 need them for myself, but I'm not developing new features otherwise. I
 will review and merge patches, though.
 
+Version 0.40, released 2024-03-23
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Version number is bumped a lot to avoid some incorrectly tagged
+versions that Lars is very sorry for. Other than that, this version is
+mainly a few bug fixes, mostly from other people.
+
+* Documentation fix: `README.md` points to `base.vmdb` as an example,
+  rather than `pc.vmdb`, which has long since been deleted.
+
+* `ppc64el.vmdb` has been fixed so that it at least builds. It's
+  unknown whether it builds an image that boots.
+
+* From Matej Kovac, fixes to `resolv.conf` configuration: don't copy
+  the host's configuration.
+  
+* From Peter Palfrader, a fix the `cryptsetup` plugin to import the
+  `logging` module.
+
+* From Victor Westerhuis, a fix to using the right `grub-ieee1275`
+  depending on the target system.
