* Added support for HTTP PUT/PATCH/DELETE methods for HTTP server dynamic resources. * Added support for HTTP PUT/PATCH/DELETE methods for HTTP server dynamic resources.
* Driver API structures are now available through iterable sections and a new
:c:macro:`DEVICE_API_IS` macro has been introduced to allow to check if a device supports a
given API. Many shell commands now use this to provide "smarter" auto-completion and only list
compatible devices when they expect a device argument.
* Zephyr's :ref:`interactive board catalog <boards>` has been extended to allow searching for boards
based on supported hardware features. A new :rst:dir:`zephyr:board-supported-hw` Sphinx directive
can now be used in boards' documentation pages to automatically include a list of the hardware
features supported by a board, and many boards have already adopted this new feature in their
documentation.
