+- 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_storage_types' is introduced. It will
+  be used to manage the storage types to be used by instances in the cluster.
+  Initially, it will be set to a list that includes lvm, file and sharedfile
+  if those are enabled. Additionally, it will include all storage types that
+  are currently used by instances. The order of storage types 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 storage type on instance creation.
