+# ZFSBootMenu v1.11.0 (2021-10-31)
+
+## Updated defaults
+
+* The chroot hot-key has been changed to `MOD+J` to avoid a key conflict with the usage of `CTRL+I`.
+
+## Deprecated features
+
+* Support for reading the KCL from /etc/default/zfsbootmenu or /etc/default/grub will be removed in a future release. During the transition period, ZFSBootMenu will attempt to automatically convert a deprecated KCL configuration to the org.zfsbootmenu:commandline property.
+
+## Fixes
+
+* The Makefile now correctly installs all files (this fixes the missing help pages)
+* Make the width of the count down menu consistent as digits are dropped from the timer
+* Remove a spurious function call in the preview renderer
+* Where possible, prefer built-in Bash regex support over forking to grep
+* Remove uses of basename, prefering Bash string manipulation
+* Properly find the zpool executable when creating an initramfs
+* Set a consistent environment for SSH and recovery shells
+* Set default columns and rows for serial consoles when none are provided
+* Improve the reliability of detecting which libgcc_s.so to install
+* Set keylocation and a corrected encryption root for full-copy clones
+
+## New features
+
+* Allow taking over a running instance of ZFSBootMenu via `zbm`
+* Create a docker/podman image, based on Void Linux, that can be used to create ZFSBootMenu images
+* Allow diffing a snapshot with another snapshot, instead of just with the current state of the filesystem
+* Add early hooks, just after kernel modules have been loaded but before any pools have been imported
+* org.zfsbootmenu:keysource can now be an arbitrary ZFS filesystem instead of another boot environment
+* Snapshots can now be created, providing a starting point for a new boot environment
+* `zreport` is available in the recovery shell, which can provide details-at-a-glance for bug reports
+* The `testing/` infrastructure has been updated to allow the installation of multiple distributions in one command
+* The Debian testing environment has been updated to Bullseye
+* EFI bundles can be built and tested under `testing/`
