systemd System and Service Manager
+CHANGES WITH 195:
+
+ * journalctl gained new --since= and --until= switches to
+ filter by time. It also now supports nice filtering for
+ units via --unit=/-u.
+
+ * Type=oneshot services may use ExecReload= and do the
+ right thing.
+
+ * The journal daemon now supports time-based rotation and
+ vacuuming, in addition to the usual disk-space based
+ rotation.
+
+ * The journal will now index the available field values for
+ each field name. This enables clients to show pretty drop
+ downs of available match values when filtering. The bash
+ completion of journalctl has been updated
+ accordingly. journalctl gained a new switch -F to list all
+ values a certain field takes in the journal database.
+
+ * More service events are now written as structured messages
+ to the journal, and made recognizable via message IDs.
+
+ * The timedated, localed and hostnamed mini-services which
+ previously only provided support for changing time, locale
+ and hostname settings from graphical DEs such as GNOME now
+ also have a minimal (but very useful) text-based client
+ utility each. This is probably the nicest way to changing
+ these settings from the command line now, especially since
+ it lists available options and is fully integrated with bash
+ completion.
+
+ * There's now a new tool "systemd-coredumpctl" to list and
+ extract coredumps from the journal.
+
+ * We now install a README each in /var/log/ and
+ /etc/rc.d/init.d explaining where the system logs and init
+ scripts went. This hopefully should help folks who go to
+ that dirs and look into the otherwise now empty void and
+ scratch their heads.
+
+ * When user-services are invoked (by systemd --user) the
+ $MANAGERPID env var is set to the PID of systemd.
+
+ * SIGRTMIN+24 when sent to a --user instance will now result
+ in immediate termination of systemd.
+
+ * gatewayd received numerous feature additions such as a
+ "follow" mode, for live syncing and filtering.
+
+ * browse.html now allows filtering and showing detailed
+ information on specific entries. Keyboard navigation and
+ mouse screen support has been added.
+
+ * gatewayd/journalctl now supports HTML5/JSON
+ Server-Sent-Events as output.
+
+ * The SysV init script compatibility logic will now
+ heuristically determine whether a script supports the
+ "reload" verb, and only then make this available as
+ "systemctl reload".
+
+ * "systemctl status --follow" has been removed, use "journalctl
+ -u" instead.
+
+ * journald.conf's RuntimeMinSize=, PersistentMinSize= settings
+ have been removed since they are hardly useful to be
+ configured.
+
+ * And I'd like to take the opportunity to specifically mention
+ Zbigniew for his great contributions. Zbigniew, you rock!

+
+CHANGES WITH 194:
+
+ * If /etc/vconsole.conf is non-existent or empty we will no
+ longer load any console font or key map at boot by
+ default. Instead the kernel defaults will be left
+ intact. This is definitely the right thing to do, as no
+ configuration should mean no configuration, and hard-coding
+ font names that are different on all archs is probably a bad
+ idea. Also, the kernel default key map and font should be
+ good enough for most cases anyway, and mostly identical to
+ the userspace fonts/key maps we previously overloaded them
+ with. If distributions want to continue to default to a
+ non-kernel font or key map they should ship a default
+ /etc/vconsole.conf with the appropriate contents.
