 ## 1.1.0 (unreleased)
 
+FEATURES:
+
+  - Groundwork for **providers**, alternate backends for Vagrant that
+    allow Vagrant to power systems other than VirtualBox. Much improvement
+    and change will come to this throughout the 1.x lifecycle. The API
+    will continue to change, features will be added, and more. Specifically,
+    in this release, a robust system for handling shared folders and
+    networks is not introduced, so new providers shouldn't yet support this.
+    A system will come into place in future releases.
   - New plugin system which adds much more structure and stability to
     the overall API. The goal of this system is to make it easier to write
     powerful plugins for Vagrant while providing a backwards-compatible API

   - Plugins installed as gems no longer "autoload". You must now explicitly
     require plugins in the `~/.vagrantrc` file, using `Vagrant.require_plugin`.
     This decreases Vagrant's initial startup time considerably.
+  - Allow "file://" URLs for box URLs. [GH-1087]
+  - Emit "vagrant-mount" upstart event when NFS shares are mounted. [GH-1118]
+
+BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBILITIES:
+
+  - Vagrantfiles from 1.0.x that _do not use_ any plugins are fully
+    backwards compatible. If plugins are used, they must be removed prior
+    to upgrading. The new plugin system in place will avoid this issue in
+    the future.
+  - Lots of changes introduced in the form of a new configuration version and
+    format, but this is opt-in. Old Vagrantfile format continues to be supported,
+    as promised. To use the new features that will be introduced throughout
+    the 1.x series, you'll have to upgrade at some point.

+IMPROVEMENTS / BUG FIXES:
+
   - Improve the SSH "ready?" check. [GH-841]
   - Human friendly error if connection times out for HTTP downloads. [GH-849]
   - Detect when the VirtualBox installation is incomplete and error. [GH-846]
   - Use `LogLevel QUIET` for SSH to suppress the known hosts warning. [GH-847]
+  - All `vagrant` commands that can take a target VM name can take one even
+    if you're not in a multi-VM environment. [GH-894]
+  - Hostname is set before networks are setup to avoid very slow `sudo`
+    speeds on CentOS. [GH-922]
+  - `config.ssh.shell` now includes the flags to pass to it, such as `-l` [GH-917]
+  - The check for whether a port is open or not is more complete. [GH-948]
+  - SSH uses LogLevel FATAL so that errors are still shown.
+  - Sending a SIGINT (Ctrl-C) very early on when executing `vagrant` no
+    longer results in an ugly stack trace.
+  - Chef JSON configuration output is now pretty-printed to be
+    human readable. [GH-1146]
+  - SSH retries in the face of a `EHOSTUNREACH` error, improving the robustness
+    that SSHing succeeds when booting a machine.
   - VMs in the "guru meditation" state can be destroyed now using
     `vagrant destroy`.
   - Fix issue where changing SSH key permissions didn't properly work. [GH-911]
