6.
- The :doc:`Remote API <rapi>` daemon now supports a command line flag
to always require authentication, ``--require-authentication``. It can
be specified in ``$sysconfdir/default/ganeti``.
+- A new cluster attribute 'enabled_disk_templates' is introduced. It will
+ be used to manage the disk templates to be used by instances in the cluster.
+ Initially, it will be set to a list that includes plain, drbd, if they were
+ enabled by specifying a volume group name, and file and sharedfile, if those
+ were enabled at configure time. Additionally, it will include all disk
+ templates that are currently used by instances. The order of disk templates
+ will be based on Ganeti's history of supporting them. In the future, the
+ first entry of the list will be used as a default disk template on instance
+ creation.
+- ``cfgupgrade`` now supports a ``--downgrade`` option to bring the
+ configuration back to the previous stable version.
+- The cluster option '--no-lvm-storage' was removed in favor of the new option
+ '--enabled-disk-templates'.

+*(unreleased)*
+
+- Fix hail to verify disk instance policies on a per-disk basis (Issue 418).
+
+
+Version 2.7.0 beta2
+-------------------
+
+*(Released Tue, 2 Apr 2013)*
+
+- Networks no longer have a "type" slot, since this information was
+ unused in Ganeti: instead of it tags should be used.
+- Diskless instances are now externally mirrored (Issue 237). This for
+ now has only been tested in conjunction with explicit target nodes for
+ migration/failover.
+- The rapi client now has a ``target_node`` option to MigrateInstance.
+- Fix early exit return code for hbal (Issue 386).
+- Fix ``gnt-instance migrate/failover -n`` (Issue 396).
+- Fix ``rbd showmapped`` output parsing (Issue 312).
+- Networks are now referenced indexed by UUID, rather than name. This
+ will require running cfgupgrade, from 2.7.0beta1, if networks are in
+ use.
+- The OS environment now includes network information.
+- Deleting of a network is now disallowed if any instance nic is using
+ it, to prevent dangling references.
+- External storage is now documented in man pages.
+- The exclusive_storage flag can now only be set at nodegroup level.
+- Hbal can now submit an explicit priority with its jobs.
+- Many network related locking fixes.
+- Bump up the required pylint version to 0.25.1.
+- Fix the ``no_remember`` option in RAPI client.
+- Many ipolicy related tests, qa, and fixes.
+- Many documentation improvements and fixes.
+- Fix building with ``--disable-file-storage``.
+- Fix ``-q`` option in htools, which was broken if passed more than
+ once.
+- Some haskell/python interaction improvements and fixes.
+- Fix iallocator in case of missing LVM storage.
+- Fix confd config load in case of ``--no-lvm-storage``.
+- The confd/query functionality is now mentioned in the security
+ documentation.
Version 2.7.0 beta1
- Instance renames of LVM-based instances will now update the LV tags
(which can be used to recover the instance-to-LV mapping in case of
emergencies)
+- ``hbal`` will now exit with status 0 if, during job execution over
+ LUXI, early exit has been requested and all jobs are successful;
+ before, exit status 1 was used, which cannot be differentiated from
+ "job error" case
