 - 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.
+- 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 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 storage is no longer dis/enabled at configure time, but using the
+  option '--enabled-disk-templates' at cluster initialization and
+  modification.
+- The default directory for file storage is not anymore specified at
+  configure time, but taken from the cluster's configuration. It can be
+  set at cluster initialization and modification with '--file-storage-dir'.
+- Cluster verification now includes stricter checks regarding the
+  default file storage dir. It now checks that the file storage
+  directory is explicitely allowed in the 'file-storage-paths' file and
+  that the directory exists on all nodes.
