+ * systemctl gained two new commands "add-wants" and
+ "add-requires" for pulling in units from specific targets
+ easily.
+
+ * If the word "rescue" is specified on the kernel command line
+ the system will now boot into rescue mode (aka
+ rescue.target), which was previously available only by
+ specifying "1" or "systemd.unit=rescue.target" on the kernel
+ command line. This new kernel command line option nicely
+ mirrors the already existing "emergency" kernel command line
+ option.
+
+ * New kernel command line options mount.usr=, mount.usrflags=,
+ usrfstype= have been added that match root=, rootflags=,
+ rootfstype= but allow mounting a specific file system to
+ /usr.
+
+ * The $NOTIFY_SOCKET is now also passed to control processesof
+ services, not only the main process.
+
+ * This version reenables support for fsck's -l switch. This
+ means at least version v2.25 of util-linux is required for
+ operation, otherwise dead-locks on device nodes may
+ occur. Again: you need to update util-linux to at least
+ v2.25 when updating systemd to v217.
+
+ * The "multi-seat-x" tool has been removed from systemd, as
+ its functionality has been integrated into X servers 1.16,
+ and the tool is hence redundant. It is recommended to update
+ display managers invoking this tool to simply invoke X
+ directly from now on, again.
