 =============
 Stable release of ConsoleKit2
 
-Placeholder for breaking changes.
+This release contains breaking changes in the D-Bus API:
+- The naming scheme of Session and Seat objects was changed and now follows
+  systemd login1. The seat numbering starts from 0 and the word "seat" is now
+  in lowercase.
+- Throughout the whole D-Bus API the object ID values are no more match D-Bus
+  object paths. This means that any method that was accepting IDs in form of
+  `/org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/seatX` now accepts `seatX`. This is done for
+  systemd login1 compatibility.
+
+New Features:
+- Added the Manager.ListSessions method that behaves like systemd login1 counterpart.
+- Added the Manager.GetSession method that maps session ID to a corresponding
+  D-Bus object path.
+- sd-compat shim of libconsolekit API now implements sd_session_get_display() and
+  sd_seat_can_graphical() functions.
+- sd-compat shim gained an implementation of sd_login_monitor_* functions. This
+  implementation required kqueue/kevent with EVFILT_USER support, which means
+  that it only works on FreeBSD for now.
+
+Bug Fixes:
+- Seat.CanGraphical property is now exported on the D-Bus.
+- Fixed a crash at the end of the Session.Activate call.
+- Corrected an implementation of the ck-get-x11-server-pid utility for FreeBSD.
+
+Misc Changes:
+- Add -s/--service argument to the ck-launch-session utility that allows setting
+  otherwise read-only "session-service" property of the Session object.
