+kmod 11
+=======
+
+- Improvements to testsuite:
+ - Fix testsuite defining symbols twice on 32 bit systems
+ - Allow to check generated files against correct ones
+
+- New features:
+ - libkmod now keeps a file opened after the first call to
+ kmod_module_get_{info,versions,symbols,dependency_symbols}. This
+ reduces signficantly the amount of time depmod tool takes to
+ execute. Particularly if compressed modules are used.
+ - Remove --with-rootprefix from build system. It was not a great idea
+ after all and should not be use since it causes more harm then
+ benefits.
+ - Hide --wait option on rmmod. This feature is being targeted for
+ removal from kernel. rmmod still accepts this option, but it's hidden
+ now: man page and usage() says nothing about it and if it's used,
+ user will get a 10s sleep. This way we can check and help if anyone
+ is using this feature.
+ - Refactor message logging on all tools, giving proper prefix, routing
+ everything to syslog when asked for, etc.
+
+- Bug fixes:
+ - Fix parsing of modules.order when using compressed modules
+ - Usage messages go to stdout instead of stderr
+ - Fix memory leak in hash implementation
+
+kmod 10
+=======
+
+- New features:
+ - Read coresize from /sys if supported
+
+ - Add flag to kmod_module_probe_insert() to apply blacklisting during
+ probe only if mod is an alias. Now modprobe uses this flag by default.
+ This is needed to fix a change in behavior regarding module-init-tools
+ and ultimately makes us loading a blacklisted module.
+
+- Better formatting in man pages
+
+- Add option to disable building man pages at build time
+
+- Fixes in the testsuite and refactoring of LDPRELOAD'ed libraries
+
+- Re-licensing testsuite as LGPL
+
+kmod 9
+======
+
+- Improvements to the testsuite:
+ - Check for correct handling of softdep loops
+ - Check for correct handling of install command loops
+
+- Bug fixes:
+ - Fix build with compilers that don't support --gc-sections
+ - Handle errors when dealing with gzipped modules
+ - depmod now handles errors while writing indices, so it doesn't end up
+ with a corrupted index without telling the user
+
+kmod 8
+======
+
+- No new features, small bug fixes only.
+ - Fix a bug in "modprobe -c" output: be compatible with
+ module-init-tools
+
+ - Give a useful error message when init_module fails due to bad
+ parameter or unknown symbols
+
+ - Fix doc generation
+
+kmod 7
+======
+
+- Re-order dirs for configuration files to match the change in systemd and
+ udev: now the priority is:
+ 1. /etc/modprobe.d
+ 2. /run/modprobe.d
+ 3. /lib/modprobe.d
+
+- Fix setting CFLAGS/LDFLAGS in build system. This prevented us from not
+ allowing the user to set his preferences.
+
+- Bug fixes:
+ - Return same error codes of module-init-tools when removing modules
+ with modprobe
+ - Fix builtin output in "--show-depends" when target kernel is not the
+ same of the running kernel
+ - 'modprobe -r' always look at all command line arguments
+ - Fix '-q' usage in modprobe
+
+kmod 6
+======
+
+- New API in libkmod:
+ - kmod_module_apply_filter(): a generic function to apply filters in a
+ list of modules. This deprecates the use of
+ kmod_module_get_filtered_blacklist()
+
+- More tests in testsuite
+
+- Add compatibility with uClibc again
+
+- Lookup modules.builtin.bin to decide if a module is built in kernel
+
+- Downgrade some log messages so we don't annoy people with useless messages
+
+- Bug fixes:
+ - Flag --ignore-loaded was not being properly handled
+ - Infinite loop with softdeps
+ - Infinite loop with dumb user configuration with install commands
+ - Fix leak in index when there's a partial match
+
+- Move repository and tarballs to kernel.org
+
+kmod 5
+======
+
+- Break libkmod's API to insert a module like modprobe does. It now accepts
+ extra an extra argument to print its action and acceptable flags were
+ sanitized.
+
+- Share more code between modprobe and libkmod: using the new version of
+ kmod_module_probe_insert_module() it's possible to share a great amount of
+ code between modprobe and libkmod
+
+- modprobe no longer works with paths: it only accepts module names and/or
+ aliases now.
+
+- testsuite was added to repository, allowing automated tests to be run and
+ easing the way bugs are reproduced.
+
+- modprobe: when dumping configuration ('-c' option) separate config
+ and indexes by adding a commented line between them.
+
+- Fix bugs wrt normalizing aliases and module names
+
+- Fix bug wrt inserting an alias that resolves to multiple modules: we should
+ not stop on the first error, but rather continue to try loading other
+ modules.
+
+- Fix unaligned memory access in hash function, causing depmod to output wrong
+ information in ARMv5
+
+- Fix man page build and install: now they are only installed if tools are
+ enabled
+
