+
+### Cross Compliation
+
+With this release, Converge will no longer include cross compilation for freebsd and solaris.
+
+### Module Improvements
+
+#### Systemd
+
+Support for controlling systemd services has been added via [\#602](https://github.com/asteris-llc/converge/pull/602).
+
+```hcl
+systemd.unit.state "ssh" {
+  unit  = "ssh.service"
+  state = "running"
+}
+```
+
+#### Unarchive
+
+Managing several archive formats such as `zip` and `tar.gz` is available through unarchive support in [\#592](https://github.com/asteris-llc/converge/pull/592).
+
+```hcl
+unarchive "consul.zip" {
+  source      = "/tmp/consul.zip"
+  destination = "/tmp/consul"
+}
+```
+
+#### User
+
+A user can now be enabled or disabled with the addition of [\#581](https://github.com/asteris-llc/converge/pull/581).
+
+Additionally, there are updates to the diffs presented for user with [\#584](https://github.com/asteris-llc/converge/pull/584) and [\#588](https://github.com/asteris-llc/converge/pull/588).
+
+### Usablilty Enhancements
+
+#### Module Author Improvement
+
+A new helper method has been added to for use with `resource.Status`. `RaiseLevelForDiffs` will raise the status level to `StatusWillChange` if any differences exist via [\#587](https://github.com/asteris-llc/converge/pull/587).
+
+#### Various Generators
+
+Generators for man pages and bash autocompletion have been added via [\#571](https://github.com/asteris-llc/converge/pull/571).
