+ * When a coredump is collected a larger number of metadata
+ fields is now collected and included in the journal records
+ created for it. More specifically control group membership,
+ environment variables, memory maps, working directory,
+ chroot directory, /proc/$PID/status, and a list of open file
+ descriptors is now stored in the log entry.
+
+ * The udev hwdb now contains DPI information for mice. For
+ details see:
+
+ http://who-t.blogspot.de/2014/12/building-a-dpi-database-for-mice.html
+
+ * All systemd programs that read standalone configuration
+ files in /etc now also support a corresponding series of
+ .conf.d configuration directories in /etc/, /run/,
+ /usr/local/lib/, /usr/lib/, and (if configured with
+ --enable-split-usr) /lib/. In particular, the following
+ configuration files now have corresponding configuration
+ directories: system.conf user.conf, logind.conf,
+ journald.conf, sleep.conf, bootchart.conf, coredump.conf,
+ resolved.conf, timesyncd.conf, journal-remote.conf, and
+ journal-upload.conf. Note that distributions should use the
+ configuration directories in /usr/lib/; the directories in
+ /etc/ are reserved for the system administrator.
+
+ * systemd-rfkill will no longer take the rfkill device name
+ into account when storing rfkill state on disk, as the name
+ might be dynamically assigned and not stable. Instead, the
+ ID_PATH udev variable combined with the rfkill type (wlan,
+ bluetooth, ...) is used.
+
+ * A new service systemd-machine-id-commit.service has been
+ added. When used on systems where /etc is read-only during
+ boot, and /etc/machine-id is not initialized (but an empty
+ file), this service will copy the temporary machine ID
+ created as replacement into /etc after the system is fully
+ booted up. This is useful for systems that are freshly
+ installed with a non-initialized machine ID, but should get
+ a fixed machine ID for subsequent boots.
+
+ * networkd's .netdev files now provide a large set of
+ configuration parameters for VXLAN devices. Similar, the
+ bridge port cost parameter is now configurable in .network
+ files. There's also new support for configuring IP source
+ routing. networkd .link files gained support for a new
+ OriginalName= match that is useful to match against the
+ original interface name the kernel assigned. .network files
+ may include MTU= and MACAddress= fields for altering the MTU
+ and MAC address while being connected to a specific network
+ interface.
+
+ * The LUKS logic gained supported for configuring
+ UUID-specific key files. There's also new support for naming
+ LUKS device from the kernel command line, using the new
+ luks.name= argument.
+
+ * Timer units may now be transiently created via the bus API
+ (this was previously already available for scope and service
+ units). In addition it is now possible to create multiple
+ transient units at the same time with a single bus call. The
+ "systemd-run" tool has been updated to make use of this for
+ running commands on a specified time, in at(1)-style.
+
+ * tmpfiles gained support for "t" lines, for assigning
+ extended attributes to files. Among other uses this may be
+ used to assign SMACK labels to files.
