 - Kanidm previously had an incorrect systemd service type, causing dependent units with an `after` and `requires` directive to start before `kanidm*` finished startup. The module has now been updated in line with upstream recommendations.
 
+- The kubelet configuration file can now be amended with arbitrary additional content using the `services.kubernetes.kubelet.extraConfig` option.
+
 - To facilitate dependency injection, the `imgui` package now builds a static archive using vcpkg' CMake rules.
   The derivation now installs "impl" headers selectively instead of by a wildcard.
   Use `imgui.src` if you just want to access the unpacked sources.
