         * Support for the "net_cls" cgroup controller has been added.

+        * The systemd-analyze tool gained a new "set-log-target" verb
+          to change the logging target the system manager logs to
+          dynamically during runtime. This is similar to how
+          "systemd-analyze set-log-level" already changes the log

+          enhances security slightly, and is useful for ensuring user
+          namespaces work correctly.

+
+        * The "systemctl exit" command now optionally takes an
+          additional parameter that sets the exit code to return from
+          the systemd manager when exiting. This is only relevant when
+          running the systemd user instance, or when running the

+
+        * sd-bus gained the new API calls sd_bus_path_encode_many()
+          and sd_bus_path_decode_many() that allow easy encoding and
+          decoding of multiple identifier strings inside a D-Bus
+          object path. Another new call sd_bus_default_flush_close()
+          has been added to flush and close per-thread default
+          connections.
+
+        * systemd-cgtop gained support for a -M/--machine= switch to
+          show the control groups within a certain container only.
+
+        * "systemctl kill" gained support for an optional --fail
+          switch. If specified the requested operation will fail of no
+          processes have been killed, because the unit had no
+          processes attached, or similar.
+
+        * A new (still internal) libary API sd-ipv4acd has been added,
+          that implements address conflict detection for IPv4. It's
+          based on code from sd-ipv4ll, and will be useful for
+          detecting DHCP address conflicts.
+
+        * The RuntimeDirectory= setting now understands unit
+          specifiers like %i or %f.
+
+        * networkd gained support for setting the IPv6 Router
+          Advertisment settings via IPv6AcceptRouterAdvertisements= in
+          .network files.
+
+        * udev will now create /dev/disk/by-path links for ATA devices
+          on kernels where that is supported.
+
+        * When downloading tar or raw images using "machinectl
+          pull-tar" or "machinectl pull-raw", a matching ".nspawn"
+          file is now also downloaded, if it is available and stored
+          next to the image file.
 
         * Galician, Turkish and Korean translations were added.
