+ * The v230 change to tag framebuffer devices (/dev/fb*) with "uaccess"
+ to make them available to logged-in users has been reverted.

+ * Much of the common code of the various systemd components is now
+ built into an internal shared library libsystemd-shared-231.so
+ (incorporating the systemd version number in the name, to be updated
+ with future releases) that the components link to. This should
+ decrease systemd footprint both in memory during runtime and on
+ disk. Note that the shared library is not for public use, and is
+ neither API not ABI stable, but is likely to change with every new
+ released version. Packagers need to make sure that any package built
+ from the systemd sources has a strict versioned dependency on the
+ right package for this shared library.
* Configuration for "mkosi" is now part of the systemd
repository. mkosi is a tool to easily build legacy-free OS images,
