-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.
+
+
+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_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.
+- The cluster option '--no-lvm-storage' was removed in favor of the new option
+ '--enabled-disk-templates'.
+
+
+Version 2.7.0 rc2
-----------------
*(unreleased)*
+- ``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.

Incompatible/important changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- 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)
