+features:
+  - |
+    A new multipathd-container-ansible.yaml heat template replaces the
+    multipathd-container.yaml template. The new template adds support for
+    the following new parameters.
+    * MultipathdSkipKpartx
+    * MultipathdCustomConfigFile
+upgrade:
+  - |
+    When upgrading from the multipathd-container.yaml template to the new
+    multipathd-container-ansible.yaml template, bear in mind the new
+    MultipathdSkipKpartx parameter will configure the corresponding skip_kpartx
+    setting in /etc/multipath.conf.
+deprecations:
+  - |
+    The multipathd-container.yaml template is deprecated in favor of a new
+    multipathd-container-ansible.yaml template. The new template is backward
+    compatible with the old template, but see the features and upgrade notes
+    for additional details.
