systemd System and Service Manager
+CHANGES WITH 206:
+
+ * The systemd-sysctl tool does no longer natively read the
+ file /etc/sysctl.conf. If desired, the file should be
+ symlinked from /etc/sysctl.d/99-sysctl.conf. Apart from
+ providing legacy support by a symlink rather than built-in
+ code, it also makes the otherwise hidden order of application
+ of the different files visible.
+
CHANGES WITH 206:
* The documentation has been updated to cover the various new
* systemctl now supports filtering the unit list output by
load state, active state and sub state, using the new
- --type= parameter.
+ --state= parameter.
* "systemctl status" will now show the results of the
condition checks (like ConditionPathExists= and similar) of
* "journalctl --force" may now be used to force regeneration
of an FSS key.
- * Device ACLs may now be applied to "dead" devices nodes too,
- i.e. device nodes that are created based on kernel module
- information of not yet loaded kernel modules.
+ * 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 log the effective capabilities set of
- processes in the message metadata.
+ * journald will now implicitly log the effective capabilities
+ set of processes in the message metadata.
* systemd-cryptsetup has gained support for TrueCrypt volumes.
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.
