+kmod 18
+=======
+
+- Bug fixes:
+       - Fix leaks in error paths
+       - Fix use-after-free in hash implementation causing a wrong index to be
+         generated by depmod with out-of-tree modules
+
+- New features:
+       - Calling depmod with modules creating a dependency loop will now make
+         depmod return an error and not update the indexes. This is to protect
+         the current index not being overridden by another index that may cause
+         a boot failure, depending on the buggy module. It's a necessary
+         change in behavior regarding previous kmod releases and
+         module-init-tools. The error message was also improved to output
+         the modules that caused the dependency cycle.
+
+- Improvements to testsuite:
+       - Fix and improve expected-fail test
+       - Add tests for hashmap implementation
