+-  `jsDelivr <https://www.jsdelivr.com/`>__ now offers a new Content Delivery
+   Network (CDN) to Yocto Project users, which is completely free of charge
+   for Open Source projects. In particular, it can be used to efficiently
+   access prebuilt binary artifacts (see :term:`SSTATE_MIRRORS`) from many
+   different locations in the world. This is available to all supported Poky
+   releases.

 -  The ``-crosssdk`` suffix and any :term:`MLPREFIX` were removed from
    ``virtual/XXX`` provider/dependencies where a ``PREFIX`` was used as well,
    as we don't need both and it made automated dependency rewriting
