 Tests and Samples
 *****************

+  * Added snippet for easily enabling UART over Bluetooth LE by passing ``-S nus-console`` during
+    ``west build``. This snippet sets the :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_BT_NUS_AUTO_START_BLUETOOTH`
+    which allows non-Bluetooth samples that use the UART APIs to run without modifications
