-This is not yet released.
+When operating on multiple virtual machines at once, vmadm now does
+them more in parallel. When creating them, all are created once before
+vmadm waits for them to be ready for SSH. Previously, each virtual
+machine was created, then waited on. The new way allows all machines
+to boot up concurrently, meaning the process as a whole goes faster.
+Similarly for the other operations.
+
+The configuration and specification files now allow filenames to use
+the tilde syntax for referring to the user's home directory. For
+example:
+
+~~~yaml
+default_base_image: ~/tmp/debian-10-openstack-amd64.qcow2
+~~~
+
+vmadm is now more resilient against minor problems, such as when
+staring a virtual machine that is already running. Such benign
+problems are now handled quietly.
+
+Error messages are now more specific and useful. If vmadm fails to
+open a file, it says what file it is.
