+Stratis 3.7.1, which consists of `stratisd 3.7.1` and `stratis-cli 3.7.0`
+includes one significant enhancement, several minor enhancements, and a
+number of small improvements.
+
+Most significantly, Stratis 3.7.1 extends its functionality to allow a user
+to revert a snapshot, i.e., to overwrite a Stratis filesystem with a
+previously taken snapshot of that filesystem. The process of reverting  
+requires two steps. First, a snapshot must be scheduled for revert. However,
+the revert can only take place when a pool is started. This can be done
+while `stratisd` is running, by stopping and then restarting the pool. A
+revert may also be occasioned by a reboot of the system `stratisd` is running
+on. Restarting `stratisd` will also cause a scheduled revert to occur, 
+so long as the pool containing the filesystem to be reverted has already
+been stopped. To support this functionality, `stratis-cli` includes
+two new filesystem subcommands, `schedule-revert` and `cancel-revert`.
+
+Some additional functionality has been added to support this revert 
+functionality. First, a filesystem's origin field is now included
+among its D-Bus properties and updated as appropriate. `stratis-cli`
+displays an origin value in its newly introduced filesystem detail view.
+`stratisd` also support a new filesystem  D-Bus method which returns the
+filesystem metadata. The filesystem debug commands in `stratis-cli` now
+include a `get-metadata` option which will display the filesytem metadata
+for a given pool or filesystem. Equivalent functionality has been
+introduced for the pool metadata as well.
+
+`stratisd` also includes a considerable number of dependency version bumps,
+minor fixes and additional testing, while `stratis-cli` includes
+improvements to its command-line parsing implementation.

+Please consult the [stratisd] and [stratis-cli] changelogs for additional
+information about the release.
