   opcode from Ganeti. This lead to incompatible changes in the format of
   the JSON file. It's now not a custom dict anymore but a dict
   compatible with the ``OpInstanceCreate`` opcode.
+- Parent directories for file storage need now to be listed in
+  ``$sysconfdir/ganeti/file-storage-paths``. ``cfgupgrade`` will write
+  the file automatically based on old configuration values, but it can
+  not distribute it across all nodes and the file contents should be
+  verified. Use ``gnt-cluster copyfile
+  $sysconfdir/ganeti/file-storage-paths`` once the cluster has been
+  upgraded. The reason for requiring this list of paths now is that
+  before it would have been possible to inject new paths via RPC,
+  allowing files to be created in arbitrary locations. The RPC protocol
+  is protected using SSL/X.509 certificates, but as a design principle
+  Ganeti does not permit arbitrary paths to be passed.
+- The parsing of the variants file for OSes (see
+  :manpage:`ganeti-os-interface(8)` has been slightly changed: now empty
+  lines and comment lines are ignored for better readability.
+- The ``setup-ssh`` tool added in Ganeti 2.2 has been replaced.
+  ``gnt-node add`` now invokes a new tool on the destination node, named
+  ``prepare-node-join``, to configure the SSH daemon. Paramiko is no
+  longer necessary to configure nodes' SSH daemons via ``gnt-node add``.
+- A new user option, :pyeval:`rapi.RAPI_ACCESS_READ`, has been added
+  for RAPI users. It allows granting permissions to query for
+  information to a specific user without giving
+  :pyeval:`rapi.RAPI_ACCESS_WRITE` permissions.

+-------------
+
+*(Released Fri, 12 Oct 2012)*
+
+A small bugfix release. Among the bugs fixed:
+
+- Fixed double use of ``PRIORITY_OPT`` in ``gnt-node migrate``, that
+  made the command unusable.
+- Commands that issue many jobs don't fail anymore just because some jobs
+  take so long that other jobs are archived.
+- Failures during ``gnt-instance reinstall`` are reflected by the exit
+  status.
+- Issue 190 fixed. Check for DRBD in cluster verify is enabled only when
+  DRBD is enabled.
+- When ``always_failover`` is set, ``--allow-failover`` is not required
+  in migrate commands anymore.
+- ``bash_completion`` works even if extglob is disabled.
+- Fixed bug with locks that made failover for RDB-based instances fail.
+- Fixed bug in non-mirrored instance allocation that made Ganeti choose
+  a random node instead of one based on the allocator metric.
+- Support for newer versions of pylint and pep8.
+- Hail doesn't fail anymore when trying to add an instance of type
+  ``file``, ``sharedfile`` or ``rbd``.
+- Added new Makefile target to rebuild the whole distribution, so that
+  all files are included.
