+    - Rework storage layer, to make it easier to support local files,
+      S3, and in the future more storage backends.  cumulus-util now
+      permits URLS for specifying storage locations, including s3:// for
+      Amazon S3 storage.
+    - The script-level interface between the main cumulus binary and
+      remote storage has changed.  It should not yet be considered
+      completely finalized.
+    - Add a tool (cumulus-sync) for copying snapshots between storage
+      repositories.
+    - Add a (mostly proof-of-concept) FUSE interface for accessing
+      snapshots.
+    - Implement a basic garbage-collection command for deleting unused
+      segments.  There still needs to be a way to select snapshots to
+      delete (perhaps based on some type of schedule).
+    - Assorted minor bugfixes.

+0.8 [2008-08-01]
+    - SNAPSHOT FORMAT CHANGE: The snapshot format has been extended to
+      allow the local database to be partially rebuilt from the contents
+      of the metadata log.  This may be useful for disaster recovery and
+      other scenarios.  The changes are small, but old tools will not
+      read the new backups.
+    - Add the --rebuild-statcache option which will re-read all files
+      instead of depending on the statcache file to be correct.  This
+      will additionally print warnings if a file has changed but would
+      not have been detected as changed based on the statcache, and will
+      add subfile incremental signatures for existing files that do not
+      have them.
