+[74] - 2023-12-21
+=================
+
+Added
+-----
+
+- Add bcachefs-tools to releng for access to bcachefs userspace tools.
+- Add tftp as a valid protocol for downloading automated boot script.
+
+Changed
+-------
+
+- Set ``RequiredForOnline=routable`` in systemd-networkd configuration files to improve the chances that the network
+ really is *online* when ``network-online.target`` is reached.
+
+Fixed
+-----
+
+- Add missing replacement for the UUID variable in systemd-boot configuration files on ISO 9660.
+
+[73] - 2023-09-29
+=================
+
+Added
+-----
+
+- Add bolt to releng for authorizing and otherwise managing Thunderbolt and USB4 devices.
+- Add ``uefi-ia32.systemd-boot.esp`` and ``uefi-ia32.systemd-boot.eltorito`` boot modes that use systemd-boot for IA32
+ UEFI. The boot modes of baseline and releng are not changed.
+- Add GRUB configuration file ``/boot/grub/loopback.cfg`` to the releng and baseline profiles. It sets the necessary
+ boot parameters required for booting the ISO image as a file on a file system.
+
+Fixed
+-----
+
+- Add ``/etc/localtime`` to the baseline profile to ensure the ISO can be booted successfully without triggering
+ questions from systemd-firstboot.
+
+[72] - 2023-08-29
+=================
+
+Added
+-----
+
+- Add tpm2-tools to releng to allow clearing, creating and reading keys on the TPM.
+- Add sequoia-sq and openpgp-card-tools as additional tooling for working with OpenPGP certificates and smartcards.
+
+Changed
+-------
+
+- Moved custom ``mkinitcpio.conf`` files to ``/etc/mkinitcpio.conf.d/parabolaiso.conf``.
+- Mount ``/etc/pacman.d/gnupg`` on tmpfs with option ``noswap`` instead of using ramfs. This ensures there is a limit to
+ the file system size.
+- Enable systemd-networkd's support for IPv6 Privacy Extensions globally instead of per-connection.
+- Moved custom ``sshd_config`` files to ``/ssh/sshd_config.d/10-parabolaiso.conf``
+- Use pcsclite for interfacing with smartcards, since both gnupg and opgpcard support it.
+
+Fixed
+-----
+
+- Sign the root file system image only once.
+- Make sure xorriso does not read its configuration files to prevent interference and unintended behavior.
+
+[71] - 2023-05-28
+=================
+
+Added
+-----
+
+- Added classes for Memtest86+ and UEFI Shell menuentries.
+- Add foot-terminfo and wezterm-terminfo packages to releng to support terminal emulators using them. E.g. when
+ installing via SSH.
+- Add a new ``-r`` option to ``mkparabolaiso`` that deletes the working directly after the build.
+- Add support for mDNS announce and resolve.
+
+Changed
+-------
+
+- Increase EROFS compression for the baseline profile by using an extreme LZMA compression level and enabling the
+ experimental compressed fragments and data deduplication features.
+- Identify the ISO volume via a UUID instead of a file system label in all boot loader configuration files.
+- Update ``pacman.conf`` to match the one shipped with pacman 6.0.2-7 (from Arch) which removes the community repository.
+
+Fixed
+-----
+
+- Wait for ``network-online.target`` to become active before trying to download the script passed via the ``script=``
+ boot parameter.
+- Subdirectories from ``grub/`` are copied to the ISO.
+- Modify the commandline options to a ``cp`` command in ``mkparabolaiso`` so that the entire script does not exit with
+ failure when a custom ``.bashrc`` file is supplied with the parabolaiso configuration. This fix was needed after
+ **GNU Coreutils** recently changed the behaviour of the ``-n`` (or ``--no-clobber``) commandline option to the ``cp``
+ command.
+- Ensure ``SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH`` is read from the ``build_date`` file before ``profiledef.sh`` is sourced to ensure the
+ variable has a correct value when used inside ``profiledef.sh``.
+
+
+[70] - 2023-02-27
+=================
+
+Added
+-----
+
+- Support *file system transposition* to simplify boot medium preparation for UEFI boot via extracting the ISO image
+ contents to a drive. ``grub.cfg`` does not hardcode the ISO volume label anymore, instead GRUB will search for volume
+ with a ``/boot/grub/YYYY-mm-dd-HH-MM-SS-00.uuid`` file on it.
+- Preload GRUB's NTFS modules for UEFI that allegedly have native NTFS support. GRUB's exFAT and UDF modules are also
+ preloaded in case someone finds them useful.
+
+Changed
+-------
+
+- Identify the ISO volume via a UUID instead of a file system label to avoid collisions of multiple ISOs created in the
+ same month.
+- Honor ``SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH`` in the ``date`` command used by ``profiledef.sh`` of the shipped profiles.
+- Do not duplicate ``grub.cfg`` in both ISO 9660 and the EFI system partition / El Torito image. GRUB will search for
+ the ISO volume and load the ``grub.cfg`` from there.
+- Moved GRUB files on ISO 9660 from ``/EFI/BOOT/`` to a boot-platform neutral place ``/boot/grub/``. This does not apply
+ to the EFI binaries that remain in the default/fallback boot path.
+- Move ``grubenv`` to ``/boot/grub/grubenv`` on ISO 9660 so that it is together with the rest of GRUB-specific files.
+ Additionally write more variables in it. The previous ``/${install_dir}/grubenv`` (``/parabola/grubenv`` for releng)
+ is deprecated and a future parabolaiso release will not create this file anymore.
+- Moved syslinux directory from ``/syslinux/`` to ``/boot/syslinux/`` to keep most boot loader files in ``/boot/``.
+- Update ``README.transfer`` documentation and convert it to reStructuredText.
+- Use ``console`` as grub's ``terminal_output``, as ``gfxterm`` leads to a blank screen on some hardware.
+
+Removed
+-------
+
+- Do not place memtest86+ in netboot artifacts.
+
+[69] - 2022-12-24
+=================
+
+Added
+-----
+
+- Add Memtest86+ to x86_64 UEFI GRUB boot menu.
+
+Changed
+-------
+
+- Check if the GPG public key file was successfully placed in the work directory before trying to use it.
+- Open the file descriptors for code signing certificates and GPG public key as read only. Nothing from the within the
+ ``pacstrap`` invoked chroot should ever be allowed to write outside of it.
+- Error out early if any of the code signing certificate files passed with option ``-c`` do not exist.
+- Use LZMA compressed EROFS image for the baseline profile. Now that xz 5.4 is out and erofs-utils is built with LZMA
+ support, using a higher compression is possible.
+- Add ``/etc/machine-id`` with special value ``uninitialized``. The final id is generated at boot time, and systemd's
+ first-boot mechanim (see ``First Boot Semantics`` in ``machine-id(5)``) applies. No functional change unless that
+ ``ConditionFirstBoot=yes`` is true and passive unit ``first-boot-complete.target`` activates for ordering.
+
+[68] - 2022-10-30
+=================
+
+Changed
+-------
+
+- Do not explicitly enable ``qemu-guest-agent.service`` as it will be started by a udev rule.
+- Remove existing signature (``.sig``) files and do not sign them when signing netboot artifacts. This is mostly
+ applicable when re-running ``mkparabolaiso`` after a failure.
+- Replace ``parabolaiso_kms`` with ``kms`` in ``mkinitcpio.conf``. The hook is available in mkinitcpio since version 32.
+
+[67] - 2022-09-25
+=================
+
+Added
+-----
+
+- The ability to generate rootfs signatures using openssl CMS module if ``-c`` is given.
+
+Changed
+-------
+
+- Order ``pacman-init.service`` before ``archlinux-keyring-wkd-sync.service`` since
+ ``archlinux-keyring-wkd-sync.service`` needs an initialized pacman keyring.
+- Order ``pacman-init.service`` after ``time-sync.target`` since ``pacman-init.service`` may otherwise create local
+ signatures that are not valid on target systems after installation.
+
+[66] - 2022-08-28
+=================
+
+Added
+-----
+
+- Add ``efibootimg`` to ``mkarchiso`` to abstract the FAT image path.
+- Unset ``LANGUAGE`` since ``LC_ALL=C.UTF-8``, unlike ``LC_ALL=C``, does not override ``LANGUAGE``.
+- Copy all files from the ``grub`` directory to ISO9660 and the FAT image, not just only ``grub.cfg``.
+- Touching ``/usr/lib/clock-epoch`` to to help ``systemd`` with screwed or broken RTC.
+
+Changed
+-------
+
+- Disable GRUB's shim_lock verifier and preload more modules. This allows reusing the GRUB EFI binaries when repacking
+ the ISO to support Secure Boot with custom signatures.
+
+[65] - 2022-06-30
+=================
+
+Added
+-----
+
+- Configure the locale for the baseline profile to ``C.UTF-8`` so that a UTF-8 locale is used.
+- Add ``uefi-x64.grub.esp`` and ``uefi-x64.grub.eltorito`` boot mode to support x86_64 UEFI boot on x86_64 machines.
+- Use ``mkfs.erofs``'s ``ztailpacking`` option in the baseline profile to reduce the image size.
+
+Changed
+-------
+
+- Change the releng profile's locale from ``en_US.UTF-8`` to ``C.UTF-8``.
+- Set ``LC_ALL`` to ``C.UTF-8`` instead of ``C`` in mkparabolaiso since it is now available and non-UTF-8 locales should be
+ avoided.
+
+Removed
+-------
+
+- Remove the custom pacman hook that ran ``locale-gen`` on glibc install from the releng profile. The used locale now
+ ships with the glibc package itself.
+- Remove "Copy to RAM" boot entries since the ``parabolaiso`` mkinitcpio hook enables it automatically when there is enough
+ free RAM.
+- Drop parabolaiso rEFInd support in favor of upstream archiso GRUB EFI bootmode.
+
+[64] - 2022-05-30
+=================
+
+Added
+-----
+
+- Add ``uefi-ia32.grub.esp`` boot mode to support IA32 UEFI boot on x86_64 machines.
+- Add GRUB configuration files to profiles.
+- Add accessible ``copytoram`` entry.
+- Enable beeps in systemd-boot menu.
+
+Changed
+-------
+
+- Fix systemd-boot menu entry sorting by using the ``sort-key`` option.
+
+[63] - 2022-04-30
+=================
+
+Added
+-----
+
+- Add dmidecode to the list of packages in the releng profile.
+- Add open-iscsi to the list of packages in the releng profile to allow installing Parabola on an iSCSI target.
+- Add hyperv to the list of packages and enable its services to provide better integration with the
+ Hyper-V hypervisor.
+
+Changed
+-------
+
+- Mount /etc/pacman.d/gnupg on ramfs instead of tmpfs to ensure its contents never land in swap.
+- Configure reflector to return only mirrors that support both IPv4 and IPv6.
+
+[62.1] - 2022-04-05
+===================
+
+Removed
+-------
+
+- Easter egg
+
+[62] - 2022-03-31
+=================
+
+Changed
+-------
+
+- Fix the PXE support. PXELINUX was having trouble finding the kernel and initrds. Now, archiso forces syslinux to
+ interpret all TFTP paths as absolute. That seems to have solved the issue.
+- Disable systemd-gpt-auto-generator, which we do not need, in both baseline and releng profiles. It avoids the error
+ message about it failing during boot.
+- Register qemu-arm-static if it is not already, rather than suggesting installing an extra package.
+
+[61] - 2022-01-31
+=================
+
+Added
+-----
+
+- Add documentation to systemd-networkd configuration files
+- Add information about the use of changelog and merge requests to the contributing guidelines
+
+Changed
+-------
+
+- Fix an issue where mkparabolaiso is failing to raise an error when the ``mmd`` and ``mcopy`` commands are not found
+- Fix an issue where the architecture detection in mkparabolaiso fails due to an unset ``arch`` variable in the profile
