     Several libguestfs APIs were reimplemented so they no longer suffer

     You can extract a list of external commands required by the daemon,
     making building the appliance on certain distros easier (Olaf Hering).
 
+    The virt-rescue command is now tested during make check.
+
+    The generator now removes unused generated files. This helps when going
+    back and forth with git rebase, git bisect, etc.
+
+    Tests now run in a separate toplevel tmp/ directory in the source. This
+    allows the directory to be labelled for SELinux (sVirt), and also makes
+    it easier to clean up.
+
+    make syntax-check now works to a greater extent, and many problems in
+    the main code that were found by syntax-check have been fixed (thanks
+    Jim Meyering).
+
+    Emacs mode (-*- foo -*-) has been added to generated files.
+
+    Progress bar output is now sent to /dev/tty so it doesn't end up in the
+    regular output of the program. virt-resize and virt-sparsify now
+    suppress progress bars if stdout is not a tty.
+
+    There is now a ./configure --without-libvirt option. This is useful for
+    testing that the code still compiles without libvirt.
