+==========
+- fixed dmsetup shutdown
+- new kernel command line option "rd.live.overlay.thin"
+    This option changes the underlying mechanism for the overlay in the
+    dmsquash module.
+    Instead of a plain dm snapshot a dm thin snapshot is used. The advantage
+    of the thin snapshot is, that the TRIM command is recognized, which
+    means that at runtime, only the occupied blocks will be claimed from
+    memory, and freed blocks will really be freed in ram.
+- dmsquash: Add squashfs support to rd.live.fsimg
+    Previously rd.live.fsimg only supported filesystems residing in
+    (compressed) archives.
+    Now rd.live.fsimg can also be used when a squashfs image is used.
+    This is achieved by extracting the rootfs image from the squashfs and
+    then continue with the default routines for rd.live.fsimg.
+- lvm: add support for LVM system id
+- split up the systemd dracut module
+    Basic systemd functionality is in 00systemd now.
+    Switching root and the initrd.target is in 00systemd-initrd.
+    Dracut additions to the systemd initrd are in 98dracut-systemd.
+- support for creating a UEFI boot executable via argument "--uefi"
+    With an EFI stub, the kernel, the initramfs and a kernel cmdline can be
+    glued together to a single UEFI executable, which can be booted by a
+    UEFI BIOS.
+- network: split out kernel-network-modules, now in 90kernel-network-modules
+- support for ethernet point-to-point connections configured via DHCP
+- kernel-modules: install all HID drivers
+- dracut.pc pkg-config file
+- mount /dev, /dev/shm and /run noexec
+

 ==========
 - fixed the shutdown loop
