+### Mock 5.5 New Features
+
+- New `write_tar` option for `chroot_scan` plugin [added][PR#1324].  Without it,
+  directory structure is created in `resultdir`.  If `write_tar` is set to
+  `True`, `chroot_scan.tar.gz` tarball will be created instead.
+
+- A new `{{ repo_arch }}` Jinja2 template (templated-dictionary) is provided
+  by Mock.  This variable is usable for DNF config options denoting URLs like
+  `baseurl=`, `metalink=`, etc.  Namely, it can be used instead of the DNF-native
+  `$basearch` variable which [doesn't work properly for all the
+  distributions][issue#1304].  The new `config_opts['repo_arch_map']` option has
+  been added too, if additional tweaks with `repo_arch` template need to be done.
+
+- Previously, only the file sizes were reported by the hw_info plugin:
+
+  ~~~
+  Filesystem                                             Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
+  /dev/mapper/luks-3aa4fbe3-5a19-4025-b70c-1d3038b76bd4  399G  9.1G  373G   3% /
+  /dev/mapper/luks-3aa4fbe3-5a19-4025-b70c-1d3038b76bd4  399G  9.1G  373G   3% /
+  ~~~
+
+  Newly, [also file system type is reported][issue#1263]:

+
+### Mock 5.5 Bugfixes
+
+- The Bash completion script has been fixed to properly complete arguments
+  of [multi-arg options][issue#1279] like `--install` or `--chain`.  This
+  bug-fix is a follow-up for fix related to [issue#746][].
+
+- Mock [has been][PR#1322] [fixed][commit#27dde5da] so that it no longer
+  inadvertently changes the group ownership of the in-chroot $HOME directory
+  to the wrong group ID.  In previous versions of Mock, the group ownership
+  was changed to the effective group ID of the user on the host that
+  executed Mock.  This could confuse some tools during the build process, as
+  they might want to create similarly owned files at the `rpmbuild` time
+  (but that assumption would be incorrect, such GID doesn't exist
+  in-chroot).  Now, Mock changes the files to the `mockbuild:mock`
+  ownership, where the `mock` group ID is always 135 (the same GID on host
+  and in-chroot).  This matches the effective GID for the `rpmbuild`
+  process, ensuring that the tools executed during the build process have
+  full control over such files.
+
+  While on this, Mock was also [optimized][commit#db64d468202] to do this
+  ownership change before, and only if, the `rpmbuild` process is started
+  (so e.g. plain `mock --chroot` commands do not touch the file ownership at
+  all).
+
+- The `mock` package has been fixed to depend on precisely the same version
+  of `mock-filesystem` sub-package (product of the same rpm build).  This is
+  to protect against incompatible Mock sub-package installations.
+
+- Mock parses the DNF configuration specified in `config_opts["dnf.conf"]` itself
+  to perform some post-processing tasks, such as bind-mounting the on-host repo
+  directories into the bootstrap chroot based on this DNF config.  In previous
+  versions of Mock, there was an issue where it failed to parse the DNF config if
+  some of the DNF options contained the '%' symbol.  This was due to Python's
+  ConfigParser raising an %-interpolation exception that was ignored but Mock, but
+  resulting in Mock ignoring the rest of the config file and finishing without
+  performing the mentioned bind-mounts.  This bug has been fixed, and the '%' sign
+  is no longer considered to be a special Python ConfigParser character.
+
+- The `root_cache` plugin is designed to invalidate the cache tarball whenever the
+  corresponding Mock configuration changes (any file in the list
+  `config_opts['config_paths']` changes).  This cache invalidation mechanism had
+  been broken since Mock v3.2 when we rewrote the configuration file loader and
+  inadvertently broke the `config_opts['config_paths']`.  The config loader [has
+  now been fixed][PR#1322], and the cache invalidation works again as expected.
+
+### Mock Core Configs 40.1 changes
+
+- Configuration files for Fedora 40 have been branched from Rawhide,
+  according to the [Fedora 40 Schedule](https://fedorapeople.org/groups/schedule/f-40/f-40-all-tasks.html).
+
+- Mageia 7 configs [marked as end-of-life][PR#1316].
+
+- Mageia config files started using the `{{ repo_arch }}` option to fix the
+  [cross-arch builds][issue#1317].
+
+- The OpenMandriva i686 chroots [have been marked as end-of-life][PR#1315], fixing
+  [issue#987][] and [issue#1012][].
+
+- [Added][PR#1283] a config option called "use_host_shadow_utils", to account for situations where
+  users have host shadow-utils configurations that cannot provision or destroy users and
+  groups in the buildroot; one example of this kind of configuration is using
+  FreeIPA-provided subids on the buildhost. The option defaults to True since mock has made a conscious
+  design decision to prefer using the host's shadow-utils, and we hope that this is a
+  temporary workaround. Upstream issue is being tracked [here](https://github.com/shadow-maint/shadow/issues/897).
