+# ZFSBootMenu v1.7.0 (2020-11-15)
+
+In addition to a bug fixes, this release targets refinements that improve usability and offer contextual help within the menus.
+
+## Fixes
+* ZFSBootMenu now respects the `console` kernel command-line option and should behave as expected over a serial console.
+* Command lists at the bottom of each menu are now sensibly wrapped to the terminal width, with extra coloring to highlight key combinations.
+* Rather than rely solely on the `hostid(1)` command to populate the default hostid in the ZFSBootMenu initramfs, the dracut module will prefer to copy the `/etc/hostid` from the host, which should produce more consistent behavior on musl systems.
+* Boot environments are now explicitly sorted, with the default boot environment appearing at the top of the list and selected by default.
+
+## New features
+* An online help system, accessible from `alt-h` within any menu, provides descriptions of functionality provided by ZFSBootMenu.
+* The description at the top of the menu now indicates whether the selected boot environment is on a pool currently imported readonly or writable.
+* New command-line arguments `zbm.lines` and `zbm.columns` allow the size of the terminal at boot time.
+* When `generate-zbm` fails to parse the YAML configuration, more detailed messages pinpoint parsing errors.

 # ZFSBootMenu v1.6.1 (2020-10-27)
 
 Revert omitting `rootfs-block` by default from the ZFSBootMenu initramfs. `rootfs-block` is a hard requirement of `crypt`, which is used to setup LUKS beneath ZFS.
