+- Even though the requested buildroot is cross-arch (must be initialized with
+  cross-arch packages using the `--forcearch RPM` feature), the bootstrap chroot
+  is newly always prepared with the native architecture.  This change has been
+  done to optimize the final buildroot installation — using the "arch natively"
+  compiled DNF stack is much faster than cross-arch emulation using
+  `qemu-user-static`.  As a benefit, we can newly simply use the "native"
+  Podman-pulled `bootstrap_image` even for cross-arch builds (we have to play
+  with Glibc's "personality" a bit, but still).  See [issue#1110][].
+
+- The bootstrap-related logging has been changed so the corresponding log
+  entries are now appended to the default `root.log` file.  This change should
+  lead to a better understanding what is going on in the bootstrap chroot
+  ([issue#539][] and [PR#1106][]).

+  variable in such a plugin, see [PR#1116][] for more info.  The plugin
+  `hw_info` has been newly disabled this way.
 
 - The bootstrap chroot installation was made smaller;  newly only the
   `python3-dnf` and `python3-dnf-plugins-core` are installed, instead of `dnf`
   and `dnf-plugins-core` (which used to install also unnecessary documentation
   files).
 
-- Automatic downloads (for example with `mock https://exmaple.com/src.rpm`
+- Automatic file downloads (for example with `mock https://exmaple.com/src.rpm`
   use cases) have been changed to automatically retry the download several times
   to work around random network failures ([PR#1132][] and [PR#1134][]).
 
 - The `dnf` and `dnf5` processes are newly always executed with the
   `--setopt=allow_vendor_change=yes` option.  This is done in belief that we
-  don't have to protect the Mock builds against `Vendor` changes, and we do this
-  because overriding the distro-default RPMs is quite common thing (`mock
-  --chain` e.g.) while mimicking the distro-default `Vendor` tag would be
-  a painful task.  The thing is that the `allow_vendor_change=no` is going to be
-  set by default in DNF5 soon and we want to prevent unnecessary surprises.
-  Also, openSUSE has been reported to use this even now with DNF4 ([PR#1160][]).

+- Mock now considers DNF5 to be a valid package manager alternative.  For
+  example considering
+
+    1. that Bootstrap chroot is generated from a bootstrap image,
+    2. expected package manager is DNF4 (`package_manager == 'dnf'`)
+    3. but the selected image has only `dnf5` installed by default
+
+  then Mock properly finds the `/bin/dnf5` command in-bootstrap, uses it to
+  install `/bin/dnf-3` into the bootstrap chroot first and then it uses
+  `/bin/dnf-3` in bootstrap for the final target buildroot installation.

-## Mock v?.? bugfixes:
+- The orphan-process killing feature was enhanced to also properly kill
+  processes started by `dnf install` post-scriptles (installing from bootstrap
+  to buildroot), see [issue#1165][].
+
+- The `podman pull` logic that Mock does in the background with
+  `--use-bootstrap-image` (now by default) was fixed to not affect the
+  `mock --shell` stdout.  That was a bug, stdout is often parsed by callers.
+
+- The fact that we use in-bootstrap package manager for *installation stuff into
+  the bootstrap chroot itself* revealed that we have to do certain mountpoints
+  [earlier than we used to][PR#1167].
 
 - Make sure we properly unmount all the Mock mount internal points even though
   the Mock process was interrupted using `CTRL+C` (`KeyboardInterrupt`
-  exception).  This has fixed a long-term bug which, when observed before, broke
-  the subsequent `mock` processes including `mock --scrub`. Also, the directory
-  removal method has been fixed to re-try under [certain
-  circumstances][PR#1058]. Relates to [rhbz#2176689][], [rhbz#2176691][],
-  [rhbz#2177680][], [rhbz#2181641][], etc.
