+ * The DiskImage module can now make bootable images using grub.
+ * Add a ChrootTarball chroot type, for using pre-built tarballs
+ as chroots. Thanks, Ben Boeckel.
+ * HostName: Improve domain extraction code.
+ * Added Mount.fstabbed property to generate /etc/fstab to replicate
+ current mounts.
+ * HostName: Improve domain extraction code.
+ * Add File.basedOn. Thanks, Per Olofsson.
+ * Changed how the operating system is provided to Chroot (API change).
+ Where before debootstrapped and bootstrapped took a System parameter,
+ the os property should now be added to the Chroot.
+ * Follow-on change to Systemd.container, which now takes a System parameter.
+ * Generalized Property.check so it can be used with Propellor actions as
+ well as IO actions.
+ * Hostname.sane and Hostname.setTo can now safely be used as a property
+ of a chroot, and won't affect the hostname of the host system."""]] \ No newline at end of file

+ * RevertableProperty used to be assumed to contain info, but this is
+ now made explicit, with RevertableProperty HasInfo or
+ RevertableProperty NoInfo. (API change)
+ Transition guide:
+ - If you define a RevertableProperty, expect some type check
+ failures like: "Expecting one more argument to ‘RevertableProperty’".
+ - Change it to "RevertableProperty NoInfo"
+ - The compiler will then tell you if it needs "HasInfo" instead.
+ - If you have code that uses the RevertableProperty constructor
+ that fails to type check, use the more powerful &lt;!&gt; operator
+ instead to create the RevertableProperty.
+ * Various property combinators that combined a RevertableProperty
+ with a non-revertable property used to yield a RevertableProperty.
+ This was a bug, because the combined property could not be fully
+ reverted in many cases, and the result is now a non-revertable property.
+ * combineWith now takes an additional parameter to control how revert
+ actions are combined (API change).
+ * Added Propellor.Property.Concurrent for concurrent properties.
+ * Made the execProcess exported by propellor, and everything built on it,
+ avoid scrambled output when run concurrently.
+ * Propellor now depends on STM and text.
+ * The cabal file now builds propellor with -O. While -O0 makes ghc
+ take less memory while building propellor, it can lead to bad memory
+ usage at runtime due to eg, disabled stream fusion.
+ * Add File.isCopyOf. Thanks, Per Olofsson."""]] \ No newline at end of file

+ * Privdata that uses HostContext inside a container will now have the
+ name of the container as its context, rather than the name of

+ * Added basic Uwsgi module, maintained by Félix Sipma.
+ * Add Apt.hasForeignArch. Thanks, Per Olofsson.
+ * Improved documentation, particularly of the Propellor module.
+ * The Propellor module no longer exports many of the things it used to,
+ being now focused on only what's needed to write config.hs.
+ Use Propellor.Base to get all the things exported by Propellor before.
+ (API change)
+ * Some renaming of instance methods, and moving of functions to more
+ appropriate modules. (API change)
+ * Added File.isSymlinkedTo. Thanks, Per Olofsson.
+ * fileProperty, and properties derived from it now write the new
+ file content via origfile.propellor-new~, instead of to a randomly named
+ temp file. This allows them to clean up any temp file that may have
+ been left by an interrupted run of propellor.
+ * Added Propellor.Property.Spin, which can be used to make a host be a
+ controller of other hosts, which will automatically spin them each time
+ propellor is run.
+ * Ssh.keyImported is replaced with Ssh.userKeys. (API change)
+ The new property only gets the private key from the privdata; the
+ public key is provided as a parameter, and so is available as
+ Info that other properties can use.
+ * Ssh.keyImported' is renamed to Ssh.userKeyAt, and also changed
+ to only import the private key from the privdata. (API change)
+ * While Ssh.keyImported and Ssh.keyImported' avoided updating existing
+ keys, the new Ssh.userKeys and Ssh.userKeyAt properties will
+ always update out of date key files.
+ * Ssh.pubKey renamed to Ssh.hostPubKey. (API change)
+ * Added --unset-unused
+ * Fix typo: propigate → propagate. Thanks, Felix Gruber.
+ (A minor API change)
+ * Chroot: Converted to use a ChrootBootstrapper type class, so
+ other ways to bootstrap chroots can easily be added in separate
+ modules. (API change)"""]] \ No newline at end of file
