+initramfs-tools (0.129) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+ * Some systems that do not support suspend-to-disk (hibernation) will
+ require a configuration change to explicitly disable this.
+
+ From version 0.128, the boot code waits for a suspend/resume device
+ to appear, rather than checking just once. If the configured or
+ automatically selected resume device is not available at boot time,
+ this results in a roughly 30 second delay.
+
+ You should set the RESUME variable in
+ /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume or
+ /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf to one of:
+
+ - auto - select the resume device automatically
+ - none - disable use of a resume device
+ - UUID=<uuid> - use a specific resume device (by UUID)
+ - /dev/<name> - use a specific resume device (by kernel name)

+initramfs-tools (0.121~rc1) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+ * If initramfs-tools is configured to use busybox but it is not
+ installed, mkinitramfs will now fail. Previously it would quietly use
+ klibc instead, sometimes producing a broken initramfs. You may need
+ to modify /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf or install busybox when
+ upgrading.
+ * Support for loop-aes has been removed. If you use loop-aes encryption
+ for the root or /usr filesystem, you will need to switch to cryptsetup.
+ See the 'loop-AES extension' section in cryptsetup(8).

+initramfs-tools (0.119) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+ * The initramfs will now run fsck on the root filesystem before
+ mounting it. If the chosen init program is systemd and there is a
+ separate /usr filesystem, it will also fsck and mount /usr.
+ * If /usr is a separate filesystem on a RAID device and the INITRDSTART
+ setting in /etc/default/mdadm is not 'all', you will need to change it
+ to include that device.
+ * If /usr is a separate filesystem on an LVM logical volume, and the
+ line for /usr in /etc/fstab specifies the device by UUID or LABEL,
+ you must change this line to specify the device using the format
+ /dev/mapper/VG-LV or /dev/VG/LV.
+ * It is no longer possible to bind-mount the /usr filesystem.
+ * If the RTC (real time clock) is set to local time and the local time is
+ ahead of UTC, e2fsck will print a warning during boot about the time
+ changing backward (bug #767040). You can disable this by putting the
+ following lines in /etc/e2fsck.conf:
+ [options]
+ broken_system_clock=1
+ [As of e2fsprogs version 1.42.13 this message is informational, and
+ no configuration change is required.]

+initramfs-tools (0.94) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ To improve boot speed and avoid some complications, video drivers are
+ no longer included in the initramfs by default (MODULES=most).

+initramfs-tools (0.76) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ This release features nfs auto detection in the initramfs.
+ The boot paramaters are parsed according to the linux source
+ Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt and more specifically
+ Documentation/nfsroot.txt.
+
+ The initramfs-tools(8) manpage documents the parsed boot parameter.
+ Note that the undocumented and non compliant nfsoption bootarg got
+ dropped.

+initramfs-tools (0.61) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ This release moves the initramfs-tools confdir from /etc/mkinitramfs to
+ /etc/initramfs-tools. Packages are encouraged to ship files as scripts
+ under /usr/share/initramfs-tools.
+
+ Local tests behaved fine, but be warned that this could potentially
+ cause boot troubles on upgrade.

+
+initramfs-tools (0.10) breezy; urgency=low
+
+ This release includes hardware auto detection in the initramfs.
+ This means two things in particular that are important:
+
+ 1) the resulting initramfs will be huge. Like 10 megs huge.
+ I will shrink it down once it's correct. If you're on an
+ arch that doesn't like >4mb initramfs', then this won't boot.
+
+ 2) Your network drivers are loaded in the initramfs, so hotplug
+ won't see a network event, so ifup won't be run. This will
+ be fixed shortly in hotplug.
