+    - LOCAL DATABASE CHANGE: A checksums file is now written out along
+      with the snapshot descriptor that contains checksums of segments
+      used in a snapshot.  This will allow quick integrity checks of a
+      snapshot, without needing to decompress or decrypt the segment
+      files.  The local database schema was modified to store the
+      checksums for segments.

     - Build dependence on libtar has been dropped.  All necessary
       support for writing TAR files is now directly included with the
       source.
