+Version 2.9.0 beta1
+-------------------
+
+*(unreleased)*
+
+- DRBD 8.4 support. Depending on the installed DRBD version, Ganeti now uses
+ the correct command syntax. It is possible to use different DRBD versions
+ on different nodes as long as they are compatible to each other. This
+ enables rolling upgrades of DRBD with no downtime. As permanent operation
+ of different DRBD versions within a node group is discouraged,
+ ``gnt-cluster verify`` will emit a warning if it detects such a situation.

+Version 2.7.0 rc2
+-----------------
+
+*(unreleased)*
+
+- ``devel/upload`` now works when ``/var/run`` on the target nodes is a
+ symlink.
+- Disks added through ``gnt-instance modify`` or created through
+ ``gnt-instance recreate-disks`` are wiped, if the
+ ``prealloc_wipe_disks`` flag is set.
+- If wiping newly created disks fails, the disks are removed. Also,
+ partial failures in creating disks through ``gnt-instance modify``
+ triggers a cleanup of the partially-created disks.
+- Removing the master IP address doesn't fail if the address has been
+ already removed.
