 Overview of changes since NetworkManager-1.52
 =============================================
-* Fail early if we cannot get current FEC
-  (Forward Error Correction) value.
-* Allow reapplying ovs-bridge and ovs-port properties.
+
+* Add support for configuring per-device IPv4 forwarding via the
+  "ipv4.forwarding" connection property.
+* Add a new "prefix-delegation" setting containing a "subnet-id"
+  property that specifies the subnet to choose on the downstream
+  interface when using IPv6 prefix delegation.
+* Support OCI baremetal in nm-cloud-setup
 * When activating a WireGuard connection to an IPv6 endpoint, now
   NetworkManager creates firewall rules to ensure that the incoming
   packets are not dropped by kernel reverse path filtering.
+* Add support for configuring the loopback interface in nmtui.
+* Most of the properties of ovs-bridge and ovs-port connections can
+  now be reapplied at runtime without bringing the connection down.
+* Add a new "sriov.preserve-on-down" property that controls whether
+  NetworkManager preserves the SR-IOV parameters set on the device
+  when the connection is deactivated, or whether it resets them to
+  their default value.
+* Introduce a new "ovs-dpdk.lsc-interrupt" property to configure the
+  Link State Change (LSC) detection mode for OVS DPDK interfaces.
+* The initrd-generator now can parse the NVMe Boot Firmware Table
+  (NBFT) to configure networking during early boot.
+* Add systemd services to provide networking in the initrd.
