           unit file enabling and disabling.
 
+        * "udevadm hwdb --update" learnt a new switch "--usr" for
+          placing the rebuilt hardware database in /usr instead of
+          /etc. When used only hardware database entries stored in
+          /usr will be used, and any user database entries in /etc are
+          ignored. This functionality is useful for vendors to ship a
+          pre-built database on systems where local configuration is
+          unnecessary or unlikely.
+
+        * Calendar time specifications in .timer units now also
+          understand the strings "semi-annually", "quarterly" and
+          "minutely" as shortcuts (in addition to the pre-existing
+          "anually", "hourly", ...).
+
+        * systemd-tmpfiles will now correctly create files in /dev
+          at boot which are marked for creation only at boot. It is
+          recommended to always create static device nodes with 'c!'
+          and 'b!', so that they are created only at boot and not
+          overwritten at runtime.
