 Release Notes
 =============
 
-In Development
-==============
-
-Kayobe 4.0.0 will be based on the Queens release of OpenStack.
-
-Features
---------
-
-* Adds support for configuration of custom repositories. ``yum_custom_repos``
-  should be a dict of repositories.
-* Adds support for configuration of live-restore option in docker. This is
-  enabled by setting the variable ``docker_daemon_live_restore``. Option is
-  set to false by default.
-* Facilitates deployment of TLS certificate bundles in environments
-  where SSL is required.  To use this feature, populate the contents
-  of the variable ``kolla_tls_cert`` - this will then be copied in to
-  place for use by HAProxy.
-
-Upgrade Notes
--------------
-
-* The reference to ``kolla_external_fqdn_cert`` has been removed in
-  favour of the ``kolla_tls_cert`` option, which handles setting this
-  on the user's behalf.
+Release notes are now built using reno, and will be available separately from
+the kayobe documentation for future releases.
 
 Kayobe 3.1.0
