 - `services.gitea` now supports CAPTCHA usage through the `services.gitea.captcha` variable.
 
+- The GRUB bootloader (`boot.loader.grub`) now generates [boot loader entries](https://uapi-group.org/specifications/specs/boot_loader_specification/).
+  These files are used by userspace tools (for example, `bootctl`) to inspect the bootloader status, getting the default boot entry, the path of the kernel binary, etc.
+  As a consequence, `systemctl kexec` now works automatically: specifying the kernel and its arguments with `kexec --load` is no longer required.

 - `bind.cacheNetworks` now only controls access for recursive queries, where it previously controlled access for all queries.
 
 - [`services.mongodb.enableAuth`](#opt-services.mongodb.enableAuth) now uses the newer [mongosh](https://github.com/mongodb-js/mongosh) shell instead of the legacy shell to configure the initial superuser. You can configure the mongosh package to use through the [`services.mongodb.mongoshPackage`](#opt-services.mongodb.mongoshPackage) option.
