     * Dusty app and lib spec filenames must now abide by Docker image naming conventions: `[a-z0-9]+(?:[._-][a-z0-9]+)*`. Your file name must start with a number or lowercase letter, cannot have uppercase letters, and can only have `.`, `_`, and `-` as special characters.
     * Dusty requires Docker Machine 0.5.0+
 * **New**
+    * Added `dusty shutdown` command to shut down Dusty's virtual machine
     * Added `--only` flag to `bundles activate` which makes it easier to turn on a selection of bundles and deactivate all others
     * Added support for SCP style GitHub urls. Example: git@github.com:gamechanger/dusty.git
     * Added `image_requires_login` key to specs which can specify Docker images to pull. If set, Dusty will make sure the user is logged in to this image's repository before trying to pull the image
