-Version 2.7.0 rc2
+Version 2.10.0 rc1
+------------------
+
+*(Released Tue, 17 Dec 2013)*
+
+Incompatible/important changes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- Adding disks with 'gnt-instance modify' now waits for the disks to sync per
+ default. Specify --no-wait-for-sync to override this behavior.
+- The Ganeti python code now adheres to a private-module layout. In particular,
+ the module 'ganeti' is no longer in the python search path.
+- On instance allocation, the iallocator now considers non-LVM storage
+ properly. In particular, actual file storage space information is used
+ when allocating space for a file/sharedfile instance.
+- When disabling disk templates cluster-wide, the cluster now first
+ checks whether there are instances still using those templates.
+- 'gnt-node list-storage' now also reports storage information about
+ file-based storage types.
+- In case of non drbd instances, export \*_SECONDARY environment variables
+ as empty strings (and not "None") during 'instance-migrate' related hooks.
+
+New features
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- KVM hypervisors can now access RBD storage directly without having to
+ go through a block device.
+- A new command 'gnt-cluster upgrade' was added that automates the upgrade
+ procedure between two Ganeti versions that are both 2.10 or higher.
+- The move-instance command can now change disk templates when moving
+ instances, and does not require any node placement options to be
+ specified if the destination cluster has a default iallocator.
+- Users can now change the soundhw and cpuid settings for XEN hypervisors.
+- Hail and hbal now have the (optional) capability of accessing average CPU
+ load information through the monitoring deamon, and to use it to dynamically
+ adapt the allocation of instances.
+- Hotplug support. Introduce new option '--hotplug' to ``gnt-instance modify``
+ so that disk and NIC modifications take effect without the need of actual
+ reboot. There are a couple of constrains currently for this feature:
+
+ - only KVM hypervisor (versions >= 1.0) supports it,
+ - one can not (yet) hotplug a disk using userspace access mode for RBD
+ - in case of a downgrade instances should suffer a reboot in order to
+ be migratable (due to core change of runtime files)
+
+Misc changes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- A new test framework for logical units was introduced and the test
+ coverage for logical units was improved significantly.
+- Opcodes are entirely generated from Haskell using the tool 'hs2py' and
+ the module 'src/Ganeti/OpCodes.hs'.
+- Constants are also generated from Haskell using the tool
+ 'hs2py-constants' and the module 'src/Ganeti/Constants.hs', with the
+ exception of socket related constants, which require changing the
+ cluster configuration file, and HVS related constants, because they
+ are part of a port of instance queries to Haskell. As a result, these
+ changes will be part of the next release of Ganeti.
+
+New dependencies
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The following new dependencies have been added/updated.
+
+Python
+
+- The version requirements for ``python-mock`` have increased to at least
+ version 1.0.1. It is still used for testing only.

+
+Version 2.9.1
+-------------
+
+*(Released Wed, 13 Nov 2013)*
+
+- fix bug, that kept nodes offline when readding
+- when verifying DRBD versions, ignore unavailable nodes
+- fix bug that made the console unavailable on kvm in split-user
+ setup (issue 608)
+- DRBD: ensure peers are UpToDate for dual-primary (inherited 2.8.2)
+
+
+Version 2.9.0
+-------------
+
+*(Released Tue, 5 Nov 2013)*
+
+Incompatible/important changes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- hroller now also plans for capacity to move non-redundant instances off
+ any node to be rebooted; the old behavior of completely ignoring any
+ non-redundant instances can be restored by adding the --ignore-non-redundant
+ option.
+- The cluster option '--no-lvm-storage' was removed in favor of the new option
+ '--enabled-disk-templates'.
+- On instance creation, disk templates no longer need to be specified
+ with '-t'. The default disk template will be taken from the list of
+ enabled disk templates.
+- The monitoring daemon is now running as root, in order to be able to collect
+ information only available to root (such as the state of Xen instances).
+- The ConfD client is now IPv6 compatible.
+- File and shared file storage is no longer dis/enabled at configure time,
+ but using the option '--enabled-disk-templates' at cluster initialization and
+ modification.
+- The default directories for file and shared file storage are not anymore
+ specified at configure time, but taken from the cluster's configuration.
+ They can be set at cluster initialization and modification with
+ '--file-storage-dir' and '--shared-file-storage-dir'.
+- Cluster verification now includes stricter checks regarding the
+ default file and shared file storage directories. It now checks that
+ the directories are explicitely allowed in the 'file-storage-paths' file and
+ that the directories exist on all nodes.
+- The list of allowed disk templates in the instance policy and the list
+ of cluster-wide enabled disk templates is now checked for consistency
+ on cluster or group modification. On cluster initialization, the ipolicy
+ disk templates are ensured to be a subset of the cluster-wide enabled
+ disk templates.
+
+New features
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- 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.
+- New "inst-status-xen" data collector for the monitoring daemon, providing
+ information about the state of the xen instances on the nodes.
+- New "lv" data collector for the monitoring daemon, collecting data about the
+ logical volumes on the nodes, and pairing them with the name of the instances
+ they belong to.
+- New "diskstats" data collector, collecting the data from /proc/diskstats and
+ presenting them over the monitoring daemon interface.
+- The ConfD client is now IPv6 compatible.
+
+New dependencies
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The following new dependencies have been added.
+
+Python
+
+- ``python-mock`` (http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/mock/) is now a required
+ for the unit tests (and only used for testing).
+
+Haskell
+
+- ``hslogger`` (http://software.complete.org/hslogger) is now always
+ required, even if confd is not enabled.
+
+Since 2.9.0 rc3

+
+
+Version 2.8.0
+-------------
+
+*(Released Mon, 30 Sep 2013)*
+
+Incompatible/important changes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- Instance policy can contain multiple instance specs, as described in
+ the “Constrained instance sizes” section of :doc:`Partitioned Ganeti
+ <design-partitioned>`. As a consequence, it's not possible to partially change
+ or override instance specs. Bounding specs (min and max) can be specified as a
+ whole using the new option ``--ipolicy-bounds-specs``, while standard
+ specs use the new option ``--ipolicy-std-specs``.
+- The output of the info command of gnt-cluster, gnt-group, gnt-node,
+ gnt-instance is a valid YAML object.
+- 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
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- 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.
+- Disk templates in group ipolicy can be restored to the default value.
+- Initial support for diskless instances and virtual clusters in QA.
+- More QA and unit tests for instance policies.
+- Every opcode now contains a reason trail (visible through ``gnt-job info``)
+ describing why the opcode itself was executed.
+- The monitoring daemon is now available. It allows users to query the cluster
+ for obtaining information about the status of the system. The daemon is only
+ responsible for providing the information over the network: the actual data
+ gathering is performed by data collectors (currently, only the DRBD status
+ collector is available).
+- In order to help developers work on Ganeti, a new script
+ (``devel/build_chroot``) is provided, for building a chroot that contains all
+ the required development libraries and tools for compiling Ganeti on a Debian
+ Squeeze system.
+- A new tool, ``harep``, for performing self-repair and recreation of instances
+ in Ganeti has been added.
+- Split queries are enabled for tags, network, exports, cluster info, groups,
+ jobs, nodes.
+- New command ``show-ispecs-cmd`` for ``gnt-cluster`` and ``gnt-group``.
+ It prints the command line to set the current policies, to ease
+ changing them.
+- Add the ``vnet_hdr`` HV parameter for KVM, to control whether the tap
+ devices for KVM virtio-net interfaces will get created with VNET_HDR
+ (IFF_VNET_HDR) support. If set to false, it disables offloading on the
+ 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.
+
+
+New dependencies
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The following new dependencies have been added:
+
+For Haskell:
+- The ``curl`` library is not optional anymore for compiling the Haskell code.
+- ``snap-server`` library (if monitoring is enabled).
+
+For Python:
+- The minimum Python version needed to run Ganeti is now 2.6.
+- ``yaml`` library (only for running the QA).
+
+Since 2.8.0 rc3
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+- Perform proper cleanup on termination of Haskell daemons
+- Fix corner-case in handling of remaining retry time
+
+
+Version 2.8.0 rc3
+-----------------
+
+*(Released Tue, 17 Sep 2013)*
+
+- To simplify the work of packaging frameworks that want to add the needed users
