systemd System and Service Manager
+CHANGES WITH 206:
+
+ * The documentation has been updated to cover the various new
+ concepts introduced with 205.
+
+ * Unit files now understand the new %v specifier which
+ resolves to the kernel version string as returned by "uname
+ -r".
+
+ * systemctl now supports filtering the unit list output by
+ load state, active state and sub state, using the new
+ --state= parameter.
+
+ * "systemctl status" will now show the results of the
+ condition checks (like ConditionPathExists= and similar) of
+ the last start attempts of the unit. They are also logged to
+ the journal.
+
+ * "journalctl -b" may now be used to look for boot output of a
+ specific boot. Try "journalctl -b -1" for the previous boot,
+ but the syntax is substantially more powerful.
+
+ * "journalctl --show-cursor" has been added which prints the
+ cursor string the last shown log line. This may then be used
+ with the new "journalctl --after-cursor=" switch to continue
+ browsing logs from that point on.
+
+ * "journalctl --force" may now be used to force regeneration
+ of an FSS key.
+
+ * Creation of "dead" device nodes has been moved from udev
+ into kmod and tmpfiles. Previously, udev would read the kmod
+ databases to pre-generate dead device nodes based on meta
+ information contained in kernel modules, so that these would
+ be auto-loaded on access rather then at boot. As this
+ doesn't really have much to do with the exposing actual
+ kernel devices to userspace this has always been slightly
+ alien in the udev codebase. Following the new scheme kmod
+ will now generate a runtime snippet for tmpfiles from the
+ module meta information and it now is tmpfiles' job to the
+ create the nodes. This also allows overriding access and
+ other parameters for the nodes using the usual tmpfiles
+ facilities. As side effect this allows us to remove the
+ CAP_SYS_MKNOD capability bit from udevd entirely.
+
+ * logind's device ACLs may now be applied to these "dead"
+ devices nodes too, thus finally allowing managed access to
+ devices such as /dev/snd/sequencer whithout loading the
+ backing module right-away.
+
+ * A new RPM macro has been added that may be used to apply
+ tmpfiles configuration during package installation.
+
+ * systemd-detect-virt and ConditionVirtualization= now can
+ detect User-Mode-Linux machines (UML).
+
+ * journald will now implicitly log the effective capabilities
+ set of processes in the message metadata.
+
+ * systemd-cryptsetup has gained support for TrueCrypt volumes.
+
+ * The initrd interface has been simplified (more specifically,
+ support for passing performance data via environment
+ variables and fsck results via files in /run has been
+ removed). These features were non-essential, and are
+ nowadays available in a much nicer way by having systemd in
+ the initrd serialize its state and have the hosts systemd
+ deserialize it again.
+
+ * The udev "keymap" data files and tools to apply keyboard
+ specific mappings of scan to key codes, and force-release
+ scan code lists have been entirely replaced by a udev
+ "keyboard" builtin and a hwdb data file.
+
+ * systemd will now honour the kernel's "quiet" command line
+ argument also during late shutdown, resulting in a
+ completely silent shutdown when used.
+
+ * There's now an option to control the SO_REUSEPORT socket
+ option in .socket units.
+
+ * Instance units will now automatically get a per-template
+ subslice of system.slice unless something else is explicitly
+ configured. For example, instances of sshd@.service will now
+ implicitly be placed in system-sshd.slice rather than
+ system.slice as before.
+
+ * Test coverage support may now be enabled at build time.

CHANGES WITH 205:
* Two new unit types have been introduced:
generators needed for execution, as well as information
about the unit file loading.
- * journalctl gained new "--user" and "--system" switches to
- only show user/system logs.
-
* libsystemd-journal gained a new sd_journal_open_files() call
for opening specific journal files. journactl also gained a
new switch to expose this new functionality. Previously we
