systemd System and Service Manager
+CHANGES WITH 202:
+
+ * The output of 'systemctl list-jobs' got some polishing. The
+ '--type=' argument may now be passed more than once. A new
+ command 'systemctl list-sockets' has been added which shows
+ a list of kernel sockets systemd is listening on with the
+ socket units they belong to, plus the units these socket
+ units activate.
+
+ * The experimental libsystemd-bus library got substantial
+ updates to work in conjunction with the (also experimental)
+ kdbus kernel project. It works well enough to exchange
+ messages with some sophistication. Note that kdbus is not
+ ready yet, and the library is mostly an elaborate test case
+ for now, and not installable.
+
+ * systemd gained a new unit 'systemd-static-nodes.service'
+ that generates static device nodes earlier during boot, and
+ can run in conjunction with udev.
+
+ * libsystemd-login gained a new call sd_pid_get_user_unit()
+ to retrieve the user systemd unit a process is running
+ in. This is useful for systems where systemd is used as
+ session manager.
+
+ * systemd-nspawn now places all containers in the new /machine
+ top-level cgroup directory in the name=systemd
+ hierarchy. libvirt will soon do the same, so that we get a
+ uniform separation of /system, /user and /machine for system
+ services, user processes and containers/virtual
+ machines. This new cgroup hierarchy is also useful to stick
+ stable names to specific container instances, which can be
+ recognized later this way (this name may be controlled
+ via systemd-nspawn's new -M switch). libsystemd-login also
+ gained a new call sd_pid_get_machine_name() to retrieve the
+ name of the container/VM a specific process belongs to.
+
+ * bootchart can now store its data in the journal.
+
+ * libsystemd-journal gained a new call
+ sd_journal_add_conjunction() for AND expressions to the
+ matching logic. This can be used to express more complex
+ logical expressions.
+
+ * journactl can now take multiple --unit= and --user-unit=
+ switches.
+
+ * The cryptsetup logic now understands the "luks.key=" kernel
+ command line switch for specifying a file to read the
+ decryption key from. Also, if a configured key file is not
+ found the tool will now automatically fall back to prompting
+ the user.
+
+ * Python systemd.journal module was updated to wrap recently
+ added functions from libsystemd-journal. The interface was
+ changed to bring the low level interface in s.j._Reader
+ closer to the C API, and the high level interface in
+ s.j.Reader was updated to wrap and convert all data about
+ an entry.

CHANGES WITH 201:
* journalctl --update-catalog now understands a new --root=
* The udev daemon now sets the default number of worker
processes executed in parallel based on the number of available
CPUs instead of the amount of available RAM. This is supposed
- to provide a more reliable default and limit a too agressive
