+kmod 27
+=======
+
+- Improvements
+       - Link to libcrypto rather than requiring openssl
+
+       - Print a better error message when kernel doesn't support module unload
+
+       - Use PKCS#7 instead of CMS for parsing module signature to be
+         compatible with LibreSSL and OpenSSL < 1.1.0
+
+       - Teach modinfo to parse modules.builtin.modinfo. When using Linux kernel
+         >= v5.2-rc1 it's possible to get module information from this new file. Now
+         modinfo is able to show it instead of an error message that the module is
+         built-in:
+
+         Before:
+         $ modinfo ext4
+         modinfo: ERROR: Module ext4 not found.
+
+         After:
+         $ modinfo ext4
+         name:           ext4
+         filename:       (builtin)
+         softdep:        pre: crc32c
+         license:        GPL

+         alias:          fs-ext4
+         alias:          ext3
+         alias:          fs-ext3
+         alias:          ext2
+         alias:          fs-ext2
+
+- Bug fixes
+       - Do not link python bindings with libpython to be compatible with
+         python3.8
+
+       - Fix module removal with `modprobe -r` when a dependency is built-in.
+         Now it properly ignores them and proceed with removal of other
+         dependencies
+
+       - Fix propagation of return code from install/remove commands to the
+         the probe function. The return values of kmod_module_probe_insert_module()
+         have very specific meanings, do not confuse the caller by return codes
+         from system()
+
+       - Fix softdep config parsing leading to buffer overflow
