systemd System and Service Manager
+CHANGES WITH 182:
+ * udev: all udev sources are merged into the systemd source tree now.
+ All future udev development will happen in the systemd tree. It
+ is still fully supported to use the udev daemon and tools without
+ systemd running, like in initramfs or other init systems. Building
+ udev though, will require the *build* of the systemd tree, but
+ udev can be properly *run* without systems.
+
+ * udev: /lib/udev/devices/ are not read anymore; systemd-tmpfiles
+ should be used to create dead device nodes as workarounds for broken
+ subsystems.
+
+ * udev: RUN+="socket:..." and udev_monitor_new_from_socket() is
+ no longer supported. udev_monitor_new_from_netlink() needs to be
+ used to subscribe to events.
+
+ * udev: when udevd is started by systemd, processes which are left
+ behind by forking them off of udev rules, are unconditionally cleaned
+ up and killed now after the event handling has finished. Services or
+ daemons must be started as systemd services. Services can be
+ pulled-in by udev to ge started, but they can no longer be directly
+ forked by udev rules.
+
+ * udev: the daemon binary is called systemd-udevd now and installed
+ in /usr/lib/systemd/. Standalone builds or non-systemd systems need
+ to adapt to that, create symlink, or rename the binary after building
+ it.
+
+ * Libudev does no longer provide these symbols:
+ udev_monitor_from_socket()
+ udev_queue_get_failed_list_entry()
+ udev_get_{dev,sys,run}_path()
+ The verions number was bumped and symbol versioning introduced.
+
+ * systemd-logingctl and systemd-journalctl have been renamed
+ to logingctl and journalctl to match systemctl.
+
+ * The config files: /etc/systemd/systemd-logind.conf and
+ /etc/systemd/systemd-journald.conf have been renamed to
+ logind.conf and journald.conf. Package updates should rename
+ the files to the new names on upgrade.
+
+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.
+
+ Contributions from: Kay Sievers, Lennart Poettering, Michael
+ Biebl
+
+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.

+ Poettering, Michael Olbrich, Michal Schmidt, Tom Gundersen,
+ William Douglas
+
+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
