+===========
+40.0 Dr Who
+===========
+
+The Avocado team is proud to present another release:
+Avocado version 40.0, aka, "Dr Who", is now available!
+
+The major changes introduced on this version are listed below.
+
+* The introduction of a tool that generated a diff-like report of two
+  jobs.  For more information on this feature, please check out its
+  own :ref:`documentation <job_diff_>`.
+
+* The :mod:`avocado.utils.process` library has been enhanced by adding
+  the :meth:`avocado.utils.process.SubProcess.get_pid` method, and also by
+  logging the command name, status and execution time when verbose
+  mode is set.
+
+* The introduction of a `rr <http://rr-project.org>`_ based wrapper.
+  With such a wrapper, it's possible to transparently record the
+  process state (when executed via the :mod:`avocado.utils.process`
+  APIs), and deterministically replay them later.
+
+* The coredump generation contrib scripts will check if the user
+  running Avocado is privileged to actually generate those dumps.
+  This means that it won't give errors in the UI about failures on
+  pre/post scripts, but will record that in the appropriate job log.
+
+* BUGFIX: The ``--remote-no-copy`` command line option, when added to the
+  ``--remote-*`` options that actually trigger the remote execution of
+  tests, will now skip the local test discovery altogether.
+
+* BUGFIX: The use of the asset fetcher by multiple avocado executions
+  could result in a race condition.  This is now fixed, backed by a
+  file based utility lock library: :mod:`avocado.utils.filelock`.
+
+* BUGFIX: The asset fetcher will now properly check the hash on
+  ``file:`` based URLs.
+
+* BUGFIX: A busy loop in the :mod:`avocado.utils.process` library that
+  was reported by our users was promptly fixed.
+
+* BUGFIX: Attempts to install Avocado on bare bones environments, such
+  as virtualenvs, won't fail anymore due to dependencies required at
+  ``setup.py`` execution time.  Of course Avocado still requires some
+  external Python libraries, but these will only be required after
+  installation.  This should let users to ``pip install avocado-framework``
+  successfully.
+
+For more information, please check out the complete
+`Avocado changelog
+<https://github.com/avocado-framework/avocado/compare/39.0...40.0>`_.
