+v0.2.0 (2018-07-08)
+-------------------
+
+Mitogen 0.2.x is the inaugural feature-frozen branch eligible for fixes only,
+except for problem areas listed as in-scope below. While stable from a
+development perspective, it should still be considered "beta" at least for the
+initial releases.
+
+**In Scope**
+
+* Python 3.x performance improvements
+* Subprocess reaping improvements
+* Major documentation improvements
+* PyPI/packaging improvements
+* Test suite improvements
+* Replacement CI system to handle every supported OS
+* Minor deviations from vanilla Ansible behaviour
+
+The goal is a *tick/tock* model where even-numbered series are a maturation of
+the previous unstable series, and unstable series are released on PyPI with
+``--pre`` enabled. The API and user visible behaviour should remain unchanged
+within a stable series.
+
+
+Mitogen for Ansible
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+* Support for Ansible 2.3 - 2.5.x and any mixture of Python 2.6, 2.7 or 3.6 on
+  controller and target nodes.
+
+* Drop-in support for many Ansible connection types.
+
+* Preview of Connection Delegation feature.
+
+* Built-in file transfer compatible with connection delegation.
+
+
+**Known Issues**
+
+* Performance does not scale linearly with target count. This requires
+  significant additional work, as major bottlenecks exist in the surrounding
+  Ansible code. Performance-related bug reports for any scenario remain
+  welcome with open arms.
+
+* Performance on Python 3 is significantly worse than on Python 2. While this
+  has not yet been investigated, at least some of the regression appears to be
+  part of the core library, and should therefore be straightforward to fix as
+  part of 0.2.x.
+
+* *Module Replacer* style Ansible modules are not supported.
+
+* Actions are single-threaded for each `(host, user account)` combination,
+  including actions that execute on the local machine. Certain styles of
+  playbook may experience slowdown compared to vanilla Ansible if they employ
+  long-running ``local_action`` or ``delegate_to`` tasks delegating many target
+  hosts to a single machine and user account.
+
+* Connection Delegation remains in preview and has bugs around how it infers
+  connections. Connection establishment will remain single-threaded for the 0.2
+  series, however connection inference bugs will be addressed in a future 0.2
+  release.
+
+
+Core Library
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+* Synchronous connection establishment via OpenSSH, sudo, su, Docker, LXC and
+  FreeBSD Jails, local subprocesses and :func:`os.fork`. Parallel connection
+  setup is possible using multiple threads. Connections may be used from one or
+  many threads after establishment.
+
+* UNIX masters and children, with Linux, MacOS, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD and
+  Windows Subsystem for Linux explicitly supported.
+
+* Automatic tests covering Python 2.6, 2.7 and 3.6 on Linux only.
+
+
+**Known Issues**
+
+* Serialization is still based on :mod:`pickle`. While there is high confidence
+  remote code execution is impossible in Mitogen's configuration, an untrusted
+  context may at least trigger disproportionately high memory usage injecting
+  small messages (*"billion laughs attack"*). Replacement is an important
+  future priority, but not critical for an initial release.
+
+* Child processes are not reliably reaped, leading to a pileup of zombie
+  processes when a program makes many short-lived connections in a single
+  invocation. This does not impact Mitogen for Ansible, however it limits the
+  usefulness of the core library. A future 0.2 release will address it.
+
+* Some races remain around :class:`mitogen.core.Broker <Broker>` destruction,
+  disconnection and corresponding file descriptor closure. These are only
+  problematic in situations where child process reaping is also problematic.
+
+* The `fakessh` component does not shut down correctly and requires flow
+  control added to the design. While minimal fixes are possible, due to the
+  absense of flow control the original design is functionally incomplete.
+
+* The multi-threaded :ref:`service` remains in a state of design flux and
+  should be considered obsolete, despite heavy use in Mitogen for Ansible. A
+  future replacement may be integrated more tightly with, or entirely replace
+  the RPC dispatcher on the main thread.
+
+* Documentation is in a state of disrepair. This will be improved over the 0.2
+  series.
