 # What's New
+
+## [v0.40.1](https://github.com/project-stacker/stacker/releases/tag/v0.40.1)
+
+* Support for `scratch`
+
+Prior to v0.40.1, `stacker` did not support empty root filesystems to be used a
+base container image. The support has now been added which can be used to host
+statically built binaries.
+
+* Support for `import`ing content into container image
+
+Prior to v0.40.1, copying content into a layer permanently involved bind
+mounting a shell such as busybox and invoking appropriate commands using the
+`run` directive. Now `import` directive allows for the `dest` option to achieve
+the same.
+
+* Some `squashfs` improvements
+
+While build squashfs layers, use `squashfuse_ll` if available which is faster.
