- Improved job locking logic to reduce impact of jobs acquiring multiple
locks waiting for other long-running jobs
-Detailed implementation details can be found in the Ganeti 2.1 design
+In-depth implementation details can be found in the Ganeti 2.1 design
document.

``device_model``)
- Added more options to xen-pvm hypervisor (``use_bootloader``,
``bootloader_path`` and ``bootloader_args``)
+- Added the ``use_localtime`` option for the xen-hvm and kvm
+ hypervisors, and the default value for this has changed to false (in
+ 2.0 xen-hvm always enabled it)
- Added luxi call to submit multiple jobs in one go
-- Added cluster initialization time option to not modify ``/etc/hosts``
+- Added cluster initialization option to not modify ``/etc/hosts``
file on nodes
- Added network interface parameters
- Added dry run mode to some LUs
from one place
- Added more unittests
- Fixed critical bug in ganeti-masterd startup
+- Removed the configure-time ``kvm-migration-port`` parameter, this is
+ now customisable at the cluster level for both the KVM and Xen
+ hypervisors using the new ``migration_port`` parameter
- Pass ``INSTANCE_REINSTALL`` variable to OS installation script when
reinstalling an instance
- Migrated to Sphinx (http://sphinx.pocoo.org/) for documentation
