* Noteworthy changes in release ?.? (????-??-??) [?]
+** New features
+
+ The 'job' procedure has now a '#:user' keyword argument which allows
+ specifying a different user that will run it.
+
+ Additional man pages for 'cron(8)' and 'crontab(1)' are now generated using
+ GNU Help2man.
+
+** Bug fixes
+
+ Child process created when executing a job are now properly cleaned even
+ when execution fails by using 'dynamic-wind' construct.
+
+** Improvements
+
+ GNU Guile 2.2 is now supported.
+
+ Some procedures are now written using functional style and include a
+ docstring. 'def-macro' usages are now replaced with hygienic macros.
+
+ Compilation is now done using a non-recursive Makefile, supports out of tree
+ builds, and use silent rules by default.
+
+ Guile object files creation don't rely on auto-compilation anymore and are
+ installed in 'site-ccache' directory.
+
+ Jobs are now internally represented using SRFI-9 records instead of vectors.
+
+ Changelog are generated from Git logs when generating the tarball using
+ Gnulib gitlog-to-changelog script.
+
+ A test suite is now available and can be run with 'make check'.
+
+** Changes in behavior
+
+ The "--enable-debug" configure variable has been removed and replaced with
+ MCRON_DEBUG environment variable.
+
+ The "--disable-multi-user" configure variable is now used to not build and
+ install the 'cron' and 'crontab' programs. It has replaced the
+ "--enable-no-vixie-clobber" which had similar effect.
+
+ (mcron core) module is now deprecated and has been superseeded by
+ (mcron base).
+
