-Version 2.5.0 rc3
------------------
-*(Released Wed, 26 Oct 2011)*
+Version 2.6.0 beta1
+-------------------
+
+*(unreleased)*
+
+- Deprecated ``admin_up`` instance field. Instead, ``admin_state`` is
+ introduced, with 3 possible values -- ``up``, ``down`` and
+ ``offline``.
+- Replaced ``--disks`` option of ``gnt-instance replace-disks`` with a
+ more flexible ``--disk`` option. Now disk size and mode can be changed
+ upon recreation.
+- Removed deprecated ``QueryLocks`` LUXI request. Use
+ ``Query(what=QR_LOCK, ...)`` instead.
+- The LUXI requests :pyeval:`luxi.REQ_QUERY_JOBS`,
+ :pyeval:`luxi.REQ_QUERY_INSTANCES`, :pyeval:`luxi.REQ_QUERY_NODES`,
+ :pyeval:`luxi.REQ_QUERY_GROUPS`, :pyeval:`luxi.REQ_QUERY_EXPORTS` and
+ :pyeval:`luxi.REQ_QUERY_TAGS` are deprecated and will be removed in a
+ future version. :pyeval:`luxi.REQ_QUERY` should be used instead.
+- RAPI client: ``CertificateError`` now derives from ``GanetiApiError``
+- Deprecation warnings due to PyCrypto/paramiko import in
+ ``tools/setup-ssh`` have been silenced, as usually they are safe;
+ please make sure to run an up-to-date paramiko version
+- The QA scripts now depend on Python 2.5 or above
+
+
+Version 2.5.1
+-------------
+
+*(Released Fri, 11 May 2012)*
+
+A small bugfix release.
+
+The main issues solved are on the topic of compatibility with newer LVM
+releases:
+
+- fixed parsing of ``lv_attr`` field
+- adapted to new ``vgreduce --removemissing`` behaviour where sometimes
+ the ``--force`` flag is needed
+
+Also on the topic of compatibility, ``tools/lvmstrap`` has been changed
+to accept kernel 3.x too (was hardcoded to 2.6.*).
+
+A regression present in 2.5.0 that broke handling (in the gnt-* scripts)
+of hook results and that also made display of other errors suboptimal
+was fixed; the code behaves now like 2.4 and earlier.
+
+Another change in 2.5, the cleanup of the OS scripts environment, is too
+aggressive: it removed even the ``PATH`` variable, which requires the OS
+scripts to *always* need to export it. Since this is a bit too strict,
+we now export a minimal PATH, the same that we export for hooks.
+
+The fix for issue 201 (Preserve bridge MTU in KVM ifup script) was
+integrated into this release.
+
+Finally, a few other miscellaneous changes were done (no new features,
+just small improvements):
+
+- Fix ``gnt-group --help`` display
+- Fix hardcoded Xen kernel path
+- Fix grow-disk handling of invalid units
+- Update synopsis for ``gnt-cluster repair-disk-sizes``
+- Accept both PUT and POST in noded (makes future upgrade to 2.6 easier)
+
+

+
+*(Released Thu, 12 Apr 2012)*
Incompatible/important changes and bugfixes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- :doc:`New iallocator modes <design-multi-reloc>` have been added to

- Offline nodes are ignored when failing over an instance.
+- Support for KVM version 1.0, which changed the version reporting format
+ from 3 to 2 digits.
+- TCP/IP ports used by DRBD disks are returned to a pool upon instance

descriptions.

+ <rapi>`.
- A lockset's internal lock is now also visible in lock monitor.
- Log messages from job queue workers now contain information about the
- A short delay when waiting for job changes reduces the number of LUXI
requests significantly.
- DRBD metadata volumes are overwritten with zeros during disk creation.
+- Out-of-band commands no longer acquire the cluster lock in exclusive
+ mode.
+- ``devel/upload`` now uses correct permissions for directories.
