systemd System and Service Manager
+CHANGES WITH 182:
+ * udev sources merged
+
+ * systemd-logingctl and systemd-journalctl have been renamed
+ to logingctl and journalctl to match systemctl.
+
+ * The config files: /etc/systemd/systemd-logind.conf and
+ /etc/systemd/systemd-journald.conf have been renamed to
+ logind.conf and journald.conf. Package updates should rename
+ the files to the new names on upgrade.
+
+CHANGES WITH 44:
+ * This is mostly a bugfix release
+
+ * Support optional initialization of the machine ID from the
+ KVM or container configured UUID.
+
+ * Support immediate reboots with "systemctl reboot -ff"
+
+ * Show /etc/os-release data in systemd-analyze output
+
+ * Many bugfixes for the journal, including endianess fixes and
+ ensuring that disk space enforcement works
+
+ * sd-login.h is C++ comptaible again
+
+ * Extend the /etc/os-release format on request of the Debian
+ folks
+
+ * We now refuse non-UTF8 strings used in various configuration
+ and unit files. This is done to ensure we don't pass invalid
+ data over D-Bus or expose it elsewhere.
+
+ * Register Mimo USB Screens as suitable for automatic seat
+ configuration
+
+ * Read SELinux client context from journal clients in a race
+ free fashion
+
+ * Reorder configuration file lookup order. /etc now always
+ overrides /run in order to allow the administrator to always
+ and unconditionally override vendor supplied or
+ automatically generated data.
+
+ * The various user visible bits of the journal now have man
+ pages. We still lack man pages for the journal API calls
+ however.
+
+ * We now ship all man pages in HTML format again in the
+ tarball.

+CHANGES WITH 43:
+ * This is mostly a bugfix release
+

+ normal user logins.

+
+CHANGES WITH 42:
+ * This is an important bugfix release for v41.
+
+ * Building man pages is now optional which should be useful
+ for those building systemd from git but unwilling to install
+ xsltproc.
+
+ * Watchdog support for supervising services is now usable. In
+ a future release support for hardware watchdogs
+ (i.e. /dev/watchdog) will be added building on this.
+
+ * Service start rate limiting is now configurable and can be
+ turned off per service. When a start rate limit is hit a
+ reboot can automatically be triggered.
+
+ * New CanReboot(), CanPowerOff() bus calls in systemd-logind.

CHANGES WITH 41:
* The systemd binary is installed /usr/lib/systemd/systemd now;
An existing /sbin/init symlink needs to be adapted with the
package update.
+ * The code that loads kernel modules has been ported to invoke
+ libkmod directly, instead of modprobe. This means we do not
+ support systems with module-init-tools anymore.
+
+ * Watchdog support is now already useful, but still not
+ complete.
+
+ * A new kernel command line option systemd.setenv= is
+ understood to set system wide environment variables
+ dynamically at boot.
+
+ * We now limit the set of capabilities of systemd-journald.
+
+ * We now set SIGPIPE to ignore by default, since it only is
+ useful in shell pipelines, and has little use in general
+ code. This can be disabled with IgnoreSIPIPE=no in unit
+ files.

* This is mostly a bugfix release

CHANGES WITH 39:
