+Summary: smartmontools release 7.4
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+- smartctl '-g security': Added 'ata_security.master_password_id'
+  to JSON output.  Plaintext output shows Master Password ID if set
+  to a non-default value.
+- ATA: Enhanced LBA range for device types '-d jmb39x-q,...' and
+  '-d jms56x,...' from 33-62 to 1-255.
+- HDD, SSD and USB additions to drive database.
+- update-smart-drivedb: Fixed syntax for 'sed' versions which require
+  ';' before '}' or do not support ';' at all.
+- update-smart-drivedb: Replaced a usually not executed bashism.
+- Pre-releases from SVN snapshots now show "pre-VERSION" in version
+  information and 'smartctl.pre_release=true' in JSON output.
+- Linux: The generic SCSI code now defaults to SG_IO_V3 and does no
+  longer fall back to the deprecated SCSI_IOCTL_SEND_COMMAND
+  (but this ioctl is still used for '-d 3ware' and '-d marvell').
+- Solaris SPARC: Dropped legacy ATA support.  Dropped configure option
+  '--with-solaris-sparc-ata'.
+- Windows: Workaround to keep backward compatibility with old versions
+  of Windows if some versions of MinGW-w64 are used.
