+CHANGES WITH 206:

+        * The systemd-sysctl tool does no longer natively read the
+          file /etc/sysctl.conf. If desired, the file should be
+          symlinked from /etc/sysctl.d/99-sysctl.conf. Apart from
+          providing legacy support by a symlink rather than built-in
+          code, it also makes the otherwise hidden order of application
+          of the different files visible.

-        * Device ACLs may now be applied to "dead" devices nodes too,

+        * Creation of "dead" device nodes has been moved from udev
+          into kmod and tmpfiles. Previously, udev would read the kmod
+          databases to pre-generate dead device nodes based on meta
+          information contained in kernel modules, so that these would
+          be auto-loaded on access rather then at boot. As this
+          doesn't really have much to do with the exposing actual
+          kernel devices to userspace this has always been slightly
+          alien in the udev codebase. Following the new scheme kmod
+          will now generate a runtime snippet for tmpfiles from the
+          module meta information and it now is tmpfiles' job to the
+          create the nodes. This also allows overriding access and
+          other parameters for the nodes using the usual tmpfiles
+          facilities. As side effect this allows us to remove the
+          CAP_SYS_MKNOD capability bit from udevd entirely.

+        * logind's device ACLs may now be applied to these "dead"
+          devices nodes too, thus finally allowing managed access to
+          devices such as /dev/snd/sequencer whithout loading the
+          backing module right-away.
 
         * A new RPM macro has been added that may be used to apply
           tmpfiles configuration during package installation.
