+  =  Lynis 2.1.x (2015-xx-xx)  =
+
+  This release adds several improvements and in different areas. Support for systems
+  like CentOS, openSUSE, Slackware is improved. It includes further cleanups of the
+  code, performance tweaks and more support for common software components.
+
+  Performance:
+  Performance tuning has been applied, to speed up execution of the audit on
+  systems with many files.
+
+  Automatic updater:
+  Initial work on an automatic updater has been implemented. This way Lynis can
+  be scheduled for updating from a trusted source.
+

+  ShowSymlinkPath function has been extended with a Python based check.
+

+  Support for Chef has been added.
+
+  File integrity:
+  Added tests for CSF's lfd utility for integrity monitoring on directories and
+  files. Related tests are FINT-4334 and FINT-4336.
+
+  Time sychronization:
+  Added support for Chrony time daemon and timesync daemon. Additionally NTP
+  sychronization status is checked when it is enabled.
+
+  Other:
+  Check for permissions has been extended.
+  Python binary is now detected, to help with symlink detection.
+  Several new legal terms, for usage in banners, have been added.
+  In several files old tests have been removed, to further clean up the code.
+  The hardening index is inserted into the report, even if it is not displayed on screen.
