+Release notes for libguestfs 1.14.0
+-----------------------------------
+
+UPDATED TO COMMIT 41260de67f9fa852eab168a6d36276c5deb02bf7
+
+These release notes only cover the differences from the previous
+stable/dev branch split (1.12.0).  For detailed changelogs, please see
+the git repository, or the ChangeLog file distributed in the tarball.
+
+New features
+
+  Erlang bindings.
+
+  virt-alignment-scan is a new tool to check the alignment of
+  partitions within virtual machines or disk images.
+
+  virt-sparsify is a new tool to make virtual machine disk images
+  sparse.
+
+  virt-sysprep is a new tool to make cloning guests from a template
+  simpler.
+
+  inspection:
+
+   - Improve detection of Windows disks.
+
+   - Adds support for:
+         ttylinux - a minimal Linux
+         Mageia (thanks Michael Scherer)
+         OpenSUSE and zypper (thanks Michael Scherer, Vincent Untz)
+         Ubuntu logos (thanks Michael Scherer)
+         NetBSD and pkgsrc (thanks Michael Scherer)
+
+   - Handle some guest types that use /dev/root in /etc/fstab.
+
+   - Fix handling of guests with > 26 disks (thanks Matthew Booth)
+
+   - Add support for guests with HP Smart Array disks (thanks Matthew Booth)
+
+  guestfish:
+
+   - New commands setenv, unsetenv, to set environment variables.
+
+   - The input file and line number is printed in error messages.
+
+   - guestfish progress bars are now a "mini-library" used by other
+     tools too.
+
+  febootstrap:
+
+   - FEBOOTSTRAP_KERNEL, FEBOOTSTRAP_MODULES environment variables can
+     be set in order to choose which kernel to use for the appliance.
+
+  virt-resize:
+
+   - The virt-resize --machine-readable flag makes it possible to use
+     virt-resize from other programs.
+
+   - Partitions are now aligned to 128 sectors (usually 64K) by
+     default.  This improves efficiency on high-end storage.
+
+  library:
+
+   - non-printing characters are escaped correctly in debug output.
+
+   - GUESTFS_EVENT_ENTER is a new event type generated whenever a
+     libguestfs function is called.
+
+   - the library contains systemtap/DTrace probes.
+
+  misc:
+
+   - ArchLinux support now working with Linux 3.0 (thanks Erik Nolte)
+
+Security
+
+New APIs
+
+  The mount API no longer implicitly adds -o sync,noatime options.
+
+  compress-out, compress-device-out, set-smp, get-smp
+
+Internals
+
+ - Coverity was run on the source and more bugs were identified and
+   fixed.
+
+ - PCRE library is now required to build libguestfs.
+
+ - APIC is now the default for the appliance.  You can also enable
+   SMP support in the appliance.
+
+ - OCaml bindings now correctly acquire GC lock during callbacks.
+
+ - Out of tree builds should now work correctly (thanks Hilko Bengen).
+
+ - ./configure --with-extra="..." can be used by packagers to set
+   the extra version string.
+
+ - zero, zero-device APIs: if the blocks already contain zeroes,
+   don't write zeroes, so that we don't unnecessarily make the
+   underlying storage non-sparse.
+
+ - is-zero, is-zero-device APIs: optimize these so zero detection is
+   faster.
+
+Bugs fixed
+
+            ./bugs-in-changelog.sh 1.12.0..
+
+ - 733297 ruby event handlers fail with "exception in callback: wrong argument type Proc (expected Data)"
+ - 731744 libguestfs should escape special/non-printing characters in debug output
+ - 729887 appliance crashes running aug_init with flags=4
+ - 729075 libguestfs confuses Hp_recovery partition with Windows root filesystem
+ - 727178 error: luks_open: cryptsetup: error while loading shared libraries: libfipscheck.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
+ - 726739 libguestfs: error: aug_get: no matching node, trying to find hostname
+ - 678231 virt-inspector reports unknown filesystem UUID
+ - 671082 libguestfs does not work with kernel-rt
+ - 666578 libguestfs: unknown filesystem label SWAP-sda2
+
