-libabc 3
-========
-Add functionality. Export symbols for 'thing'.
+kmod 7
+======
-libabc 2
-========
-Add support for 'thing'.
+- 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
-libabc 1
-========
-Initial release.
+- Fix setting CFLAGS/LDFLAGS in build system. This prevents us from not
+ allowing user to set his preference
+
+- 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
+
+kmod 4
+======
+
+- New APIs in libkmod to:
+ - Get configuration lists: blacklists, install commands, remove
+ commands, aliases, options and softdeps
+ - Dump indexes
+
+- Several bugs fixed in libkmod, modprobe, depmod and modinfo
+
+- API documentation: if configure with run with --enable-gtk-doc, the API doc
+ will be generated by make. Gtk-doc is required for that.
+
+- Man pages are built, which replace man pages from module-init-tools
+
+- 'include' and 'config' options in *.conf files were deprecated
+
+- configure is not run by autogen.sh. Instead, a common set of options is
+ printed. If you are hacking on kmod, consider using bootstrap-configure
+ script.
+
+- 'modprobe -c' works as expected now. As opposed to module-init-tools, it
+ dumps the parsed configuration, not only the file contents.
+
+kmod 3
+======
+
+- New APIs in libkmod to:
+ - Get symbols from module, parsing the ELF section
+ - Get dependency symbols
+ - Check if resources are still valid or if libkmod must be reloaded
+ - Insert module like modprobe, checking (soft-)dependencies, commands,
+ blacklist. It can run commands by itself and to call a callback
+ function.
+
+- Support to load modules compressed with xz
+
+- Tools are now bundled together in a single tool called kmod. It can be
+ called using symlinks with the same names as tools from module-init-tools.
+ E.g: /usr/bin/lsmod -> /usr/bin/kmod. With this we are aiming to complete a
+ 1:1 replacement of module-init-tools.
+
+- The only missing tool, depmod, was added to kmod together with the necessary
+ APIs in libkmod.
+
+- If a program using libkmod runs for a long time, as for example udev, it must
+ check if it doesn't have to re-load libkmod. A new helper function was added
+ in libkmod to check if context is still valid and udev is already using it.
+
+- An 'unaligned access' bug was fixed. So those architecture that does not
+ handle unaligned access can use kmod, too.
+
+kmod 2
+======
+
+Some bugs fixed: the worst of them was with an infinite loop when an alias
+matched more than one module.
+
+- New APIs in libkmod to:
+ - Get soft dependencies
+ - Get info from module files parsing ELF
+ - Get modversions from files parsing ELF
+
+- Support to load gzipped kernel modules: kmod can be compiled with support to
+ gzipped modules by giving the --enable-zlib flag
+
+- Support to forcefully load modules, both vermagic and modversion
+
+- Support to force and nowait removal flags
+
+- Configuration files are parsed in the same order as modprobe: files are
+ sorted alphabetically (independently of their dir) and files with the same
+ name obey a precedence order
+
+- New tool: kmod-modinfo
+
+- kmod-modprobe gained several features to be a 1:1 replacement for modprobe.
+ The only missing things are the options '--showconfig' and '-t / -l'. These
+ last ones have been deprecated long ago and they will be removed from
+ modprobe. A lot of effort has been put on kmod-modprobe to ensure it
+ maintains compabitility with modprobe.
+
+- linux-modules@vger.kernel.org became the official mailing list for kmod
+
+kmod 1
+======
+
+First version of kmod and its library, libkmod.
+
+In the libkmod it's currently possible to:
+ - List modules currently loaded
+ - Get information about loaded modules such as initstate, refcount,
+ holders, sections, address and size
+ - Lookup modules by alias, module name or path
+ - Insert modules: options from configuration and extra options can be
+ passed, but flags are not implemented, yet
+ - Remove modules
+ - Filter list of modules using blacklist
+ - For each module, get the its list of options and install/remove
+ commands
+ - Indexes can be loaded on startup to speedup lookups later
+
+Tools provided with the same set of options as in module-init-tools:
+ - kmod-lsmod
+ - kmod-insmod
+ - kmod-rmmod
+ - kmod-modprobe, with some functionality still missing (use of softdep,
+ dump configuration, show modversions)
