systemd System and Service Manager
+CHANGES WITH 187:
+
+ * The journal and id128 C APIs are now fully documented as man
+ pages.
+
+ * Extra safety checks have been added when transitioning from
+ the initial RAM disk to the main system to avoid accidental
+ data loss.
+
+ * /etc/crypttab entrie now understand the new keyfile-offset=
+ option.
+
+ * systemctl -t can now be used to filter by unit load state.
+
+ * The journal C API gained the new sd_journal_wait() call to
+ make writing synchronous journal clients easier.
+
+ * journalctl gained the new -D switch to show journals from a
+ specific directory.
+
+ * journalctl now displays a special marker between log
+ messages of two different boots.
+
+ * The journal is now explicitly flushed to /var via a service
+ systemd-journal-flush.service, rather than implicitly simply
+ by seeing /var/log/journal to be writable.
+
+ * journalctl (and the journal C APIs) can now match for much
+ more complex expressions, with alternatives and
+ disjunctions.
+
+ * When transitioning from the initial RAM disk to the main
+ system we will now kill all processes in a killing spree to
+ ensure no processes stay around by accident.
+
+ * Three new specifiers may be used in unit files: %u, %h, %s
+ resolve to the user name, user home directory resp. user
+ shell. This is useful for running systemd user instances.
+
+ * We now automatically rotate journal files if their data
+ object hash table gets a fill level > 75%. We also size the
+ hash table based on the configured maximum file size. This
+ together should lower hash collisions drastically and thus
+ speed things up a bit.
+
+ * journalctl gained the new "--header" switch to introspect
+ header data of journal files.
+
+ * A new setting SystemCallFilters= has been added to services
+ which may be used to apply blacklists or whitelists to
+ system calls. This is based on SECCOMP Mode 2 of Linux 3.5.
+
+ * nspawn gained a new --link-journal= switch (and quicker: -j)
+ to link the container journal with the host. This makes it
+ very easy to centralize log viewing on the host for all
+ guests while still keeping the journal files separated.
+
+ * Many bugfixes and optimizations

CHANGES WITH 186:
* Several tools now understand kernel command line arguments,
additional capabilities to the container.
* timedated will now read known NTP implementation unit names
- from /usr/share/systemd/ntp-units.d/*.list,
+ from /usr/lib/systemd/ntp-units.d/*.list,
systemd-timedated-ntp.target has been removed.
* journalctl gained a new switch "-b" that lists log data of
that data collected is only forwarded to the console, the
kernel log buffer or another syslog implementation.
- * Many bugfixes and optimizations.

CHANGES WITH 185:
* "systemctl help <unit>" now shows the man page if one is
to be used as drop-in files.
* systemd and logind now handle system sleep states, in
- particulary suspending and hibernating.
+ particular suspending and hibernating.
* logind now implements a sleep/shutdown/idle inhibiting logic
suitable for a variety of uses. Soonishly Lennart will blog
