+# Changelog
+
+## v0.3.0 (unreleased)
+
+Major release with significant UX and internal improvements:
+
+ - There is no longer a difference between an Ignite image and an OCI image, this is now the same thing. Ignite operates on OCI images
+   directly, for both OS images and kernels.
+ - Ignite now uses Devicemapper's `thin-provisioning` feature, for way better performance and added capabilities.
+ - It is now possible to do `ignite run [OCI image]` directly, and everything (e.g. pulling the image) is handled automatically. e.g. `ignite run -i weaveworks/ignite-ubuntu`.
+ - Now `ignite images` shows OCI images that are cached and ready to use, and `ignite kernels` the kernel images ready to use.
+ - Added an example usage guide for running a Kubernetes cluster in HA mode using kubeadm and Ignite.
+ - Removed `ignite build`, and `ignite image/kernel import`; as these are no longer needed
+ - Importing an image from a tROADMAPar file is no longer possible, package the contents in an OCI image instead
+ - Added a new command `ignite ssh [vm]` and flag: `ignite run --ssh`. This allows for automatic SSH logins.
+ - Now Ignite logs user-friendly messages by default. To get machine-readable output, use the `--quiet` flag.
+ - Ignite now requires the user to be `root`. This will be revisited later, when the architecture has changed.
+ - The command outputs and structure is now more user-friendly.
+ - Fixed several bugs both under the hood, and user-affecting ones
+
+## v0.2.0
+
+Major release with significant improvements
+
+ - Ignite is now using `devicemapper` under the hood, for overlay snapshots for filesystem writes, allowing for image reuse, efficient use of space and way faster builds!
+ - Added sample Ubuntu 18.04 and CentOS 7 OS images & a 4.19 kernel build
+ - Automatic network configuration, now the OS image doesn't need to enable DHCP, as that is done in the kernel
+ - Automatically populate `/etc/hosts` and `/etc/resolv.conf`, too
+ - Add an option to bind a port exposed by the VM to a host port (`ignite run -p 80:80`)
+ - Add an option for modifying the kernel command line (`ignite run --kernel-args`)
+ - Add an option to copy files from the host into the VM (`ignite run --copy-files`)
+ - Add an option to specify the amount of cores, RAM, and overlay size (`ignite run --cpus 2 --memory 1024 --size 4GB`)
+ - Removed the need for the Ignite container to run with `--privileged`
+ - Allow for force-deletions of images, kernels and vms.
+ - Added documentation.
+ - Moved repo from luxas/ignite to weaveworks/ignite
+
+## v0.1.0
+
+This is the first, proof-of-concept version of Ignite.
+It has all the essential features, and a pretty complete implementation of the docker UX.

+# Roadmap
+
+This is a provisional roadmap for what we'd like to do in the coming releases.
+
+ - CNI support, when using Docker (similar to what the kubelet does)
+ - Prometheus metrics exposed over a socket (converted from the FIFO Firecracker supplies)
+ - containerd support, do not hard-code this to docker only. This will add Kubernetes support.
+ - Parallelized internal architecture for way better performance
+ - Factor out the `ignite container` command to its own binary for less overhead when running VMs (`ignite-spawn`)
+ - Take full advantage of Devicemapper's thin-provisioning feature
+ - Re-architect Ignite, and split it up into four parts:
+    - `ignite`, keeping the same CLI as we have now
+    - `ignite-containerd`, a containerd plugin for running Ignite VMs
+    - `ignite-snapshotter`, a containerd snapshotter plugin for building VM disks out of OCI images
+    - `ignite-spawn`, a small wrapper binary around Firecracker handling networking and DHCP translation
