+  * major
+	   - Big changes to the documentation of this package: divided guide in
+		 package development and package creation; added section for implementing
+		 configuration and command-line application for bob extensions.
+		 - Initial implementation for a (more) centrally-available python-based
+		 configuration system. The implementation is based on the config-file
+		 support that existed in bob.bio.base. Since the initial port, it has
+		 improved quite a lot to support a number of features. Check the
+		 documentation for details and how to use these on your packages.
+		 - Initial implementation of a command-line infrastructure for bob
+		 packages. The implementation is based on click and extensible to other
+		 packages in the Bob framework. Check the documentation for details.
+     - Added support for stacked processors
+		 - Fixes for compilation from scratch on newer versions of gcc, namely by
+		 having a more comprehensive use of "-isystem"
+		 - Improvements to our internal search-path functionality for building
+		 other packages
+		 - Ported to new CI/CD
