systemd System and Service Manager
+CHANGES WITH 225:
+
+ * machinectl gained a new verb 'shell' which opens a fresh shell on the
+ target machine. It is similar to 'login', but spawns the shell
+ directly. The pseudo machine '.host' now refers to the local host and
+ is used by default. Hence, 'machinectl shell' can be used as
+ replacement for 'su' which spawns the session as a fresh systemd
+ unit.
+
+ * systemd-networkd learned to cope with private-zone DHCP options and
+ allows other programs to query the values.

+CHANGES WITH 224:
+
+ * The systemd-efi-boot-generator functionality was merged into
+ systemd-gpt-auto-generator.
+
+ * systemd-networkd now supports Group Policy for vxlan devices. It can
+ be enabled via the new boolean configuration option called
+ 'GroupPolicyExtension='.

+
+CHANGES WITH 223:
+
+ * The python-systemd code has been removed from the systemd repository.
+ A new repository has been created which accommodates the code from
+ now on, and we kindly ask distributions to create a separate package
+ for this: https://github.com/systemd/python-systemd
+
+ * The systemd daemon will now reload its main configuration
+ (/etc/systemd/system.conf) on daemon-reload.
+
+ * sd-dhcp now exposes vendor specific extensions via
+ sd_dhcp_lease_get_vendor_specific().
+
+ * systemd-networkd gained a number of new configuration options.
+
+ - A new boolean configuration option for TAP devices called
+ 'VNetHeader='. If set, the IFF_VNET_HDR flag is set for the
+ device, thus allowing to send and receive GSO packets.
+
+ - A new tunnel configuration option called 'CopyDSCP='.
+ If enabled, the DSCP field of ip6 tunnels is copied into the
+ decapsulated packet.
+
+ - A set of boolean bridge configuration options were added.
+ 'UseBPDU=', 'HairPin=', 'FastLeave=', 'AllowPortToBeRoot=',
+ and 'UnicastFlood=' are now parsed by networkd and applied to the
+ respective bridge link device via the respective IFLA_BRPORT_*
+ netlink attribute.
+
+ - A new string configuration option to override the hostname sent
+ to a DHCP server, called 'Hostname='. If set and 'SendHostname='
+ is true, networkd will use the configured hostname instead of the
+ system hostname when sending DHCP requests.
+
+ - A new tunnel configuration option called 'IPv6FlowLabel='. If set,
+ networkd will configure the IPv6 flow-label of the tunnel device
+ according to RFC2460.
+
+ - The 'macvtap' virtual network devices are now supported, similar to
+ the already supported 'macvlan' devices.
+
+ * systemd-resolved now implements RFC5452 to improve resilience against
+ cache poisoning. Additionally, source port randomization is enabled
+ by default to further protect against DNS spoofing attacks.
+
+ * nss-mymachines now supports translating UIDs and GIDs of running
+ containers with user-namespaces enabled. If a container 'foo'
+ translates a host uid 'UID' to the container uid 'TUID', then
+ nss-mymachines will also map uid 'UID' to/from username 'vu-foo-TUID'
+ (with 'foo' and 'TUID' replaced accordingly). Similarly, groups are
+ mapped as 'vg-foo-TGID'.

+
+CHANGES WITH 222:
+
+ * udev does not longer support the WAIT_FOR_SYSFS= key in udev rules.
+ There are no known issues with current sysfs, and udev does not need
+ or should be used to work around such bugs.
+
+ * udev does no longer enable USB HID power management. Several reports
+ indicate, that some devices cannot handle that setting.
+
+ * The udev accelerometer helper was removed. The functionality
+ is now fully included in iio-sensor-proxy. But this means,
+ older iio-sensor-proxy versions will no longer provide
+ accelerometer/orientation data with this systemd version.
+ Please upgrade iio-sensor-proxy to version 1.0.
+
+ * networkd gained a new configuration option IPv6PrivacyExtensions=
+ which enables IPv6 privacy extensions (RFC 4941, "Privacy Extensions
+ for Stateless Address") on selected networks.
+
+ * For the sake of fewer build-time dependencies and less code in the
+ main repository, the python bindings are about to be removed in the
+ next release. A new repository has been created which accommodates
+ the code from now on, and we kindly ask distributions to create a
+ separate package for this. The removal will take place in v223.

+
+CHANGES WITH 221:
+
+ * The sd-bus.h and sd-event.h APIs have now been declared
+ stable and have been added to the official interface of
+ libsystemd.so. sd-bus implements an alternative D-Bus client
+ library, that is relatively easy to use, very efficient and
+ supports both classic D-Bus as well as kdbus as transport
+ backend. sd-event is a generic event loop abstraction that
+ is built around Linux epoll, but adds features such as event
+ prioritization or efficient timer handling. Both APIs are good
+ choices for C programs looking for a bus and/or event loop
+ implementation that is minimal and does not have to be
+ portable to other kernels.
+
+ * kdbus support is no longer compile-time optional. It is now
+ always built-in. However, it can still be disabled at
+ runtime using the kdbus=0 kernel command line setting, and
+ that setting may be changed to default to off, by specifying
+ --disable-kdbus at build-time. Note though that the kernel
+ command line setting has no effect if the kdbus.ko kernel
+ module is not installed, in which case kdbus is (obviously)
+ also disabled. We encourage all downstream distributions to
+ begin testing kdbus by adding it to the kernel images in the
+ development distributions, and leaving kdbus support in
+ systemd enabled.
+
+ * The minimal required util-linux version has been bumped to
+ 2.26.
+
+ * Support for chkconfig (--enable-chkconfig) was removed in
+ favor of calling an abstraction tool
+ /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install. This needs to be
+ implemented for your distribution. See "SYSV INIT.D SCRIPTS"
+ in README for details.
+
+ * If there's a systemd unit and a SysV init script for the
+ same service name, and the user executes "systemctl enable"
+ for it (or a related call), then this will now enable both
+ (or execute the related operation on both), not just the
+ unit.
+
+ * The libudev API documentation has been converted from gtkdoc
+ into man pages.
+
+ * gudev has been removed from the systemd tree, it is now an
+ external project.
+
+ * The systemd-cgtop tool learnt a new --raw switch to generate
+ "raw" (machine parsable) output.
+
+ * networkd's IPForwarding= .network file setting learnt the
+ new setting "kernel", which ensures that networkd does not
+ change the IP forwarding sysctl from the default kernel
+ state.
+
+ * The systemd-logind bus API now exposes a new boolean
+ property "Docked" that reports whether logind considers the
+ system "docked", i.e. connected to a docking station or not.

CHANGES WITH 219:
decompress bz2, xz, gzip compressed downloads if necessary,
and restore sparse files on disk. The daemon uses privilege
separation to ensure the actual download logic runs with
- fewer privileges than the deamon itself. machinectl has
+ fewer privileges than the daemon itself. machinectl has
gained new commands "pull-tar", "pull-raw" and "pull-dkr" to
make the functionality of importd available to the
user. With this in place the Fedora and Ubuntu "Cloud"
* systemd now provides a way to store file descriptors
per-service in PID 1.This is useful for daemons to ensure
that fds they require are not lost during a daemon
- restart. The fds are passed to the deamon on the next
+ restart. The fds are passed to the daemon on the next
invocation in the same way socket activation fds are
passed. This is now used by journald to ensure that the
various sockets connected to all the system's stdout/stderr
* When querying unit file enablement status (for example via
"systemctl is-enabled"), a new state "indirect" is now known
which indicates that a unit might not be enabled itself, but
- another unit listed in its Alias= setting might be.
+ another unit listed in its Also= setting might be.
* Similar to the various existing ConditionXYZ= settings for
units there are now matching AssertXYZ= settings. While
* HandleSleepKey= in logind.conf has been split up into
HandleSuspendKey= and HandleHibernateKey=. The old setting
is not available anymore. X11 and the kernel are
- distuingishing between these keys and we should too. This
+ distinguishing between these keys and we should too. This
also means the inhibition lock for these keys has been split
into two.
* Various functionality updates to libsystemd-login.so
- * Track class of PAM logins to distuingish greeters from
+ * Track class of PAM logins to distinguish greeters from
normal user logins.
