* Noteworthy changes in release ?.? (????-??-??) [?]
+** New Features
+
+ Add --fix to --script mode to automatically fix problems like the backup
+ GPT header not being at the end of a disk.
+
+ Add use of the swap partition flag to msdos disk labeled disks.
+
+ Allow the partition name to be an empty string when set in script mode.
+
+ Add --json command line switch to output the details of the disk as JSON.
+
+ Add support for the Linux home GUID using the linux-home flag.
+
+** Bug Fixes
+
+ Decrease disk sizes used in tests to make it easier to run the test suite
+ on systems with less memory. Largest filesystem is now 267MB (fat32). The
+ rest are only 10MB.
+
+ Add aarch64 and mips64 as valid machines for testing.
+
+ Escape colons and backslashes in the machine output. Device path,
+ model, and partition name could all include these. They are now
+ escaped with a backslash.
+
+ Use libdevmapper's retry remove option when the device is BUSY. This
+ prevents libdevmapper from printing confusin output when trying to
+ remove a busy partition.
+
+ Keep GUID specific attributes when writing the GPT header. Previously
+ they were set to 0.
* Noteworthy changes in release 3.4 (2021-01-27) [stable]
