systemd System and Service Manager
+CHANGES WITH 215:
+ * A new system group "input" is introduced, all input
+ device nodes get this group assigned. This is useful for
+ system-level software to get access to input devices. It
+ complements what is already done for "audio" and "video".

CHANGES WITH 214:
* As an experimental feature, udev now tries to lock the
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.
+ synthesize "change" events for the disk and all its partitions.
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
* Virtualization detection works without priviliges now. This
means the systemd-detect-virt binary no longer requires
CAP_SYS_PTRACE file capabilities, and our daemons can run
- with less priviliges.
+ with fewer privileges.
* systemd-networkd now runs under its own "systemd-network"
user. It retains the CAP_NET_ADMIN, CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE,
transports. Instead it is assumed the kernel loads them
automatically when required. This only works correctly on
very new kernels. On older kernels, please consider adding
- the kernel modules to /etc/load-modules.d/ as a work-around.
+ the kernel modules to /etc/modules-load.d/ as a work-around.
+
+ * The resolv.conf file systemd-resolved generates has been
+ moved to /run/systemd/resolve/, if you have a symlink from
+ /etc/resolv.conf it might be necessary to correct it.
* Two new service settings ProtectedHome= and ProtectedSystem=
have been added. When enabled they will make the user data
* Socket units gained a new Symlinks= setting. It takes a list
of symlinks to create to file system sockets or FIFOs
created by the specific unix sockets. This is useful to
- manage symlinks to socket nodes with the same lifecycle as
+ manage symlinks to socket nodes with the same life-cycle as
the socket itself.
* The /dev/log socket and /dev/initctl FIFO have been moved to
* Priviliged Xen (dom0) domains are not considered
virtualization anymore by the virtualization detection
logic. After all, they generally have unrestricted access to
- the hardware and usually are used to manage the unpriviliged
+ the hardware and usually are used to manage the unprivileged
(domU) domains.
* systemd-tmpfiles gained a new "C" line type, for copying
added which is useful for services that shall run before any
network is configured, for example firewall scripts.
+ * The "floppy" group that previously owned the /dev/fd*
+ devices is no longer used. The "disk" group is now used
+ instead. Distributions should probably deprecate usage of
+ this group.
