 ### Commanding Service Base

 - CSB uses the new fsfwconfig::FSFW_CSB_FIFO_DEPTH variable to determine  the FIFO depth for each CSB instance. This variable has to be set in the FSFWConfig.h file
+
+### Service Interface
+
+- Proper printf support contained in ServiceInterfacePrinter.h
+- CPP ostream support now optional (can reduce executable size by 150 - 250 kB)
+- Amalagated header which determines automatically which service interface to use depending on FSFWConfig.h configuration. 
+  Users can just use #include <fsfw/serviceinterface/ServiceInterface.h>
+- If CPP streams are excluded, sif:: calls won't work anymore and need to be replaced by their printf counterparts. 
+  For the fsfw, this can be done by checking the processor define FSFW_CPP_OSTREAM_ENABLED from FSFWConfig.h. 
+  For mission code, developers need to replace sif:: calls by the printf counterparts, but only if the CPP stream are excluded. 
+  If this is not the case, everything should work as usual.
