+      %r - Rivendell Host Name
+      %R - Host Short Name
+
+   Provisioning Support. Added the following directives to the [Provisioning]
+   section of rd.conf(5) to facilitate automatic provisioning of hosts:
+      	NewHostShortNameRegex=<regex>
+	NewHostShortNameGroup=<num>
+	NewServiceNameRegex=<regex>

+
+   Dropbox Enhancements. Added the ability to specify creation of default

+
+   Various other bug fixes.  See the ChangeLog for details.   
+
+Database Update:
+   This version of Rivendell uses database schema version 271, and will
+   automatically upgrade any earlier versions.  To see the current schema
+   version prior to upgrade, see RDAdmin->SystemInfo.
+
+   As always, be sure to run RDAdmin immediately after upgrading to allow 
+   any necessary changes to the database schema to be applied.
