/run/systemd/user directory that was already previously
supported, but is under the control of the user.
+ * Job timeouts (i.e. time-outs on the time a job that is
+ queued stays in the run queue) can now optionally result in
+ immediate reboot or power-off actions (JobTimeoutAction= and
+ JobTimeoutRebootArgument=). This is useful on ".target"
+ units, to limit the maximum time a target remains
+ undispatched in the run queue, and to trigger an emergency
+ operation in such a case. This is now used by default to
+ turn off the system if boot-up (as defined by everything in
+ basic.target) hangs and does not complete for at least
+ 15min. Also, if power-off or reboot hang for at least 30min
+ an immediate power-off/reboot operation is triggered. This
+ functionality is particularly useful to increase reliability
+ on embedded devices, but also on laptops which might
+ accidentally get powered on when carried in a backpack and
+ whose boot stays stuck in a hard disk encryption passphrase
+ question.

* systemd-logind can be configured to also handle lid switch
events even when the machine is docked or multiple displays
are attached (HandleLidSwitchDocked= option).
occur. Again: you need to update util-linux to at least
v2.25 when updating systemd to v217.
+ * The "multi-seat-x" tool has been removed from systemd, as
+ its functionality has been integrated into X servers 1.16,
+ and the tool is hence redundant. It is recommended to update
+ display managers invoking this tool to simply invoke X
+ directly from now on, again.

CHANGES WITH 216:
* timedated no longer reads NTP implementation unit names from
