         * The modprobe.d/ drop-in for the bonding.ko kernel module introduced
           in v235 has been extended to also set the dummy.ko module option
           numdummies=0, preventing the kernel from automatically creating
           dummy0. All dummy interfaces must now be explicitly created.

-        * Unknown specifiers are now rejected. This applies to units and
-          tmpfiles.d configuration. Any percent characters that are followed by
-          a letter or digit that are not supposed to be interpreted as the
-          beginning of a specifier should be escaped by doubling ("%%").
-          (So "size=5%" is still accepted, as well as "size=5%,foo=bar", but
-          not "LABEL=x%y%z" since %y and %z are not valid specifiers today.)

+        * In /etc/fstab two new mount options are now understood:
+          x-systemd.makefs and x-systemd.growfs. The former has the effect that
+          the configured file system is formatted before it is mounted, the
+          latter that the file system is resized to the full block device size
+          after it is mounted (i.e. if the file system is smaller than the
+          partition it resides on, it's grown). This is similar to the fsck
+          logic in /etc/fstab, and pulls in systemd-makefs@.service and
+          systemd-growfs@.service as necessary, similar to
+          systemd-fsck@.service. Resizing is currently only supported on ext4
+          and btrfs.

         * In systemd-networkd, the IPv6 RA logic now optionally may announce
           DNS server and domain information.

+        * A new document UIDS-GIDS.md has been added to the source tree, that
+          documents the UID/GID range and assignment assumptions and
+          requirements of systemd.
+
+        * The watchdog device PID 1 will ping may now be configured through the
+          WatchdogDevice= configuration file setting, or by setting the
+          systemd.watchdog_service= kernel commandline option.
+
+        * systemd-resolved's gained support for registering DNS-SD services on
+          the local network using MulticastDNS. Services may either be
+          registered by dropping in a .dnssd file in /etc/systemd/dnssd/ (or
+          the same dir below /run, /usr/lib), or through its D-Bus API.
+
+        * The sd_notify() protocol can now with EXTEND_TIMEOUT_USEC=microsecond
+          extend the effective start, runtime, and stop time. The service must
+          continue to send EXTEND_TIMEOUT_USEC within the period specified to
+          prevent the service manager from making the service as timedout.
+
+        * systemd-resolved's DNSSEC support gained support for RFC 8080
+          (Ed25519 keys and signatures).
+
+        * The systemd-resolve command line tool gained a new set of options
+          --set-dns=, --set-domain=, --set-llmnr=, --set-mdns=, --set-dnssec=,
+          --set-nta= and --revert to configure per-interface DNS configuration
+          dynamically during runtime. It's useful for pushing DNS information
+          into systemd-resolved from DNS hook scripts that various interface
+          managing software supports (such as pppd).
+
+        * systemd-nspawn gained a new --network-namespace-path= command line
+          option, which may be used to make a container join an existing
+          network namespace, by specifying a path to a "netns" file.
