+## New feature option type
+
+A new type of option can be defined in `meson_options.txt` for the traditional
+`enabled / disabled / auto` tristate. The value of this option can be passed to
+the `required` keyword argument of functions `dependency()`, `find_library()`,
+`find_program()` and `add_languages()`.
+
+A new global option `auto_features` has been added to override the value of all
+`auto` features. It is intended to be used by packagers to have full control on
+which feature must be enabled or disabled.
