+					</ul>

+				<li>docs/release.html Add DMP vortex86ex to list of candidates.</li>

+				<li>
+					docs/release.html: Remove Acer CB5 from list of future candidates.
+					<ul>
+						<li>
+							Too many issues. Chromebooks are crippled (soldered RAM/storage/wifi)
+							and have too many usability issues for the libreboot project.
+						</li>
+					</ul>
+				</li>
+				<li>docs/gnulinux/grub_cbfs.html Major cleanup. Usability improvements.</li>
+				<li>hocs/gnulinux/encrypted_trisquel.html: Fixed mistakes/typos. General improvements</li>
+				<li>
+					flash (flashrom script): remove boardmismatch=force
+					<ul>
+						<li>
+							 This was put there before for users upgrading from libreboot r5
+							 to r6, but also allows the user to flash the wrong image. For
+							 example, the user could flash a T60 image on an X60, thus
+							 bricking the machine. It's almost certain that most people
+							 have upgraded by now, so remove this potentially dangerous
+							 option.
+						</li>
+					</ul>
+				</li>
+				<li>Documentation: update compatibility list for X60T LCD panels.</li>
+				<li>docs/release.html: add note about X60 Tablet board in X60/X60s</li>
+				<li>docs/howtos/grub_boot_installer.html: small corrections</li>
+				<li>docs/howtos/grub_boot_installer.html: improved readability, fixed html errors</li>
+				<li>Documentation (macbook21 related): clean up</li>

 		<h2>
+			Updates (relative to r20150124)
+		</h2>
+			<p>
+				This is a bug fix release based on r20150124 from two days ago. It contains a few small changes:
+			</p>
+			<ul>
+				<li>grub.cfg: hardcode the list of partitions to search (speeds up booting considerably. GRUB regexp isn't very well optimized)</li>
+				<li>Docs (x200.html hcl): Remove incorrect information</li>
+				<li>Documentation (bbb_setup.html): Fix typos</li>
+				<li>
+					build-release: delete ich9fdgbe_{4m,8m}.bin files from ich9gen
+					<ul>
+						<li>
+							These were accidentically included in the r20150124 release. They
+							are generated from ich9gen so it's ok, but they don't need to be
+							in the archive.
+						</li>
+					</ul>
+				</li>
+				<li>Documentation (grub_cbfs.html): Looping in libreboot_grub.cfg (Add notes about it if the user copied from grub.cfg in CBFS.)</li>
+				<li>Documentation: refer to Guix as GNU Guix System Distribution or GNU GSD per advice from the Guix project.</li>
