+
+* RBD: The semantics of compare-and-write C++ API (`Image::compare_and_write`
+  and `Image::aio_compare_and_write` methods) now match those of C API.  Both
+  compare and write steps operate only on `len` bytes even if the respective
+  buffers are larger. The previous behavior of comparing up to the size of
+  the compare buffer was prone to subtle breakage upon straddling a stripe
+  unit boundary.
+* RBD: compare-and-write operation is no longer limited to 512-byte sectors.
+  Assuming proper alignment, it now allows operating on stripe units (4M by
+  default).
