   ([#614](https://github.com/nix-rust/nix/pull/614))
 - Added `cfmakeraw`, `cfsetspeed`, and `tcgetsid`. ([#527](https://github.com/nix-rust/nix/pull/527))
+- On Linux, added support for receiving `PTRACE_O_TRACESYSGOOD`
+  events from `wait` and `waitpid` with a new `PtraceSyscall`
+  enum variant in `nix::sys::wait::WaitStatus`
+  ([#566](https://github.com/nix-rust/nix/pull/566)).
 
 ### Changed
 - Changed `ioctl!(write ...)` to take argument by value instead as pointer.
