-Version 0.5 (unreleased)
-------------------------
+Version 0.9
+-----------
+
+Changed the default CUSTOMIZE_DIR (under $sysconfdir, usually /etc) from
+ganeti/instance-debootstrap.d to ganeti/instance-debootstrap/hooks, to
+match better with the directory used for the variants file. Now
+customization of the instance-debootstrap is done either in the defaults
+file or under ganeti/instance-debootstrap.
+
+Fix serial console access for kvm instances (bind to ttyS0 rather than
+console). Please note that with this change if you toggle the serial
+console hypervisor parameter in Ganeti, but don't create the getty entry
+in /etc/inittab or /etc/event.d/ you won't have serial access. Before it
+used to work, but the serial console was slightly broken (no ctrl+c for
+example).
+
+Also start shipping the examples in the tar archive, to ease packaging.
+
+Version 0.8
+-----------
+
+Added support for OS API 15 (with OS variants) that is supported by
+Ganeti 2.1.
+
+blktype is now supported as an alternative to vol_id; this is needed for
+newer Debian-based operating systems.
+
+Added an example grub script, that can be used for automatically
+installing grub inside new instances.
+
+Version 0.7
+-----------
+
+Fix Ganeti 1.2 compatibility (0.6 was broken) and force the scripts to be
+executed under /bin/bash (rather than /bin/sh). This fixes compatibility with
+distributions where /bin/sh is not bash.
+
+Support 'msdos' partition style, in which the instance disk gets a partition
+table, and one big partition, rather than creating the filesytem directly on
+the block device. This requires kpartx to be installed, and is the default when
+installing under Ganeti 2.0.
+
+Added the possibility to customize the installation without having to patch the
+os directly, by executing the scripts in CUSTOMIZE_DIR and giving them a chance
+to change the instance filesystem. As an example a script that sets the first
+nic to request a dhcp address is provided.
+
+Version 0.6
+-----------
+
+Support for Ganeti 2.0 (os api 10)
+
+The instance's fstab is now generated with volumes' UUIDs rather than paths.
+This makes it more resilient to changes and use under different
+hypervisors/drivers.
+
+Init is configured to listen on /dev/console rather than /dev/tty1
+
+Version 0.5
