The SSID fills the role of the optional Network_ID input parameter
suggested by RFC7217. Including the SSID allows networkd to generate a
different pseudorandom address for different wireless networks, which
should help to obscure the host's identity when roaming between multiple
networks.
It is now enabled by default and is part of the new "v255" naming
scheme.
+ * The 'prefixstable' ipv6 address generation mode now considers the
+ SSID when genrating stable addresses, so that a different stable
+ address is used when roaming between wireless networks. If you
+ already use 'prefixstable' addresses with wireless networks, the
+ stable address chosen will be changed by the update.

Changes in systemd-analyze:
* "systemd-analyze plot" has gained tooltips on each unit name with
siphash24_compress(&link->hw_addr.infiniband[INFINIBAND_ALEN - 8], 8, &state);
else
siphash24_compress(link->hw_addr.bytes, link->hw_addr.length, &state);
+
+ if (link->ssid)
+ siphash24_compress_string(link->ssid, &state);
+
siphash24_compress(&dad_counter, sizeof(uint8_t), &state);
rid = htole64(siphash24_finalize(&state));
