+propellor 2.9.0 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
+[[!toggleable text="""
+   * Added basic Uwsgi module, maintained by Félix Sipma.
+   * Add Apt.hasForeignArch. Thanks, Per Olofsson.
+   * Improved documentation, particularly of the Propellor module.
+   * The Propellor module no longer exports many of the things it used to,
+     being now focused on only what's needed to write config.hs.
+     Use Propellor.Base to get all the things exported by Propellor before.
+     (API change)
+   * Some renaming of instance methods, and moving of functions to more
+     appropriate modules. (API change)
+   * Added File.isSymlinkedTo. Thanks, Per Olofsson.
+   * fileProperty, and properties derived from it now write the new
+     file content via origfile.propellor-new~, instead of to a randomly named
+     temp file. This allows them to clean up any temp file that may have
+     been left by an interrupted run of propellor.
+   * Added Propellor.Property.Spin, which can be used to make a host be a
+     controller of other hosts, which will automatically spin them each time
+     propellor is run.
+   * Ssh.keyImported is replaced with Ssh.userKeys. (API change)
+     The new property only gets the private key from the privdata; the
+     public key is provided as a parameter, and so is available as
+     Info that other properties can use.
+   * Ssh.keyImported' is renamed to Ssh.userKeyAt, and also changed
+     to only import the private key from the privdata. (API change)
+   * While Ssh.keyImported and Ssh.keyImported' avoided updating existing
+     keys, the new Ssh.userKeys and Ssh.userKeyAt properties will
+     always update out of date key files.
+   * Ssh.pubKey renamed to Ssh.hostPubKey. (API change)
+   * Added --unset-unused
+   * Fix typo: propigate → propagate. Thanks, Felix Gruber.
+     (A minor API change)
+   * Chroot: Converted to use a ChrootBootstrapper type class, so
+     other ways to bootstrap chroots can easily be added in separate
+     modules. (API change)"""]]
