> Hi guys,
>
> Another Sprint finishes, which means we get a new avocado release! This
> time we have some sweet new features for you:
>
> * Avocado is now compatible with python 2.6 and distros that ship 2.6 as
> their default runtime, such as RHEL 6 and CentOS 6. Our CI environment
> was updated to test under 2.6 and 2.7 targets
> * Avocado rest client application (lets you talk to the avocado server
> application)
> * A new option was added to disable colored output in the config file,
> runner.output.colored
> * A new option was added to add commands that will profile new test job
> runs, sysinfo.collect.profiler_commands
> * The documentation was updated with GDB instrumentation examples
> (besides the normal docs update on new features/patchsets)
>
> * API Change: avocado.utils.io -> avocado.utils.genio
> * API Change: avocado.utils.process.find_command ->
> avocado.utils.path.find_command
> * API Change: avocado.utils.process.CmdNotFoundError ->
> avocado.utils.path.CmdNotFoundError
>
> * BUGFIX: remote machine could get stuck waiting on human input on
> paginator
> * BUGFIX: Avocado crashes on certain test defined exceptions
> * BUGFIX: Internal HTML report links when using remote/vm plugins
> * BUGFIX: Job directory generated even when 'avocado run' had option
> validation errors
> * BUGFIX: When installing avocado as an RPM, some example tests stop
> working
> * BUGFIX: Avocado crashes if a remote test is missing
>
> The complete list with the 130 commits can be seen here:

> https://github.com/avocado-framework/avocado/compare/0.20.1...0.21.0
>
> We're pondering ways to improve our Changelog process, and I hope this
> is a good start (still figuring out a good long term storage of
> changelog texts).
>
> Happy testing!

How about a file in Documentation? Chapters for major releases, sections 
for minor ones...

Additionally an introduction to each Chapter describing porting tests 
from older major version to the new major version.
