+Version 0.28, released 2023-08-02
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+There's a lot of bug fixes, some new features, and a better test
+suite.
+
+Bug fixes:
+
+* Fix problem with updating `/etc/default/grub` with a shorter
+  version. The `grub` plugin now truncates the excess length of the
+  file. Thank you to Tim Small for the fix.
+
+* The `grub` and `virtualfs` plugins now mount virtual filesystems
+  only once. The `grub` plugin also mounts `/proc` sufficiently early
+  for to handle a root file system being in a logical volume. The
+  `virtualfs` plugins bind mounts the host's `/dev` for correct
+  handling of LVM images. Thank you to rtkapiper for the change.
+
+* The `unpack_rootfs` plugin now handles `/etc/resolv.conf` being a
+  symlink better, by copying that file pointed at by the symlink as
+  well. Thank you to rtkapiper for the change.
+
+* The `kpartx` plugin now creates a loop device if needed. Thank you
+  to rtkapiper for the change.
+
+* The `mount` plugin now correctly normalizes mount point paths. Thank
+  you to rtkapiper for the change.
+
+* The `run_even_if_skipped` feature has returned, because it's
+  actually needed for corner cases of `debootstrap` use.
+
+* The `debootstrap` plugin only obeys the `arch` field if it's
+  actually set. Previously, the plugin treated a missing `arch` field
+  as set.
+
+* The generated `/etc/fstab` no longer uses options for file systems
+  that are specific for the ext4 file system.
+
+* The generated `/etc/fstab` file is now sorted by mount point. This
+  makes `mount -a` work more reliably. Thank you to rtkapiper for the
+  change.
+
+* The `--version` option now works.
+
+Breaking changes:
+
+* The `luks` and `cryptsetup` plugins have been combined. There can be
+  only the `cryptsetup` one. Any vmdb file that uses `luks` is broken
+  with this release.
+
+New features:
+
+* The `cache_rootfs` plugin now allows forcing overwriting a rootfs
+  tarball. Thank you to rtkapiper for the change.
+
+* The `debootstrap` plugin can now optionally install TLS CA
+  certificates to allow repositories behind `https` URLs. Thank you to
+  rtkapiper for the change.
+
+* vmdb2 now supports installing Debian onto images with existing
+  partitions and logical volumes. Among other changes, there's a new
+  `lvscan` plugin. Thank you to rtkapiper for the change.
+
+* The `ansible` plugin now sets any Ansible variables on the command
+  line invocation of `ansible-playbook`, to make them more visible and
+  debugging easier. Thank you to rtkapiper for the change.
+
+* With the `--verbose` option, the stdout and stderr output of
+  commands run by vmdb2 are shown and logged in real time. Thank you
+  to rtkapiper for the change.
+
+Other changes:
+
+* The argon2id key derivation function is now used for LUKS full disk
+  encryption.
+
+* The zerofree utility no longer spams the log file with percentages
+  of how much of the work it has done.
+
+* Improved test suite. This is invisible to anyone by vmdb2
+  developers, but helps vmdb2 be tested for more cases.
