-systemd System and Session Manager
+systemd System and Service Manager
+
+CHANGES WITH 44:
+        * This is mostly a bugfix release
+
+        * Support optional initialization of the machine ID from the
+          KVM or container configured UUID.
+
+        * Support immediate reboots with "systemctl reboot -ff"
+
+        * Show /etc/os-release data in systemd-analyze output
+
+        * Many bugfixes for the journal, including endianess fixes and
+          ensuring that disk space enforcement works
+
+        * sd-login.h is C++ comptaible again
+
+        * Extend the /etc/os-release format on request of the Debian
+          folks
+
+        * We now refuse non-UTF8 strings used in various configuration
+          and unit files. This is done to ensure we don't pass invalid
+          data over D-Bus or expose it elsewhere.
+
+        * Register Mimo USB Screens as suitable for automatic seat
+          configuration
+
+        * Read SELinux client context from journal clients in a race
+          free fashion
+
+        * Reorder configuration file lookup order. /etc now always
+          overrides /run in order to allow the administrator to always
+          and unconditionally override vendor supplied or
+          automatically generated data.
+
+        * The various user visible bits of the journal now have man
+          pages. We still lack man pages for the journal API calls
+          however.
+
+        * We now ship all man pages in HTML format again in the
+          tarball.

+
+CHANGES WITH 43:
+        * This is mostly a bugfix release
+
+        * systems lacking /etc/os-release  are no longer supported.
+
+        * Various functionality updates to libsystemd-login.so
+
+        * Track class of PAM logins to distuingish greeters from
+          normal user logins.

+
+CHANGES WITH 42:
+        * This is an important bugfix release for v41.
+
+        * Building man pages is now optional which should be useful
+          for those building systemd from git but unwilling to install
+          xsltproc.
+
+        * Watchdog support for supervising services is now usable. In
+          a future release support for hardware watchdogs
+          (i.e. /dev/watchdog) will be added building on this.
+
+        * Service start rate limiting is now configurable and can be
+          turned off per service. When a start rate limit is hit a
+          reboot can automatically be triggered.
+
+        * New CanReboot(), CanPowerOff() bus calls in systemd-logind.

+
+CHANGES WITH 41:
+        * The systemd binary is installed /usr/lib/systemd/systemd now;
+          An existing /sbin/init symlink needs to be adapted with the
+          package update.
+
+        * The code that loads kernel modules has been ported to invoke
+          libkmod directly, instead of modprobe. This means we do not
+          support systems with module-init-tools anymore.
+
+        * Watchdog support is now already useful, but still not
+          complete.
+
+        * A new kernel command line option systemd.setenv= is
+          understood to set system wide environment variables
+          dynamically at boot.
+
+       * We now limit the set of capabilities of systemd-journald.
+
+        * We now set SIGPIPE to ignore by default, since it only is
+          useful in shell pipelines, and has little use in general
+          code. This can be disabled with IgnoreSIPIPE=no in unit
+          files.

+
+CHANGES WITH 40:
+        * This is mostly a bugfix release
+
+        * We now expose the reason why a service failed in the
+          "Result" D-Bus property.
+
+        * Rudimentary service watchdog support (will be completed over
+          the next few releases.)
+
+        * When systemd forks off in order execute some service we will
+          now immediately changes its argv[0] to reflect which process
+          it will execute. This is useful to minimize the time window
+          with a generic argv[0], which makes bootcharts more useful
