-   * Docker containers now propagate DNS attributes out to the host they're
-     docked in. So if a docker container sets a DNS alias, every container
-     it's docked in will automatically be added to a DNS round-robin,
-     when propellor is used to manage DNS for the domain.
-   * Apt.stdSourcesList no longer needs a suite to be specified.
-   * Added --dump to dump out a field of a host's privdata. Useful for editing
-     it.
-   * Propellor's output now includes the hostname being provisioned, or
-     when provisioning a docker container, the container name."""]]

+   * The Debian package now includes a single-revision git repository in
+     /usr/src/propellor/, and ~/.propellor/ is set up to use this repository as
+     its origin remote. This avoids relying on the security of the github
+     repository when using the Debian package.

+     and a newer version is available, after which git merge upstream/master
+     can be run to merge it.
+   * Included the config.hs symlink to config-simple.hs in the cabal and Debian
+     packages."""]]
