+## String concatenation in meson_options.txt
+
+It is now possible to use string concatenation (with the `+` opperator) in the
+meson_options.txt file. This allows splitting long option descriptions.
+
+```meson
+option(
+  'testoption',
+  type : 'string',
+  value : 'optval',
+  description : 'An option with a very long description' +
+                'that does something in a specific context'
+)
