+kmod 20
+=======
+- Bug fixes:
+       - Handle bogus values from ELF, making sure they don't overflow while
+         parsing the file
+       - Fix leak in depmod when -b flag is passed multiple times
+       - Multiple minor fixes from static analysis by coverity and
+         clang-analyze
+       - Fix race between loading modules and checking if it's loaded in the
+         kernel
+
+- New features:
+       - There's a change in behavior regarding builtin modules: we now only
+         consider as builtin those that are present in modules.builtin index.
+         Previously we were also checking the presence of
+         /sys/module/<module-name>, but this is racy and only modules that
+         contain parameters are the ones creating a directory in sysfs.
+
+         Now some commands will start to fail, e.g. "modprobe vt". Since vt
+         can't be compiled as a module it's not present in modules.builtin
+         index. Previously we would report at as builtin, but now we fail
+         because we couldn't find the module.
+
+- Improvements:
+       - Integration of gcov into the build. Currently libkmod is at ~70%
+         covered and tools at ~50% by tests in the testsuite. Utility
+         functions and structures in shared have more than 90% of coverage.
+       - Upload build to coverity
+
+- Improvements to testsuite:
+       - Fix parsing return codes of init_module() calls
+       - Add tests for utility functions in shared/
+       - Add tests for kmod_module_remove_module()
+       - Add playground, in which our own modules are compiled
+       - Port all tests to use modules from module-playground instead of
+         copying prebuilt modules to the repository
+       - Properly handle binaries that exit with no output
+       - Besides comparing the output of commands, allow to copy to
+         stdout/stderr
