+## Portability improvements to Boost Dependency
+
+The Boost dependency has been improved to better detect the various
+ways to install boost on multiple platforms. At the same time the
+`modules` semantics for the dependency has been changed. Previously it
+was allowed to specify header directories as `modules` but it wasn't
+required. Now, modules are only used to specify libraries that require
+linking.
+
+This is a breaking change and the fix is to remove all modules that aren't
+found.
+
+## Generator learned capture
+
+Generators can now be configured to capture the standard output. See
+`test cases/common/98 gen extra/meson.build` for an example.
+
+## Can index CustomTarget objects
+
+The `CustomTarget` object can now be indexed like an array. The
+resulting object can be used as a source file for other Targets, this
+will create a dependency on the original `CustomTarget`, but will only
+insert the generated file corresponding to the index value of the
+`CustomTarget`'s `output` keyword.
+
+```meson
+c = custom_target(
+  ...
+  output : ['out.h', 'out.c'],
+)
+lib1 = static_library(
+  'lib1',
+  [lib1_sources, c[0]],
+  ...
+)
+exec = executable(
+  'executable',
+  c[1],
+  link_with : lib1,
+)
+```
+
+## Can override executables in the cross file
+
+The cross file can now be used for overriding the result of
+`find_program`. As an example if you want to find the `objdump`
+command and have the following definition in your cross file:
+
+```ini
+[binaries]
+...
+objdump = '/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-objdump-6'
+```
+
+Then issuing the command `find_program('objdump')` will return the
+version specified in the cross file. If you need the build machine's
+objdump, you can specify the `native` keyword like this:
+
+```meson
+native_objdump = find_program('objdump', native : true)
+```
+
+## Easier handling of supported compiler arguments
+
+A common pattern for handling multiple desired compiler arguments, was
+to test their presence and add them to an array one-by-one, e.g.:
+
+```meson
+warning_flags_maybe = [
+  '-Wsomething',
+  '-Wanother-thing',
+  '-Wno-the-other-thing',
+]
+warning_flags = []
+foreach flag : warning_flags_maybe
+  if cc.has_argument(flag)
+    warning_flags += flag
+  endif
+endforeach
+cc.add_project_argument(warning_flags)
+```
+
+A helper has been added for the foreach/has_argument pattern, so you
+can now simply do:
+
+```meson
+warning_flags = [ ... ]
+flags = cc.get_supported_arguments(warning_flags)
+```
+
+## Better support for shared libraries in non-system paths
+
+Meson has support for prebuilt object files and static libraries. This
+release adds feature parity to shared libraries that are either in
+non-standard system paths or shipped as part of your project. On
+systems that support rpath, Meson automatically adds rpath entries to
+built targets using manually found external libraries.
+
+This means that e.g. supporting prebuilt libraries shipped with your
+source or provided by subprojects or wrap definitions by writing a
+build file like this:
+
+```meson
+project('myprebuiltlibrary', 'c')
+
+cc = meson.get_compiler('c')
+prebuilt = cc.find_library('mylib', dirs : meson.current_source_dir())
+mydep = declare_dependency(include_directories : include_directories('.'),
+                           dependencies : prebuilt)
+```
+
+Then you can use the dependency object in the same way as any other.
+
+## wrap-svn
+
+The [Wrap dependency system](Wrap-dependency-system-manual.md) now
+supports [Subversion](https://subversion.apache.org/) (svn). This
+support is rudimentary. The repository url has to point to a specific
+(sub)directory containing the `meson.build` file (typically `trunk/`).
+However, providing a `revision` is supported.
