+### New features and enhancements
+- Enhancement: Duplicate log messages into syslog according to "zowe.sysMessages" array [#93](https://github.com/zowe/launcher/pull/93)
+
 ### Minor enhancements/defect fixes
 - Bugfix: Fixed that Zowe would allow newer Java versions to generate PKCS12 keystores that was not compatible with some components. Newer versions of Java by default create PKCS12 keystores that aren't compatible with GSK / SystemSSL which components such as ZSS use, but include flags to restore a compatibility mode, which Zowe now uses. (#3507)
