+
+- integrated fixes from release 2.5.2 (fix general boot flag for KVM
+ instance, fix CDROM booting for KVM instances)

+
+
+Version 2.6.0 rc3
+-----------------
+
+*(Released Fri, 13 Jul 2012)*
+
+Third release candidate for 2.6. The following changes were done from
+rc3 to rc4:
+
+- Fixed ``UpgradeConfig`` w.r.t. to disk parameters on disk objects.
+- Fixed an inconsistency in the LUXI protocol with the provided
+ arguments (NOT backwards compatible)
+- Fixed a bug with node groups ipolicy where ``min`` was greater than
+ the cluster ``std`` value
+- Implemented a new ``gnt-node list-drbd`` call to list DRBD minors for
+ easier instance debugging on nodes (requires ``hconfd`` to work)
+
+
+Version 2.6.0 rc2
+-----------------
+
+*(Released Tue, 03 Jul 2012)*
+
+Second release candidate for 2.6. The following changes were done from
+rc2 to rc3:

+ master candidates

+ offline
+- Made it possible to reinstall even though secondaries are offline

+ ``instance_os_add``
+- Made ``gnt-instance modify`` more consistent regarding new NIC/Disk
+ behaviour. It supports now the modify operation
+- ``hcheck`` implemented to analyze cluster health and possibility of
+ improving health by rebalance
