+CHANGES WITH 210:
+
+ * systemd will now relabel /dev after loading the SMACK policy
+ according to SMACK rules.
+
+ * A new unit file option AppArmorProfile= has been added to
+ set the AppArmor profile for the processes of a unit.
+
+ * A new condition check ConditionArchitecture= has been added
+ to conditionalize units based on the system architecture, as
+ reported by uname()'s "machine" field.
+
+ * systemd-networkd now supports matching on the system
+ virtualization, architecture, kernel command line, host name
+ and machine ID.
+
+ * logind is now a lot more aggressive when suspending the
+ machine due to a closed laptop lid. Instead of acting only
+ on the lid close action it will continuously watch the lid
+ status and act on it. This is useful for laptops where the
+ power button is on the outside of the chassis so that it can
+ be reached without opening the lid (such as the Lenovo
+ Yoga). On those machines logind will now immediately
+ re-suspend the machine if the power button has been
+ accidentally pressed while the laptop was suspended and in a
+ backpack or similar.
+
+ * logind will now watch SW_DOCK switches and inhibit reaction
+ to the lid switch if it is pressed. This means that logind
+ will not suspend the machine anymore if the lid is closed
+ and the system is docked, if the laptop supports SW_DOCK
+ notifications via the input layer. Note that ACPI docking
+ stations do not generate this currently. Also note that this
+ logic is usually not fully sufficient and Desktop
+ Environments should take a lid switch inhibitor lock when an
+ external display is connected, as systemd will not watch
+ this on its own.
+
+ * nspawn will now make use of the devices cgroup controller by
+ default, and only permit creation of and access to the usual
+ API device nodes like /dev/null or /dev/random, as well as
+ access to (but not creation of) the pty devices.
+
+ * We will now ship a default .network file for
+ systemd-networkd that automatically configures DHCP for
+ network interfaces created by nspawn's --network-veth or
+ --network-bridge= switches.
+
+ * systemd will now understand the usual M, K, G, T suffixes
+ according to SI conventions (i.e. to the base 1000) when
+ referring to throughput and hardware metrics. It will stay
+ with IEC conventions (i.e. to the base 1024) for software
+ metrics, according to what is customary according to
+ Wikipedia. We explicitly document which base applies for
+ each configuration option.
+
+ * The DeviceAllow= setting in unit files now supports a syntax
+ to whitelist an entire group of devices node majors at once,
+ based on the /proc/devices listing. For example, with the
+ string "char-pts" it is now possible to whitelist all
+ current and future pseudo-TTYs at once.
+
+ * sd-event learned a new "post" event source. Event sources of
+ this type are triggered by the dispatching of any event
+ source of a type that is not "post". This is useful for
+ implementing clean-up and check event sources that are
+ triggered by other work being done in the program.
+
+ * systemd-networkd is no longer statically enabled, but uses
+ the usual [Install] sections so that it can be
+ enabled/disabled using systemctl. It still is enabled by
+ default however.
+
+ * When creating a veth interface pair with systemd-nspawn the
+ host side will now be prefixed with "vb-" if
+ --network-bridge= is used, and with "ve-" if --network-veth
+ is used. This way it is easy to distinguish these cases on
+ the host, for example to apply different configuration to
+ them with systemd-networkd.
+
+ * The compatibility libraries for libsystemd-journal.so,
+ libsystem-id128.so, libsystemd-login.so and
+ libsystemd-daemon.so do not make use of IFUNC
+ anymore. Instead we now build libsystemd.so multiple times
+ under these alternative names. This means that the footprint
+ is drastically increased, but given that these are
+ transitional compatibility libraries this shouldn't matter
+ much. This change has been made necessary to support the ARM
+ platform for these compatibility libraries, as the ARM
+ toolchain isn't really at the same level as the toolchain
+ for other architectures like x86 and does not support
+ IFUNC. Please make sure to use --enable-compat-libs only
+ during a transitional period!
