+dracut-052
+==========
+
+#### Features
+
+- **dracut:**
+  - allow overriding the systemctl command for sysroot with `$SYSTEMCTL` for cross compilation
+  - add additional global variables
+
+     Variables like `dbusconfdir` or `systemdnetwork` are now exported
+     to the individual modules as global variables. If they are not set
+     in the distribution dracut config files, they are set via `pkg-config`
+
+  - A `--no-uefi` option as been added to the CLI options to disable a default `uefi=yes`
+    set by a configuration file.
+
+- **kernel-modules:**  add modules from `drivers/memory` for arm
+- **network-legacy:**  send dhcp in parallel on all devices via the `single-dhcp` option
+- **dbus:**  introduce a meta module for dbus
+- **dbus-broker:**  introduce the dbus-broker module
+- **dbus-daemon:**  introduce the dbus-daemon module
+- **systemd-ask-password:**  introduce the systemd-ask-password module
+- **systemd-coredump:**  introduce the systemd-coredump module
+- **systemd-modules-load:**  introduce the systemd-modules-load module
+- **systemd-repart:**  introduce the systemd-repart module
+- **systemd-sysctl:**  introduce the systemd-sysctl module
+- **systemd-sysusers:** introduce the systemd-sysuser module
+
+#### Bug Fixes
+
+-   first round of shellcheck for all shell scripts
+-   revise all module checks to not error out about missing dependencies
+-   use the top-level `/efi` path to address the EFI partition
+-   correct the squash quirk
+-   use `find_binary` instead of other methods, because `find_binary` honors `dracutsysrootdir`
+-   quote globbing in module-setup.sh for `inst_multiple`
+-   move ldconfig after library workaround
+-   do not set cmdline for uefi images unless asked
+- **dracut:**  don't override `PATH`, if `dracutsysrootdir` is set
+- **dracut-functions.sh:**  check kernel config from `dracutsysrootdir`
+- **dracut-init.sh:**  make inst_libdir_file work with `dracutsysrootdir` set
+- **dracut-install:**  allow globbing for multiple sources
+- **06dbus:**
+  -  do not hardcode path to dbus utils
+  -  do not hardcode path to systemd unit
+- **uefi**  use efivars fs over the deprecated sysfs entries
+- **keyring**  adding shared keyring mode to systemd unit `dracut-pre-pivot.service`
+- **35network-manager:**  avoid restarting NetworkManager
+- **90kernel-modules:**  install generic crypto modules with hostonly unset
+- **99squash:**  use kernel config instead of modprobe to check modules
+- **dbus-daemon:**  use uid/gid from sysroot if `dracutsysrootdir` is set
+- **kernel-modules:**  add reset controllers for arm
+- **kernel-network-modules:**  also install modules from mdio subdirectory
+- **mdraid:**
+  -  remove the `offroot` option (long deprecated)
+  -  add the grow continue service `mdadm-grow-continue`
+- **network-legacy:**  silent the check for dhcp leaseinfo
+- **network-manager:**  allow override network manager version
+- **plymouth:**  install binaries with dependencies
+- **shutdown:**  add timeout to umount calls
+- **watchdog:**  fix dependencies in `module-setup.sh`
