+kmod 26
+=======
+
+- Improvements
+       - Add more error-checking in library functions and remove warnings on newer
+         toolchains
+
+       - Depmod now handles parallel invoctions better by protecting the temporary
+         files being used
+
+       - Improvements to testsuite and added tests to check the our behavior
+         regardless of the features enabled in the kernel, or libraries we link to
+
+       - Teach the --show-exports option to modprobe. This works similarly to
+         --show-modversions, but it reports the exported symbols from that module.
+         Under the hood this reads the .symtab and .strtab section rather than
+         __versions so it shows useful data even if kernel is configured without
+         modversions (CONFIG_MODVERSIONS)
+
+       - Teach pkcs7 parsing to modinfo by using openssl. This allows modinfo to
+         correctly parse the signature appended to a module by the kernel build
+         system when configured with CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_ALL, or when externally
+         signed by the distro. Traditionally modules were signed and a struct
+         was appended together with the signature to the end of the module.
+         This has changed on the kernel for pkcs#7 and now the structure isn't
+         filled out with useful information.  So we have to parse the signature
+         block in order to return useful data to the user.
+
+         If kmod is linked with openssl we parse the signature and return the
+         fields as we do for other signatures. An example of the relevant part
+         on the output of modinfo is below:
+
+         Before:
+                 sig_id:         PKCS#7
+                 signer:
+                 sig_key:
+                 sig_hashalgo:   md4
+         After:
+                 sig_id:         PKCS#7
+                 signer:         Fedora kernel signing key
+                 sig_key:        51:C4:0C:6D:7E:A5:6C:D8:8F:B4:3A:DF:91:78:4F:18:BC:D5:E4:C5
+                 sig_hashalgo:   sha256
+
+         If kmod is not linked to openssl we just start printing "unknonwn" in the
+         sig_hashalgo field rather than the bogus value.
+
+
