* The :c:func:`coap_packet_init` function will now take a pointer to a constant

buffer as the ``token`` argument instead of a pointer to a writable buffer.

* A new :ref:`regulator_api` API has been added to support controlling power
76+
sources. Regulators can also be associated with devicetree nodes, allowing
77+
drivers to ensure the device they access has been powered up. For simple

GPIO-only regulators a devicetree property ``supply-gpios`` is defined as a
79+
standard way to identify the control signal in nodes that support power

control.
