+ opportunistically anymore (Issue 622)
+- Allow link local IPv6 gateways (Issue 624)
+- Fix error printing (Issue 616)
+- Fix a bug in InstanceSetParams concerning names: in case no name is passed in
+ disk modifications, keep the old one. If name=none then set disk name to
+ None.
+- Update build_chroot script to work with the latest hackage packages
+- Add a packet number limit to "fping" in master-ip-setup (Issue 630)

+
+Version 2.8.0
+-------------
+
+*(Released Mon, 30 Sep 2013)*
Incompatible/important changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- hail now honors network restrictions when allocating nodes. This led to an
update of the IAllocator protocol. See the IAllocator documentation for
details.
+- confd now only answers static configuration request over the network. luxid
+ was extracted, listens on the local LUXI socket and responds to live queries.
+ This allows finer grained permissions if using separate users.
New features
~~~~~~~~~~~~
virtio-net interfaces, which prevents host kernel tainting and log
flooding, when dealing with broken or malicious virtio-net drivers.
It's set to true by default.
+- Instance failover now supports a ``--cleanup`` parameter for fixing previous
+ failures.
+- Support 'viridian' parameter in Xen HVM
+- Support DSA SSH keys in bootstrap
+- To simplify the work of packaging frameworks that want to add the needed users
+ and groups in a split-user setup themselves, at build time three files in
+ ``doc/users`` will be generated. The ``groups`` files contains, one per line,
+ the groups to be generated, the ``users`` file contains, one per line, the
+ users to be generated, optionally followed by their primary group, where
+ important. The ``groupmemberships`` file contains, one per line, additional
+ user-group membership relations that need to be established. The syntax of
+ these files will remain stable in all future versions.
+
