-version 0.30.208
+version 0.30.213
+================
+       - added support for the device mapping feature present in development
+       kernels.
+
+       - further improved Gentoo support, again thanks to Benedikt Böhm.
+
+       - support persistent contexts.
+
+       - add another initscript that creates directories, configures vshelper
+       as well as kills all contexts.
+
+       - new vserver-stat implementation, which uses the accounting APIs
+       available in Linux-VServer 2.2.
+
+       - added support for setting sysctl values in the guest configuration.
+
+       - added a clone build method, which simply links already unified files.
+
+       - implement dynamic contexts in userspace, generating a static one
+       during vserver ... build.
+
+       - fix the endless loop in vlogin.
+
+       - fix Ubuntu builds.
+
+       - improved support for Debian Etch, thanks to Benedikt Böhm.
+
+       - added CentOS 5.
+
+       - use the state change helper to try to cleanup after us if the guest
+       exited on its own.
+
+version 0.30.212
+================
+       - support for the Linux-VServer 2.1 API has been implemented.
+
+       - the scheduler configuration has been split up into multiple files.
+
+       - namespace cleanup is enabled by default. This can be disabled by
+       touch ${sysconfdir}/vservers/.defaults/nonamespace-cleanup
+
+       - all unset ulimits are now reset to infinity, so limits are no longer
+       inherited from the host.
+
+       - much improved Gentoo support, thanks to Benedikt Böhm.
+
+version 0.30.211
+================
+
+       - novlandev is now the default. To reenable the old behaviour of
+       creating VLAN interfaces where used, touch
+       ${sysconfdir}/vservers/.defaults/interfaces/vlandev.
+
+       - vshelper now works correctly with the kernel legacy support turned
+       off.
+
+       - vlogin provides a terminal proxy which allocates a new psuedo-tty
+       on the inside when you enter a guest.
+
+       - and lots of other features/fixes, see ChangeLog.
+
+
+version 0.30.210
+================
+
+       - LEGACY BREAKAGE: by default, only recent kernel APIs will be
+       supported so you have to make sure to use at least the vs2.0.1
+       kernel patch. With older kernels, you have to call 'configure'
+       with '--enable-apis=NOLEGACY'. Some programs will not work anymore
+       with the default settings; these ones are:
+
+            + capchroot
+            * chcontext-context
+            * reducecap
+
+       - dlimit support was integrated into the standard vserver
+       operations. Thanks to Daniel Hokka Zakrisson for his patch.
+
+       - recent kernel API is now used for setting up the network
+       contexts. So it should be now possible to use a kernel compiled
+       without CONFIG_VSERVER_LEGACYNET. Thanks to Daniel Hokka Zakrisson
+       for his patch.  .
