+Version 2.12.0 beta1
+--------------------
+
+*(Released Mon, 21 Jul 2014)*
+
+Incompatible/important changes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- Do not use debug mode in production. Certain daemons will issue warnings
+ when launched in debug mode. Some debug logging violates some of the new
+ invariants in the system (see "New features"). The logging has been kept as
+ it aids diagnostics and development.
+
+New features
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- OS install script parameters now come in public, private and secret
+ varieties:
+
+ - Public parameters are like all other parameters in Ganeti.
+ - Ganeti will not log private and secret parameters, *unless* it is running
+ in debug mode.
+ - Ganeti will not save secret parameters to configuration. Secret parameters
+ must be supplied every time you install, or reinstall, an instance.
+ - Attempting to override public parameters with private or secret parameters
+ results in an error. Similarly, you may not use secret parameters to
+ override private parameters.
+
+- The move-instance tool can now attempt to allocate an instance by using
+ opportunistic locking when an iallocator is used.
+- The build system creates sample systemd unit files, available under
+ doc/examples/systemd. These unit files allow systemd to natively
+ manage and supervise all Ganeti processes.
+- Different types of compression can be applied during instance moves,
including
+ user-specified ones.
+- Ganeti jobs now run as separate processes. The jobs are coordinated by
+ a new daemon "WConfd" that manages cluster's configuration and locks
+ for individual jobs. A consequence is that more jobs can run in parallel;
+ the number is run-time configurable, see "New features" entry
+ of 2.11.0. To avoid luxid being overloaded with tracking running jobs, it
+ backs of and only occasionally, in a sequential way, checks if jobs have
+ finished and schedules new ones. In this way, luxid keeps responsive under
+ high cluster load. The limit as when to start backing of is also run-time
+ configurable.
+- The metadata daemon is now optionally available, as part of the
+ partial implementation of the OS-installs design. It allows pass
+ information to OS install scripts or to instances.
+ It is also possible to run Ganeti without the daemon, if desired.
+
+New dependencies
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- The KVM CPU pinning no longer uses the affinity python package, but psutil
+ instead. The package is still optional and needed only if the feature is to
+ be used.
+
+Known issues
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The following issues are known to be present in the beta and will be fixed
+before rc1:
+
+- Issue 881: Handle communication errors in mcpu
+- Issue 883: WConfd leaks memory for some long operations
+- Issue 884: Under heavy load the IAllocator fails with a "missing
+ instance" error
+- Issue 885: Network hotplugging on KVM sometimes makes an instance
+ inresponsive
+
+
