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. + + Contributions from: Benjamin Franzke, Bill Nottingham, + Frederic Crozat, Lennart Poettering, Michael Olbrich, Michal + Schmidt, Michał Górny, Piotr Drąg + +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. + + Contributions from: Benjamin Franzke, Kay Sievers, Lennart + 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 + + Contributions from: Alvaro Soliverez, Chris Paulson-Ellis, Kay + Sievers, Lennart Poettering, Michael Olbrich, Michal Schmidt, + Mike Kazantsev, Ray Strode + CHANGES WITH 39: * This is mostly a test release, but incorporates many bugfixes.
