+ * As an experimental feature, udev now tries to lock the
+ disk device node (flock(LOCK_SH|LOCK_NB)) while it
+ executes events for the disk or any of its partitions.
+ Applications like partitioning programs can lock the
+ disk device node (flock(LOCK_EX)) and claim temporary
+ device ownership that way; udev will entirely skip all event
+ handling for this disk and its partitions. If the disk
+ was opened for writing, the close will trigger a partition
+ table rescan in udev's "watch" facility, and if needed
+ synthesize "change" events for the disk and all its partions.
+ This is now unconditionally enabled, if it turns out to
+ cause major problems, we might turn it on only for specific
+ devices, or might need to disable it entirely. Device-mapper
+ devices are excluded from this logic.

CHANGES WITH 213:
* A new "systemd-timesyncd" daemon has been added for

implementations such as chrony or the NTP reference server
this only implements a client side, and does not bother with
- the full NTP complexity, focusing only on querying time
- from one remote server and synchronizing the local clock to

want to connect to local hardware clocks this simple NTP
client should be more than appropriate for most
early at bootup, in order to accommodate for systems that
lack an RTC such as the Raspberry Pi and embedded devices,

+ systems, even if it is not always correct. To make use of
+ this daemon a new system user and group "systemd-timesync"
+ needs to be created on installation of systemd.
* The queue "seqnum" interface of libudev has been disabled, as
it was generally incompatible with device namespacing as
system startup. This is useful to prioritize certain services
differently during bootup than during normal runtime.

+ * hostnamed has been changed to prefer the statically
+ configured hostname in /etc/hostname (unless set to
+ 'localhost' or empty) over any dynamic one supplied by
+ dhcp. With this change the rules for picking the hostname
+ match more closely the rules of other configuration settings
+ where the local administrator's configuration in /etc always
+ overrides any other settings.
