+propellor 4.0.0 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
+[[!toggleable text="""
+ * Added Monoid instances for Property and RevertableProperty.
+ * Removed applyToList. Instead, use mconcat. (API change)
+ If you had: applyToList accountFor [User "joey", User "root"]
+ use instead: mconcat (map accountFor [User "joey", User "root"])
+ * Makefile: Removed "run" target which was default target.
+ "make" now only builds propellor, does not run it.
+ Note that propellor 1.0.0 and earlier relied on this target for
+ the Cron.runPropellor property's cronjob to work, so upgrading
+ directly from 1.0.0 to 4.0.0 would break that cron job.
+ * Remove make from propellor's dependency list; it's not used by
+ propellor any longer.
+ * Implemented hostChroot, as originally seen in my slides at
+ Linux.Conf.Au 2017 in January. Now that it's not vaporware, it allows
+ one Host to build a disk image that has all the properties of another
+ Host.
+ * DiskImage building properties used to propagate DNS info out from
+ the chroot used to build the disk image to the Host. That is no longer
+ done, since that chroot only exists as a side effect of the disk image
+ creation and servers will not be running in it.
+ * The IsInfo types class's propagateInfo function changed to use a
+ PropagateInfo data type. (API change)
+ * The action used to satisfy a property changed to Maybe (Propellor Result).
+ When it is Nothing, propellor knows it can skip displaying the
+ description of that property. This is mostly useful in the
+ implementation of mempty. (API change)
+ * The doNothing property is now simply mempty. The name was retained
+ because it can be clearer than mempty in some contexts.
+ * Added Apache.confEnabled."""]] \ No newline at end of file
