+    *** Release 9.0.0 ***
+
+    Noteworthy changes compared to the previous release, 8.7.0:
+
+    Breaking changes:
+        - Support for the ext2/3/4 filesystems has been once again dropped due
+          to lack of maintainance and to avoid extra potential attack surface
+          during Secure Boot Limine usage.
+        - Drop support for the legacy config format (limine.cfg) and only keep
+          around the new one (limine.conf) introduced with Limine 8.x.
+        - Drop support for the (barely worked and seldom used) `chainload_next`
+          protocol.
+
+    New features:
+        - Limine boot protocol: Introduce API revision 3, for the `limine.h`
+          file with several renamed identifiers for better clarity.
+        - Limine boot protocol: Specify and implement a new, convenience,
+          "Executable Command Line feature".
+        - Limine boot protocol: Use monitor/mwait CPU instructions, when
+          available, to reduce CPU usage and increase performance during
+          multiprocessor initialisation.
+        - Add preferred aliases for BIOS and EFI chainload (namely `bios` and
+          `efi`) protocol names for the `protocol` config option.
+
+    Bug fixes:
+        - EFI (chainload) boot protocol: Fix `path` option alias not working.
+
+    Miscellaneous:
+        - Update Flanterm submodule to latest.
