-Version 2.7.0 rc1
------------------
+Version 2.9.0 beta1
+-------------------
*(unreleased)*
+- DRBD 8.4 support. Depending on the installed DRBD version, Ganeti now uses
+ the correct command syntax. It is possible to use different DRBD versions
+ on different nodes as long as they are compatible to each other. This
+ enables rolling upgrades of DRBD with no downtime. As permanent operation
+ of different DRBD versions within a node group is discouraged,
+ ``gnt-cluster verify`` will emit a warning if it detects such a situation.
+- hroller now also plans for capacity to move non-redundant instances off
+ any node to be rebooted; the old behavior of completely ignoring any
+ non-redundant instances can be restored by adding the --ignore-non-redundant
+ option.
+- 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.

+Version 2.8.0 beta1

+
+Incompatible/important changes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- Instance policy can contain multiple instance specs, as described in
+ the “Constrained instance sizes” section of :doc:`Partitioned Ganeti
+ <design-partitioned>`. As a consequence, it's not possible to partially change
+ or override instance specs. Bounding specs (min and max) can be specified as a
+ whole using the new option ``--ipolicy-bounds-specs``, while standard
+ specs use the new option ``--ipolicy-std-specs``.
+- The output of the info command of gnt-cluster, gnt-group, gnt-node,
+ gnt-instance is a valid YAML object.
+- hail now honors network restrictions when allocating nodes. This led to an
+ update of the IAllocator protocol. See the IAllocator documentation for
+ details.
+
+New features
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- 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_disk_templates' is introduced. It will
+ be used to manage the disk templates to be used by instances in the cluster.
+ Initially, it will be set to a list that includes plain, drbd, if they were
+ enabled by specifying a volume group name, and file and sharedfile, if those
+ were enabled at configure time. Additionally, it will include all disk
+ templates that are currently used by instances. The order of disk templates
+ 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 disk template on instance
+ creation.
+- ``cfgupgrade`` now supports a ``--downgrade`` option to bring the
+ configuration back to the previous stable version.
+- Disk templates in group ipolicy can be restored to the default value.
+- Initial support for diskless instances and virtual clusters in QA.
+- More QA and unit tests for instance policies.
+- Every opcode now contains a reason trail (visible through ``gnt-job info``)
+ describing why the opcode itself was executed.
+- The monitoring daemon is now available. It allows users to query the cluster
+ for obtaining information about the status of the system. The daemon is only
+ responsible for providing the information over the network: the actual data
+ gathering is performed by data collectors (currently, only the DRBD status
+ collector is available).
+- In order to help developers work on Ganeti, a new script
+ (``devel/build_chroot``) is provided, for building a chroot that contains all
+ the required development libraries and tools for compiling Ganeti on a Debian
+ Squeeze system.
+- A new tool, ``harep``, for performing self-repair and recreation of instances
+ in Ganeti has been added.
+- Split queries are enabled for tags, network, exports, cluster info, groups,
+ jobs, nodes.
+- New command ``show-ispecs-cmd`` for ``gnt-cluster`` and ``gnt-group``.
+ It prints the command line to set the current policies, to ease
+ changing them.
+
+New dependencies
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The following new dependencies have been added:
+
+For Haskell:
+- The ``curl`` library is not optional anymore for compiling the Haskell code.
+- ``snap-server`` library (if monitoring is enabled).
+
+For Python:
+- The minimum Python version needed to run Ganeti is now 2.6.
+- ``yaml`` library (only for running the QA).
+
+
+Version 2.7.1

+- Add logrotate functionality in daemon-util
+- Add logrotate example file
+- Add missing fields to network queries over rapi
+- Fix network object timestamps
+- Add support for querying network timestamps
+- Fix a typo in the example crontab
+- Fix a documentation typo

Incompatible/important changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The functionality for allocating multiple instances at once has been
overhauled and is now also available through :doc:`RAPI <rapi>`.
+There are no significant changes from version 2.7.0~rc3.
+
+
+Version 2.7.0 rc3
+-----------------

+
+
+Version 2.7.0 rc2
+-----------------
+
+*(Released Fri, 24 May 2013)*
+
+- ``devel/upload`` now works when ``/var/run`` on the target nodes is a
+ symlink.
+- Disks added through ``gnt-instance modify`` or created through
+ ``gnt-instance recreate-disks`` are wiped, if the
+ ``prealloc_wipe_disks`` flag is set.
+- If wiping newly created disks fails, the disks are removed. Also,
+ partial failures in creating disks through ``gnt-instance modify``
+ triggers a cleanup of the partially-created disks.
+- Removing the master IP address doesn't fail if the address has been
+ already removed.
+- Fix ownership of the OS log dir
+- Workaround missing SO_PEERCRED constant (Issue 191)
+
+
+Version 2.7.0 rc1
+-----------------
+
+*(Released Fri, 3 May 2013)*
-Since beta3:
+This was the first release candidate of the 2.7 series. Since beta3:
- Fix kvm compatibility with qemu 1.4 (Issue 389)
- Documentation updates (admin guide, upgrade notes, install
- Disable inter-cluster instance move for file-based instances, because
it is dependant on instance export, which is not supported for
file-based instances. (Issue 414)
+- Fix gnt-job crashes on non-ascii characters (Issue 427)
+- Fix volume group checks on non-vm-capable nodes (Issue 432)
