+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
