 * Noteworthy changes in release ?.? (????-??-??) [?]
 
+** New features
+
+  parted has improved support for partitionable loopback devices
+
 ** Bug fixes
 
+  libparted: gpt_disk_duplicate now copies the flags over to the new
+  disk object. Previously the flags would be undefined.
+
+  libparted: no longer aborts (failed assertion) due to a nilfs2_probe bug
+  [bug introduced in parted-2.4 with the addition of nilfs2 support]
+
+  libparted: no longer aborts when reading a truncated GPT-formatted device
+  [bug present at least as far back as RHEL4's parted-1.6.19]
+
   libparted: works with a two-component linux kernel version number like 3.0
+  [bug present since the beginning]
+
+  libparted: strengthen the pc98 test so that it is much less likely to
+  cause an MSDOS partition table to be mistakenly identified as pc98.
+  [bug present since the beginning]
+
+** Changes in behavior
 
+  parted: mkpart command has changed semantics with regard to specifying end
+  of the partition. If the end is specified using MiB, GiB, etc. unit, parted
+  subtracts one sector from the specified value. With this change, it is now
+  possible to create partitions like 1MiB-2MiB, 2MiB-3MiB and so on.
 
 * Noteworthy changes in release 3.0 (2011-05-30) [stable]
