+dracut-045
+==========
+
+Important: dracut now requires libkmod for the dracut-install binary helper,
+ which nows handles kernel module installing and filtering.
+
+dracut.sh:
+- restorecon final image file
+- fail hard, if we find modules and modules.dep is missing
+- support --tmpdir as a relative path
+- add default path for --uefi
+
+dracut-functions.sh:
+- fix check_vol_slaves() volume group name stripping
+
+dracut-install:
+- catch ldd message "cannot execute binary file"
+- added kernel module handling with libkmod
+ Added parameters:
+ --module,-m
+ --mod-filter-path, -p
+ --mod-filter-nopath, -P
+ --mod-filter-symbol, -s
+ --mod-filter-nosymbol, -S
+ --mod-filter-noname, -N
+ --silent
+ --kerneldir
+ --firmwaredirs
+- fallback to non-hostonly mode if lsmod fails
+
+lsinitrd:
+- new option "--unpack"
+- new option "--unpackearly"
+- and "--verbose"
+
+general initramfs fixes:
+- don't remove 99-cmdline-ask on 'hostonly' cleanup
+- call dracut-cmdline-ask.service, if /etc/cmdline.d/*.conf exists
+- break at switch_root only for bare rd.break
+- add rd.emergency=[reboot|poweroff|halt]
+ specifies what action to execute in case of a critical failure
+- rd.memdebug=4 gives information, about kernel module memory consumption
+ during loading
+
+dmsquash-live:
+- fixed livenet-generator execution flag
+ and include only, if systemd is used
+- fixed dmsquash-live-root.sh for cases where the fstype of the liveimage is squashfs
+- fixed typo for rootfs.img
+- enable the use of the OverlayFS for the LiveOS root filesystem
+ Patch notes:
+ Integrate the option to use an OverlayFS as the root filesystem
+ into the 90dmsquash-live module for testing purposes.
+
+ The rd.live.overlay.overlayfs option allows one to request an
+ OverlayFS overlay. If a persistent overlay is detected at the
+ standard LiveOS path, the overlay & type detected will be used.
+
+ Tested primarily with transient, in-RAM overlay boots on vfat-
+ formatted Live USB devices, with persistent overlay directories
+ on ext4-formatted Live USB devices, and with embedded, persistent
+ overlay directories on vfat-formatted devices. (Persistent overlay
+ directories on a vfat-formatted device must be in an embedded
+ filesystem that supports the creation of trusted.* extended
+ attributes, and must provide valid d_type in readdir responses.)
+
+ The rd.live.overlay.readonly option, which allows a persistent
+ overlayfs to be mounted read only through a higher level transient
+ overlay directory, has been implemented through the multiple lower
+ layers feature of OverlayFS.
+
+ The default transient DM overlay size has been adjusted up to 32 GiB.
+ This change supports comparison of transient Device-mapper vs.
+ transient OverlayFS overlay performance. A transient DM overlay
+ is a sparse file in memory, so this setting does not consume more
+ RAM for legacy applications. It does permit a user to use all of
+ the available root filesystem storage, and fails gently when it is
+ consumed, as the available free root filesystem storage on a typical
+ LiveOS build is only a few GiB. Thus, when booted on other-
+ than-small RAM systems, the transient DM overlay should not overflow.
+
+ OverlayFS offers the potential to use all of the available free RAM
+ or all of the available free disc storage (on non-vfat-devices)
+ in its overlay, even beyond the root filesystem available space,
+ because the OverlayFS root filesystem is a union of directories on
+ two different partitions.
+
+ This patch also cleans up some message spew at shutdown, shortens
+ the execution path in a couple of places, and uses persistent
+ DM targets where required.
+
+dmraid:
+- added "nowatch" option in udev rule, otherwise udev would reread partitions for raid members
+- allow booting from degraded MD RAID arrays
+
+shutdown:
+- handle readonly /run on shutdown
+
+kernel-modules:
+- add all HID drivers, regardless of hostonly mode

+
+multipath:
+- multipath.conf included in hostonly mode
+- install all multipath path selector kernel modules
+
+iSCSI:
+- use the iBFT initiator name, if found and set
+- iscsid now present in the initramfs
+- iscsistart is done with systemd-run asynchrone to do things in
+ paralllel. Also restarted for every new interface which shows up.
+- If rd.iscsi.waitnet (default) is set, iscsistart is done only
+ after all interfaces are up.
+- If not all interfaces are up and rd.iscsi.testroute (default) is set,
+ the route to a iscsi target IP is checked and skipped, if there is none.
+- If all things fail, we issue a "dummy" interface iscsiroot to retry
+ everything in the initqueue/timeout.

+dracut-043
+==========
+- add missing dmsquash-generator
+
+dracut-042
+==========
+- fixed dmsetup shutdown
+- new kernel command line option "rd.live.overlay.thin"
+ This option changes the underlying mechanism for the overlay in the
+ dmsquash module.
+ Instead of a plain dm snapshot a dm thin snapshot is used. The advantage
+ of the thin snapshot is, that the TRIM command is recognized, which
+ means that at runtime, only the occupied blocks will be claimed from
+ memory, and freed blocks will really be freed in ram.
+- dmsquash: Add squashfs support to rd.live.fsimg
+ Previously rd.live.fsimg only supported filesystems residing in
+ (compressed) archives.
+ Now rd.live.fsimg can also be used when a squashfs image is used.
+ This is achieved by extracting the rootfs image from the squashfs and
+ then continue with the default routines for rd.live.fsimg.
+- lvm: add support for LVM system id
+- split up the systemd dracut module
+ Basic systemd functionality is in 00systemd now.
+ Switching root and the initrd.target is in 00systemd-initrd.
+ Dracut additions to the systemd initrd are in 98dracut-systemd.
+- support for creating a UEFI boot executable via argument "--uefi"
+ With an EFI stub, the kernel, the initramfs and a kernel cmdline can be
+ glued together to a single UEFI executable, which can be booted by a
+ UEFI BIOS.
+- network: split out kernel-network-modules, now in 90kernel-network-modules
+- support for ethernet point-to-point connections configured via DHCP
+- kernel-modules: install all HID drivers
+- dracut.pc pkg-config file
+- mount /dev, /dev/shm and /run noexec
+

+- $initrd/etc/cmdline.d/ hostonly files are now generated for NFS
+- make use of systemd-hibernate-resume, if available

+dracut-039
+==========
+- DRACUT_PATH can now be used to specify the PATH used by dracut

+ /usr/lib/dracut/dracut.conf.d/01-dist.conf
+- add "--loginstall <DIR>" and loginstall="<DIR>" options
+ to record all files, which are installed from the host fs
+- "rd.writable.fsimg" - support for read/write filesystem images
+- "rd.route" kernel command line parameter added
+- "--install-optional" and install_optional_items added

+
+dracut-038
+==========
+- "rd.cmdline=ask" will ask the user on the console to enter additional
+ kernel command line parameters
+- "rd.hostonly=0" removes all "hostonly" added custom files,
+ which is useful in combination with "rd.auto" or other specific parameters,
+ if you want to boot on the same hardware, but the compiled in configuration
+ does not match your setup anymore
+- inst* functions and dracut-install now accept the "-H" flag, which logs all
+ installed files to /lib/dracut/hostonly-files. This is used to remove those
+ files, if rd.hostonly is given on the kernel command line
