+        <h3>About</h3>
+
+        <p>This Grml release provides fresh software packages from Debian
+        testing (AKA jessie). As usual it also incorporates up2date hardware

+
+        <h3>New features</h3>
+
+        <ul>
+
+          <li>new boot option <em>vlan</em>: this provides
+          support for e.g. using something like
+          'ip=10.10.10.42::10.10.10.1:255.255.255.0:grml:eth0:off
+          vlan=301:eth0' to use VID 301 for device eth0 (development sponsored
+          by <a href="http://www.sipwise.com/">Sipwise
+            GmbH</a>)</li>
+
+          <li>grml-debootstrap:</li>
+
+          <ul>

+          </ul>
+
+        </ul>
+
+        <h3>Important Changes</h3>
+
+        <ul>
+
+          <li>forensic mode: the <em>readonly</em> boot option

+        </ul>
+
+        <h3>Bits &amp; bolts</h3>
+
+        <ul>
+          <li>Linux kernel is based on <b>3.13.6</b>.</li>
