+Version 0.7.0
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Released: 2011-09-05
+
+Notes:
+ - This is the first release of the unstable 0.7.x series.
+ - This code removes a lot of deprecated code and compatibility shims
+   compared to the previous branch.
+ - Highlights of this release is the new transaction plugin interface
+   that allows external projects to add modules for interfacing with
+   PackageKit. This allows projects such as Listaller to interface with
+   PackageKit to install self contained software blobs.
+   See http://listaller.tenstral.net/ for more information.
+ - The daemon code is now using GDBus rather than dbus-glib, but the
+   libpackagekit-glib library is still using the latter. It'll be
+   converted hopefully in time for 0.7.1.
+ - It's probably not a good idea to use releases from this branch for
+   stable distros or enterprise products!
