+Platform 0.7
+-------------------------------------
+
+CouchDB improvements: CouchDB is not designed to handle ephemeral data, like
+sessions, because documents are never really deleted (a tombstone document is
+always kept to record the deletion). To overcome this limitation, we now
+rotate the `sessions` and `tokens` databases monthly. The new database names
+are `tokens_XXX` and `sessions_XXX` where XXX is counter since the epoch that
+increments every month (not a calendar month, but a month's worth of seconds).
+
+Additionally, nagios monitor and `leap test run` now will create and destroy
+test users in the `tmp_users` database, which will get periodically deleted
+and recreated.
+
+Compatibility:
+
+* requires leap_cli version 1.7
+* requires bitmask client version >= 0.7
+
+Commits: https://leap.se/git/leap_platform.git/shortlog/refs/tags/0.7.0
+
+Upgrading:
+
+* `gem install leap_cli --version 1.7` or run leap_cli from current master branch.
+* `cd leap_platform; git pull; git checkout 0.7.0` or checkout current master branch.
+* `leap deploy`
+* `leap db destroy --db sessions,tokens` You can ignore message about needing
+  to redeploy (since, in this case, we just want to permanently delete those
+  databases).
+
+New features:
+
+* rotating couchdb databases
+* deployment logging: information on every deploy is logged to
+  `/var/log/leap`, including the user, leap_cli version, and platform version.
+* you must now run `leap deploy --downgrade` if you want to deploy an older
+  version over a newer platform version.
+* the install source each custom daemons (e.g. tapicero, etc) is now
+  configured on `common.json`.
+* you can configure apt sources in common.json
+* many bug fixes
