 - Neo4j was updated from version 3 to version 4. See this [migration guide](https://neo4j.com/docs/upgrade-migration-guide/current/) on how to migrate your Neo4j instance.
 
+- The `networking.wireguard` module now can set the mtu on interfaces and tag its packets with an fwmark.
+
 - The `services.matrix-synapse` systemd unit has been hardened.
 
 - Matrix Synapse now requires entries in the `state_group_edges` table to be unique, in order to prevent accidentally introducing duplicate information (for example, because a database backup was restored multiple times). If your Synapse database already has duplicate rows in this table, this could fail with an error and require manual remediation.
