           the files to the new names on upgrade.
 
+        * For almost all files the license is now LGPL2.1+, changed
+          from the previous GPL2.0+. Exceptions are some minor stuff
+          of udev (which will be changed to LGPL2.1 eventually, too),
+          and the MIT licensed sd-daemon.[ch] library that is suitable
+          to be used as drop-in files.
+
+        * systemd and logind now handle system sleep states, in
+          particulary suspending and hibernating.
+
+        * logind now implements a sleep/shutdown/idle inhibiting logic
+          suitable for a variety of uses. Soonishly Lennart will blog
+          about this in more detail.
+
+        * var-run.mount and var-lock.mount are no longer provided
+          (which prevously bind mounted these directories to their new
+          places). Distributions which have not converted these
+          directories to symlinks should consider stealing these files
+          from git history and add them downstream.
+
+        * We introduced the Documentation= field for units and added
+          this to all our shipped units. This is useful to make it
+          easier to explore that boot and the purpose of the various
+          units.
+
+        * All smaller setup units (such as
+          systemd-vconsole-setup.service) now detect properly if they
+          are run in a container and are skipped when
+          appropriate. This guarantees an entirely noise-free boot in
+          Linux container environments such as systemd-nspawn.
+
+        * A framework for implementing offline system updates is now
+          integrated, for details see:
+          http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/SystemUpdates
+
+        * A new service type Type=idle is available now which helps us
+          avoiding ugly interleaving of getty output and boot status
+          messages.
+
+        * There's now a system-wide CapabalityBoundingSet= option to
+          globally reduce the set of capabailities for the
+          system. This is useful to drop CAP_SYS_MKNOD, CAP_SYS_RAWIO,
+          CAP_NET_RAW, CAP_SYS_MODULE, CAP_SYS_TIME, CAP_SYS_PTRACE or
+          even CAP_NET_ADMIN system-wide for secure systems.
+
+        * There are now system-wide DefaultLimitXXX= options to
+          globally change the defaults of the various resource limits
+          for all units started by PID 1.
+
+        * Harald Hoyer's systemd test suite has been integrated into
+          systemd which allows easy testing of systemd builds in qemu
+          and nspawn. (This is really awesome! Ask us for details!)
+
+        * The fstab parser is now implemented as generator not inside
+          of PID 1.
+
+        * systemctl will now warn you if .mount units generated from
+          /etc/fstab are out of date due to changes in fstab that
+          haven't been read by systemd yet.
+
+        * systemd is now suitable for usage in initrds. Dracut has
+          already been updated to make use of this. With this in place
+          initrds get a slight bit faster but primarily are much
+          easier to introspect and debug since "systemctl status" in
+          the host system can be used to introspect initrd services,
+          and the journal from the initrd is kept around too.
+
+        * systemd-delta has been added, a tool to explore differences
+          between user/admin configuration and vendor defaults.
+
+        * PrivateTmp= now affects both /tmp and /var/tmp.
+
+        * Boot time status messages are now much prettier and feature
+          proper english language. Booting up systemd has never been
+          so sexy.
+
+        * Read-ahead pack files now include the inode number of all
+          files to pre-cache. When the inode changes the pre-caching
+          is not attempted. This should be nicer to deal with updated
+          packages which might result in changes of read-ahead
+          patterns.
+
+        * We now temporaritly lower the kernel's read_ahead_kb variable
+          when collecting read-ahead data to ensure the kernel's
+          built-in read-ahead does not add noise to our measurements
+          of necessary blocks to pre-cache.
+
+        * There's now RequiresMountsFor= to add automatic dependencies
+          for all mounts necessary for a specific file system path.
+
+        * MountAuto= and SwapAuto= have been removed from
+          system.conf. Mounting file systems at boot has to take place
+          in systemd now.
+
+        * nspawn now learned a new switch --uuid= to set the machine
+          ID on the command line.
+
+        * nspawn now loearned the -b switch to automatically search
+          for an init system.
+
+        * vt102 is now the default TERM for serial TTYs, upgraded from
+          vt100.
+
+        * systemd-logind now works on VT-less systems.
+
+        * The build tree has been reorganized. The individual
+          componets now have directories of their own.
+
+        * A new condition type ConditionPathIsReadWrite= is now available.
+
+        * nspawn learned the new -C switch to create cgroups for the
+          container in other hierarchies.
+
+        * We now have support for hardware watchdogs, configurable in
+          system.conf.
+
+        * The scheduled shutdown logic now has a public API.
+
+        * We now mount /tmp as tmpfs by default, but this can be
+          masked and /etc/fstab can override it.
+
+        * Since udisks doesn't make use of /media anymore we are not
+          mounting a tmpfs on it anymore.
+
+        * journalctl gained a new --local switch to only interleave
+          locally generated journal files.
+
+        * We can now load the IMA policy at boot automatically.
+
+        * The GTK tools have been split off into a systemd-ui.
