+Version 2.8.0 beta1
+-------------------
+
+*(unreleased)*
+
+- 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.

- ``gnt-instance batch-create`` has been changed to use the bulk create
opcode from Ganeti. This lead to incompatible changes in the format of
- Instance renames of LVM-based instances will now update the LV tags
(which can be used to recover the instance-to-LV mapping in case of
emergencies)
+- ``hbal`` will now exit with status 0 if, during job execution over
+ LUXI, early exit has been requested and all jobs are successful;
+ before, exit status 1 was used, which cannot be differentiated from
+ "job error" case
