+## [0.4.0] - unreleased
+
+## Changed
+
+- Major refactoring in `PSparseMatrix` (and in `PVector` in a lesser extent).
+The old code is still available (but deprecated), and can be recovered applying this renaming to your code-base:
+  - `PSparseMatrix -> OldPSparseMatrix`
+  - `psparse! -> old_psparse!`
+  - `pvector! -> old_pvector!`
+  - `trivial_partition -> old_trivial_partition`
+
+- The default parallel sparse matrix format is now split into 4 blocks corresponding to own/ghost columns/rows.
+The previous "monolithic" storage is not implemented anymore for the new version of `PSparseMatrix`, but can be implemented in the new setup if needed.
+- `emit` renamed to `multicast`. The former name is still available but deprecated.
+
+## Added
+
+- Efficient re-construction of `PSparseMatrix` and `PVector` objects.
+- Functions `assemble` and `consistent` (allocating versions of `assemble!` and `consistent!` with a slightly different
+treatment of the ghost rows).
+- Function `consistent` for `PSparseMatrix`.
+- Functions `repartition` and `repartition!` used to change the data partition of `PSparseMatrix` and `PVector` objects.
+- Functions `psystem` and `psystem!` for generating a system matrix and vector at once.
+- Function `trivial_partition`.
+- Support for sub-assembled matrices in `PSparseMatrix`.
