+- Enable support for zstd compression
+
+  systemd-journald will now use zstd for compressing large fields in
+  journal files. systemd-coredump will also use this algorithm to
+  compress coredump files.
+
+  Please note that systemd older than v246 won't be able to read new
+  journal files as zstd algorithm is not supported by these versions.
+
+  This incompatible change was actually not the only one introduced by
+  v246 since the hash tables in journal files have been hardened
+  against hash collisions too in an incompatible way with older
+  versions.
