+Version 2.5.0 beta1
+-------------------
+
+*(unreleased)*
+
+- The default of the ``/2/instances/[instance_name]/rename`` RAPI
+ resource's ``ip_check`` parameter changed from ``True`` to ``False``
+ to match the underlying LUXI interface
+- When creating file-based instances via RAPI, the ``file_driver``
+ parameter no longer defaults to ``loop`` and must be specified
+- The deprecated "bridge" nic parameter is no longer supported. Use
+ "link" instead.
+- Support for the undocumented and deprecated RAPI instance creation
+ request format version 0 has been dropped. Use version 1, supported
+ since Ganeti 2.1.3 and :doc:`documented <rapi>`, instead.
+- Pyparsing 1.4.6 or above is required, see :doc:`installation
+ documentation <install>`
+- The "cluster-verify" hooks are now executed per group by the
+ OP_CLUSTER_VERIFY_GROUP opcode. This maintains the same behavior if
+ you just run "gnt-cluster verify", which generates one op per group.
+
+
+Version 2.4.3
+-------------
+
+*(unreleased)*
+
+- Added a new parameter to instance stop/start called ``--no-remember``
+ that will make the state change to not be remembered
+
+
+Version 2.4.2
+-------------
+
+*(Released Thu, 12 May 2011)*
+
+Many bug-fixes and a few new small features:
+
+- Fixed a bug related to log opening failures
+- Fixed a bug in instance listing with orphan instances
+- Fixed a bug which prevented resetting the cluster-level node parameter
+ ``oob_program`` to the default
+- Many fixes related to the ``cluster-merge`` tool
+- Fixed a race condition in the lock monitor, which caused failures
+ during (at least) creation of many instances in parallel
+- Improved output for gnt-job info
+- Removed the quiet flag on some ssh calls which prevented debugging
+ failures
+- Improved the N+1 failure messages in cluster verify by actually
+ showing the memory values (needed and available)
+- Increased lock attempt timeouts so that when executing long operations
+ (e.g. DRBD replace-disks) other jobs do not enter 'blocking acquire'
+ too early and thus prevent the use of the 'fair' mechanism
+- Changed instance query data (``gnt-instance info``) to not acquire
+ locks unless needed, thus allowing its use on locked instance if only
+ static information is asked for
+- Improved behaviour with filesystems that do not support rename on an
+ opened file
+- Fixed the behaviour of ``prealloc_wipe_disks`` cluster parameter which
+ kept locks on all nodes during the wipe, which is unneeded
+- Fixed ``gnt-watcher`` handling of errors during hooks execution
+- Fixed bug in ``prealloc_wipe_disks`` with small disk sizes (less than
+ 10GiB) which caused the wipe to fail right at the end in some cases
+- Fixed master IP activation when doing master failover with no-voting
+- Fixed bug in ``gnt-node add --readd`` which allowed the re-adding of
+ the master node itself
+- Fixed potential data-loss in under disk full conditions, where Ganeti
+ wouldn't check correctly the return code and would consider
+ partially-written files 'correct'
+- Fixed bug related to multiple VGs and DRBD disk replacing
+- Added new disk parameter ``metavg`` that allows placement of the meta
+ device for DRBD in a different volume group
+- Fixed error handling in the node daemon when the system libc doesn't
+ have major number 6 (i.e. if ``libc.so.6`` is not the actual libc)
+- Fixed lock release during replace-disks, which kept cluster-wide locks
+ when doing disk replaces with an iallocator script
+- Added check for missing bridges in cluster verify
+- Handle EPIPE errors while writing to the terminal better, so that
+ piping the output to e.g. ``less`` doesn't cause a backtrace
+- Fixed rare case where a ^C during Luxi calls could have been
+ interpreted as server errors, instead of simply terminating
+- Fixed a race condition in LUGroupAssignNodes (``gnt-group
+ assign-nodes``)
+- Added a few more parameters to the KVM hypervisor, allowing a second
+ CDROM, custom disk type for CDROMs and a floppy image
+- Removed redundant message in instance rename when the name is given
+ already as a FQDN
+- Added option to ``gnt-instance recreate-disks`` to allow creating the
+ disks on new nodes, allowing recreation when the original instance
+ nodes are completely gone
+- Added option when converting disk templates to DRBD to skip waiting
+ for the resync, in order to make the instance available sooner
+- Added two new variables to the OS scripts environment (containing the
+ instance's nodes)
+- Made the root_path and optional parameter for the xen-pvm hypervisor,
+ to allow use of ``pvgrub`` as bootloader
+- Changed the instance memory modifications to only check out-of-memory
+ conditions on memory increases, and turned the secondary node warnings
+ into errors (they can still be overridden via ``--force``)
+- Fixed the handling of a corner case when the Python installation gets
+ corrupted (e.g. a bad disk) while ganeti-noded is running and we try
+ to execute a command that doesn't exist
+- Fixed a bug in ``gnt-instance move`` (LUInstanceMove) when the primary
+ node of the instance returned failures during instance shutdown; this
+ adds the option ``--ignore-consistency`` to gnt-instance move
+
+And as usual, various improvements to the error messages, documentation
+and man pages.
+
+Version 2.4.1
+-------------
+
+*(Released Wed, 09 Mar 2011)*
+
+Emergency bug-fix release. ``tools/cfgupgrade`` was broken and overwrote
+the RAPI users file if run twice (even with ``-dry-run``).
+
+The release fixes that bug (nothing else changed).
+
+
+Version 2.4.0
+-------------
+
+*(Released Mon, 07 Mar 2011)*
+
+Final 2.4.0 release. Just a few small fixes:
+
+- Fixed RAPI node evacuate
+- Fixed the kvm-ifup script
+- Fixed internal error handling for special job cases
+- Updated man page to specify the escaping feature for options
+
+
