 - Added `VolatilePackages=` and `InitrdVolatilePackages=` to configure
   packages that should be installed after executing build scripts and
   which should not be cached when using `Incremental=`.
+- `PackageDirectories=` now has an associated default path
+  `mkosi.packages`.
+- `reprepro` is now used to generate local apt repositories.
+- Support for BSD tar/cpio was dropped.
+- When both `ExtraSearchPaths=` and `ToolsTree=` are used, mkosi will
+  now prefer running a binary found in `ExtraSearchPaths=` without the
+  tools tree over running the binary from the tools tree. If a binary is
+  not found in `ExtraSearchPaths=`, the tools tree is used instead.
+- An artifact directory is now made available when running scripts which
+  can be used to pass around data between different scripts. mkosi will
+  also look for microcode and initrds in the artifact directory under
+  the `io.mkosi.microcode` and `io.mkosi.initrd` subdirectories.
+- Added `Environment=` match setting to check for environment variables
+  defined with the `Environment=` setting.
+- The `basesystem` package is now always installed in Fedora and
+  CentOS images instead of the `filesystem` package.
+- The `qemu`, `shell` and `boot` verbs do not automatically build the
+  image anymore unless `--force` is specified.
+- `SplitArtifacts=` is now supported for the portable, sysext and
+  confext outputs.
+- The `WithDocs=` option was implemented for pacman-based distributions.
+- The default Fedora release was bumped to 40.
+- `QemuSwtpm=` can now be used with `QemuFirmware=` set to `linux` or
+  `bios`.
+- Added `UnitProperties=` to allow configure properties on the scopes
+  generated by `systemd-nspawn` and `systemd-run`.
+- mkosi now only builds a single default tools tree per build using the
+  settings from the last regular image that we'll build.
+- Configure scripts are now only executed for verbs which imply an image
+  build and are executed with the tools tree instead of without it.
+- `$QEMU_ARCHITECTURE` is now set for configure scripts to easily allow
+  scripts to figure out which qemu binary will be used to run qemu.
+- A file ID can now be specified for `QemuDrives=`. This allows adding
+  multiple qemu drives that are backed by the same file.
+- mkosi doesn't fail anymore if images already exist when running
+  `mkosi build`.
+- Image names from `mkosi.images/` are now preferred over the specified
+  image ID when determining the output filename to use for an image.
+- `--include` now has a shorthand option `-I`.
+- The `WITH_NETWORK` environment variable is now passed to build and
+  finalize scripts.
+- We now clamp mtimes to the specified source date epoch timestamp
+  instead of resetting all mtimes. This means that we won't touch any
+  mtimes that are already older than the given source date epoch
+  timestamp.
+- Removed support for CentOS 8 Stream as it is now EOL.
+- The `coredumpctl` and `journalctl` verbs now operrate on the path
+  specified in `ForwardJournal=` if one is set.
+- Added `UnifiedKernelImage=` format setting to allow configuring the
+  naming of unified kernel images generated by mkosi.
+- The `versionlock` plugin is now enabled by default for dnf with a noop
+  configuration.
+- `Repositories=` is now implemented for zypper.
