Bugfixes:
+* Should systemctl status \* work on all unit types, not just .service?
+
* enabling an instance unit creates a pointless link, and
the unit will be started with getty@getty.service:
$ systemctl enable getty@.service
Cannot add dependency job for unit display-manager.service, ignoring: Unit display-manager.service failed to load: No such file or directory. See system logs and 'systemctl status display-manager.service' for details.
-* systemctl --root=container/ set-default ... is totally borked.
+* sd_bus_unref() is broken regarding self-references and "pseudo thread-safety".
+ See the comment in sd_bus_unref() for more..

Features:
+* generator that automatically discovers btrfs subvolumes, identifies their purpose based on some xattr on them.
+
+* support setting empty environment variables with Environment= and EnvironmentFile=
+
+* tmpfiles: figure out relation between Z and m?
+
+* systemd-notify: fake ucred of msg to PID of parent, if that works, with fallback to our own if it doesn't.
+
+* machined/machinectl: sort IP addresses we return by scope and protocol
+* machined: write NSS module for looking up IP addresses for machines
+
+* timer units: actually add extra delays to timer units with high AccuracySec values, don't start them already when we are awake...
+
+* timesyncd:
+ - hookup with networkd: NTP servers from dhcp
+
+* a way for container managers to turn off getty starting via $container_headless= or so...
+
+* figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
+
+* add a kernel command line option to enable the debug shell
+
+* journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
+
+* set NOTIFY_SOCKET also for control processes
+
+* drop parsing of chkconfig header lines from service.c
+
+* mount_cgroup_controllers(): symlinks need to get the label applied
+
+* For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services they run added to the initial transaction and thus confuse Type=idle.
+
+* Add RPM macros for registering/unregistering binfmt drop-ins
+
+* Add timeout to early-boot, and shut down the system if it is hit. Solves the laptop-in-bag problem and is useful for embedded cases
+
+* ImmutableSystem=yes/no or so to mount /usr, /boot read-only/invisible, and leave /var and /etc writable
+
+* InaccessibleHome=yes/no or so to hide /home and /run/user from a service
+
+* Run most system services with cgroupfs read-only and procfs with a more secure mode
+
+* sd-event: generate a failure of a default event loop is executed out-of-thread
+
+* add "M" as recursive version of "m" to tmpfiles, then use it for
+ chowning /run/log/journal (but not /var/log/journal), so that we
+ adjust the perms of journal files created before tmpfiles ran.
+
+* expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
+
* add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
* consider adding RuntimeDirectoryUser= + RuntimeDirectoryGroup=
* sd-event: define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
-* maybe add DefaultTimerAccuracySec= as global config option to set AccuracySec='s default value in .timer units
-
* gpt-auto-generator:
- Support LUKS for root devices
- Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
* improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
- don't have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
+ do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
the most common operations.
* support transient mount units
-* Imply DevicePolicy=closed when PrivateDevices= is used. Mount
- pts+kdbus+shm+mqueue into /dev namespace
-
* add an "input" group to udev logic and add all input devices to it
-* machined: provide calls GetMachineByAddress() on the manager
- interface to get the machine for a local IP address, and
- GetAddress() on the Machine interface to get the Address for a
- machine. Implement via forking off child process which quickly joins
- the cotnainer and passes data to parent. Show this in "machinectl
- status", and use it to implement NSS module to provide automatic
- name resolution for containers.
-
* add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
when it is otherwise off
* "busctl status" works only as root on dbus1, since we cannot read
/proc/$PID/exe
-* systemctl: support --recursive for list-sockets, list-timers,
- ... too, not just for list-units.
-
* implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
for ReusePort=
on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
* completions:
- - busctl zsh completion is outdated
- - systemd-nspawn -Z/-L/-q is missing for zsh
- manager property enumeration was broken when systemd moved to /usr/lib/
* cgroups:
* btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
-* make sure gdm doesn't use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
+* make sure gdm does not use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
* man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
* load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
-* gparted needs to disable auto-activation of mount units somehow, or
- maybe we should stop doing auto-activation of this after boot
- entirely. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701676
- Maybe take a BSD lock at the disk device node and teach udev to
- check for that and suppress event handling.
-
* allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
* sd-bus:
- - when kdbus doesn't take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
- - implement monitor logic
+ - make AddMatch calls on dbus1 transports async
+ - when kdbus does not take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
+ - systemd-bus-proxyd needs to enforce good old XML policy
+ - port exit-on-idle logic to byebye ioctl
+ - allow updating attach flags during runtime
+ - pid1: peek into activating message when activating a service
+ - introduce sd_bus_emit_object_added()/sd_bus_emit_object_removed() that automatically includes the build-in interfaces in the list
+ - constructors for bus messages should probably not be OK with a NULL bus pointer
+ - .busname units should not use get_user_creds()/get_cgroup_creds() but instead do NSS only in temporarily forked off child
- see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
- add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
- - systemd-bus-proxyd needs to enforce good old XML policy
- kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
- longer term: priority inheritance
- - check sender of response messages
- dbus spec updates:
- kdbus mapping
- NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
- GVariant
- "const" properties (posted)
- path escaping
- - port exit-on-idle logic to byebye ioctl
- update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
- - allow updating attach flags during runtime
- - pid1: peek into activating message when activating a service
- test bloom filter generation indexes
- - introduce sd_bus_emit_object_added()/sd_bus_emit_object_removed() that automatically includes the build-in interfaces in the list

/etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
destination.
* after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
need manual exponential loops after all
-* BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
- kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
- installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
- whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.

* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
-* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
+* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably cannot do this before split-off udev is gone for good
* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
* introduce ExecCondition= in services
* EFI:
- - write man page for efi boot generator

- honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
- change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
- logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
- Add pretty name for seats in logind
- logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
- - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
- we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
- session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
- add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
- journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
- journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
- add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
- - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
+ - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we cannot log natively?
- declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
- journal: reuse XZ context
- sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
- journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
- change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
- so that we don't keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
+ so that we do not keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
* document:
- print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
- add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
- systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
- - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
+ - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into does not exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
- systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
- support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
- Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
- - rework wait filter to not require match callback
- better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
- systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
- - in systemctl list-timers show time triggering units ran last
* unit install:
- "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
- systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
- systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
-* introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
-
* deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
* timer units:
- - timer events with system resume
- timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
o DST changes
- Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
- calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
- - when parsing calendar timestamps support the UTC timezone (even if we won't support arbitrary timezone specs, support UTC itself certainly makes sense), also support syntaxes such as +0200

- Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
- - anacron-like feature
* update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes

* fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
-* fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
+* fedup: do not delete initrd on switch-root
* fedup: generator
* timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
* on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
-* add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
+* add "factory" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
- used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
- superset of tmpfiles model
- instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/

+* currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab is not
* nspawn:
- nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
- nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters
- refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
- support taking a btrfs snapshot at startup and dropping it afterwards
- - maybe: hookup nspawn and PrivateNetwork=yes with "ip netns"
- - generate predictable mac addresses for the netdev we create (host0), maybe based on guest's machine
- name and machine-id of host (?)
* cryptsetup:
- cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
* drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we

but much rather a disconnect on success.
* properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno

- verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
+ verify that it is not masked via any of the names traversed.

* patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
-* NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
- in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
- to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
- we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
- the RTC to sync up.
