+CHANGES WITH 234:
+
+        * Meson is now supported as build system in addition to Automake. It is
+          our plan to remove Automake in one of our next releases, so that
+          Meson becomes our exclusive build system. Hence, please start using
+          the Meson build system in your downstream packaging. There's plenty
+          of documentation around how to use Meson, the extremely brief
+          summary:
+
+              ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make && sudo make install
+
+          becomes:
+
+              meson build && ninja -C build && sudo ninja -C build install
+
+        * Unit files gained support for a new JobRunningTimeoutUSec= setting,
+          which permits configuring a timeout on the time a job is
+          running. This is particularly useful for setting timeouts on jobs for
+          .device units.
+
+        * Unit files gained two new options ConditionUser= and ConditionGroup=
+          for conditionalizing units based on the identity of the user/group
+          running a systemd user instance.
+
+        * systemd-networkd now understands a new FlowLabel= setting in the
+          [VXLAN] section of .network files, as well as a Priority= in
+          [Bridge], GVRP= + MVRP= + LooseBinding= + ReorderHeader= in [VLAN]
+          and GatewayOnlink= + IPv6Preference= + Protocol= in [Route]. It also
+          gained support for configuration of GENEVE links, and IPv6 address
+          labels. The [Network] section gained the new IPv6ProxyNDP= setting.
+
+        * .link files now understand the new Port= setting.
+
+        * systemd-networkd's DHCP support gained support for DHCP option 119
+          (domain search list).
+
+        * systemd-networkd gained support for serving IPv6 address ranges using
+          the Router Advertisment protocol. The new .network configuration
+          section [IPv6Prefix] may be used to configure the ranges to
+          serve. This is implemented based on a new, minimal, native server
+          implementation of RA.
+
+        * journalctl's --output= switch gained support for a new parameter
+          "short-iso-precise" for a mode where timestamps are shown as precise
+          ISO date values.
+
+        * systemd-udevd's "net_id" builtin may now generate stable network
+          interface names from IBM PowerVM VIO devices as well as ACPI platform
+          devices.
+
+        * MulticastDNS support in systemd-resolved may now be explicitly
+          enabled/disabled using the new MulticastDNS= configuration file
+          option.
+
+        * systemd-resolved may now optionally use libidn2 instead of the libidn
+          for processing internationalized domain names. The old version
+          remains supported, as it has a much smaller footprint.
+
+        * "machinectl pull-tar" and related call may now do verification of
+          downloaded images using SUSE-style .sha256 checksum files in addition
+          to the already existing support for validating using Ubuntu-style
+          SHA256SUMS files.
+
+        * sd-bus gained support for a new sd_bus_message_appendv() call which
+          is va_list equivalent of sd_bus_message_append().
+
+        * sd-boot gained support for validating images using SHIM/MOK.
+
+        * The SMACK code learnt support for "onlycap".
+
+        * systemd-mount --umount is now much smarter in figuring out how to
+          properly unmount a device given its mount or device path.
 
         * The code to call libnss_dns as a fallback from libnss_resolve when
           the communication with systemd-resolved fails was removed. This

           is empty, all plugins should not put anything in BOOT_DIR_ABS.
