+## Added option to introspect multiple parameters at once
+
+Meson introspect can now print the results of multiple introspection
+commands in a single call. The results are then printed as a single JSON
+object.
+
+The format for a single command was not changed to keep backward
+compatibility.
+
+Furthermore the option `-a,--all`, `-i,--indent` and `-f,--force-object-output`
+were added to print all introspection information in one go, format the
+JSON output (the default is still compact JSON) and force use the new
+output format, even if only one introspection command was given.
+
+A complete introspection dump is also stored in the `meson-info`
+directory. This dump will be (re)generated each time meson updates the
+configuration of the build directory.
+
+Additionlly the format of `meson introspect target` was changed:
+
+  - New: the `sources` key. It stores the source files of a target and their compiler parameters.
+  - Added new target types (`jar`, `shared module`).
