NEWS for Morph
==============
-This file contains high-level summaries of what's changed in each release.
+This file contains high-level summaries of user-visible changes in
+each Morph release.
+
+Version 13, released 2014-01-10
+-------------------------------
+
+New features added:
+
+* New CPU architecture: ppc64 architecture (POWER PC 64-bit). This is
+ the change specific for Morph. There are changes to the morphologies
+ (in a different git repository) to actually build such systems.
+
+* `morph build` and `morph deploy` now allow `.morph` suffixes in
+ command line arguments. The suffixes are stripped internally, so
+ Morph behaves as if they suffix wasn't there in the first place.
+
+* The `morph build` command is now a new implementation. The old
+ implementation is still available as `morph old-build`, just in case
+ the new code is buggy, but will be removed in a future release.
+ Likewise, `morph deploy` has a new implementation, but no
+ `old-deploy`. Both new implementations should work exactly as the
+ old ones, except for bugs.
+
+Bugs fixed:
+
+* When Morph reads git configuration files, it now correctly handles
+ whitespace at the end of configuration values.
+
+* `morph deploy` no longer creates and pushes a temporary build
+ branch. Pushing it wasn't useful, merely wasteful.
+
+* `morph deploy` now allows cross-architecture deployments, and
+ and `morph cross-bootstrap` checks that the system is being built
+ supports the target architecture.
+
+Other user-visible changes:
+
+* When preparing to build (when construcing the build graph), Morph
+ now reports the ref (SHA1) it uses for each stratum.
+
+* Systems being built must now have at least one stratum, and the
+ strata in a system must have at least one chunk that is built using
+ the normal (staging area) mode, rather than bootstrap mode.
Version 12, released 2013-11-15
