+Internals
+
+ - The debian/ subdirectory has been removed.  We recommend you use
+   the official Debian packages made by Hilko Bengen.
+
+ - O_CLOEXEC / SOCK_CLOEXEC is now used for almost all file
+   descriptors that the library opens.
+
+ - Close all file descriptors and remove all signal handles in the
+   recovery process.
+
+ - Multiple gcc warnings and Coverity bugs have been fixed.  Many
+   strict-overflow bugs have also been fixed.
+
+ - Use ./configure --enable-valgrind-daemon to use valgrind on the
+   daemon.  Many errors have been fixed.
+
+ - The daemon now has a growable strings buffer type
+   (DECLARE_STRINGSBUF).
+
+ - The <guestfs.h> header file works with C++ and we have a regression
+   test for this.
+
+ - Multiple APIs which should only be called in the CONFIG state now
+   give an error if they are not.
+
+ - .gitignore fixed to use absolute paths
+
+ - gobject bindings have been expanded (thanks Matt Booth)
+
+ - gobject documentation is generated properly (thanks Matt Booth)
+
+ - CompareWithString test in the generator now works
+
+ - FUInt32, FUInt64 struct field types now use the correct XDR type
+
+ - OCaml tests are now run on bytecode and native code.
+
+ - java -Xlint:all is used, and all warnings have been fixed
+
+ - bmptopng, wrestool (etc) missing or failure no longer prints
+   warning messages
+
+ - ruby: Use RbConfig instead of Config.
+
+ - Appliance building is now thread-safe.
+
+ - Appliance now uses 'ip' instead of 'ifconfig' and 'netstat'
+   commands.
