+0.6:
+
+* config
+- use config and additional files from live->{settings}{config_root},
+  defaulting to current directory, or to /etc/draklive if no config file
+  is present in current directory
+- allow to configure files root directory with --config-root
+- use /var/lib/draklive/build as default build dir and
+  /var/lib/draklive/chroot as default chroot dir
+
+* bootloader
+- improve gfxboot support by copying files from both Mandriva and
+  system-chosen theme
+- install gfxboot files in /isolinux on CD image
+- gfxboot support for grub
+- drop unused F1 binding when gfxboot is used
+- use livecd mode in gfxboot (thanks Pixel \o/)
+- copy gfxmenu instead of moving it (#31879)
+- enable gfxboot only if live->{system}{gfxboot} is set
+- remove extra media support
+- remove optional media support
+- allow to specify bootloader timeout in
+  live->{media}{bootloader_timeout}
+
+* initrd
+- rename debug command line option as initrd_debug not to conflict
+  with kernel option
+- handle module names with underscores, using new module dependencies
+  functions from list_modules (such as modname2path)
+- add and use probe-modules helper from stage1 to load modules
+- drop useless ide-generic hack, probe-modules will load it as
+  fallback only
+- drop usb-storage hack, done by probe-modules
+- do not explicitely load storage module in linuxrc
+  (done by probe-modules helper)
+- add modules.dep, modules.description, modules.alias, ldetect-lst
+  tables, pci.ids and fallback-modules.alias for probe-modules
+- add .ko.gz symlinks to .ko files (used by probe-modules, gzopen
+  transparently opens uncompressed files)
+- load dependencies of extra modules only
+- install modules in /modules instead of /lib in initrd
+- add partition "loop" type to be able to mount partitions in initrd
+- create empty fstab and mtab for fsck programs not to complain
+- run fsck when mounting ext2 partition
+- move mount actions in a storage_fs hash
+- be less verbose when compressing modules
+- be less verbose when printing skipped modules
+- allow to exclude modules from initrd in
+  live->{system}{exclude_modules}
+- use busybox's mkdir since nash's "mkdir -p" does not have the
+  standard behavior
+- pre-create devfsd compatibility loop devices (since busybox is still
+  built with devfsd support)
+- pre-create more loop devices
+- allow to specify module options in live->{system}{module_options}
+- allow to delay mount of specific loopbacks
+- do not add disk/raw category for cdrom media
+- allow to specify ro unionfs branches
+- fix unionfs branches list by removing trailing colon (for unionfs2)
+- don't check symlinks when looking for kernels
+  (fix matching vmlinuz-tmb-desktop586)
+- run mkdevices to create nodes for existing devices
+- move modules mount point in new root
+- do not mess / tree if no live modules are used
+- allow to copy per-fs files in initrd
+- copy additional modules after plain modules, so that they can overwrite them
+- do not uppercase label anymore for vfat partitions, nash with vol_id
+  seems to handle it fine
+
+* chroot
+- be less verbose when running patch dry runs
+- don't hardcode list of files to be removed in chroot, they must be
+  listed in live->{system}{remove_files} now (dbus/modprobe/udev files
+  for example)
+- allow to use real glob patterns in live->{system}{remove_files}
+- copy resolv.conf in chroot for urpmi to work (and clean it at end of
+  post-install)
+- do not run service_harddrake stop anymore, it does not exist in 2008.0
+- run postInstall after copying packages
+
+* loopbacks
+- allow to create loopback modules from live->{loopbacks}{modules}
+  (to be used for separate i18n loopbacks)
+- allow to include loopback modules in master images by defining
+  modules sets in live->{packs} and selecting them from live->{settings}{pack}
+- write a loopbacks/excluded.tar.bz2 tarball containing files that
+  have been excluded from other loopbacks
+- write excluded.tar.bz2 in /tarballs, so that it does not get
+  included in final ISO image
+- remove multi squash union, better replaced with modules
+- add "modules" source type, and use it for squash_union and
+  volatile_squash_union mounts (which are now custom mounts)
+- allow to exclude files in loopbacks with live->{system}{exclude_files}
+- pass -no-progress option to mksquashfs, draklive handles its own
+  progress bar
+- fix division by zero in progress code /o\
+
+* master
+- drop some genisoimage verbosity
+- do not allow to create USB master, it is not correctly implemented yet
+- name images after live name instead of live.iso/live.img
+- compute md5sum and sha1sum for ISO images
+  (in addition to the mkcd checksum)
+- do not copy extra media files in boot images
+- fix extra files selection in cdrom master
+- compute media dirs on the fly instead of hardcoding at start
+  (to support CD-Rom boot images with non-hidden media directories)
+
+* record
+- make device option used for boot-only as well
+- do not set label if boot-only
+- use bootloader setting from optional media if specified
+- umount usb device if loopback copy fails
+- unlink list file if loopbacks copy fails as well
+- mark as read-only boot and loopbacks on vfat USB media
+- mark as hidden files beginning with a dot, autorun files, boot and
+  loopbacks read-only on vfat USB media
+- only run mattrib for vfat
+- run mattrib with MTOOLS_SKIP_CHECK (like mlabel)
+
+* misc
+- print usage if no option is specified
+- log files copy
+- add newlines in die messages, not to trigger the infamous drakbug
+- make warn messages less verbose
+- use live->{settings}{name/product/media/desktop/region} in
+  build/chroot names
+- write a packages.lst file containing the installed packages list
+- add a glob wrapper with dotglob behavior, and expand only if needed
+- custom NFS is now in custom{fs} instead of custom{mounts}
+- reorder init so that arch is set before calling get_builddir and
+  get_system_root (#35105)
+- chomp arch returned by rpm to fix directory names when arch is not
+  in settings.cfg (#35105)
