We will now print the name of these processes + when we send SIGKILL to them, since this usually indicates a + problem. + + * If /etc/crypttab refers to password files stored on + configured mount points automatic dependencies will now be + generated to ensure the specific mount is established first + before the key file is attempted to be read. + + * 'systemctl status' will now show information about the + network sockets a socket unit is listening on. + + * 'systemctl status' will also shown information about any + drop-in configuration file for units. (Drop-In configuration + files in this context are files such as + /etc/systemd/systemd/foobar.service.d/*.conf) + + * systemd-cgtop now optionally shows summed up CPU times of + cgroups. Press '%' while running cgtop to switch between + percentage and absolute mode. This is useful to determine + which cgroups use up the most CPU time over the entire + runtime of the system. systemd-cgtop has also been updated + to be 'pipeable' for processing with further shell tools. + + * 'hostnamectl set-hostname' will now allow setting of FQDN + hostnames. + + * The formatting and parsing of time span values has been + changed. The parser now understands fractional expressions + such as "5.5h". The formatter will now output fractional + expressions for all time spans under 1min, i.e. "5.123456s" + rather than "5s 123ms 456us". For time spans under 1s + millisecond values are shown, for those under 1ms + microsecond values are shown. This should greatly improve + all time-related output of systemd. + + * libsystemd-login and libsystemd-journal gained new + functions for querying the poll() events mask and poll() + timeout value for integration into arbitrary event + loops. + + * localectl gained the ability to list available X11 keymaps + (models, layouts, variants, options). + + * 'systemd-analyze dot' gained the ability to filter for + specific units via shell-style globs, to create smaller, + more useful graphs. I.e. it's now possible to create simple + graphs of all the dependencies between only target units, or + of all units that Avahi has dependencies with. + + Contributions from: Cristian Rodríguez, Dr. Tilmann Bubeck, + Harald Hoyer, Holger Hans Peter Freyther, Kay Sievers, Kelly + Anderson, Koen Kooi, Lennart Poettering, Maksim Melnikau, + Marc-Antoine Perennou, Marius Vollmer, Martin Pitt, Michal + Schmidt, Oleksii Shevchuk, Ronny Chevalier, Simon McVittie, + Steven Hiscocks, Thomas Weißschuh, Umut Tezduyar, Václav + Pavlín, Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek, Łukasz Stelmach + +CHANGES WITH 200: + + * The boot-time readahead implementation for rotating media + will now read the read-ahead data in multiple passes which + consist of all read requests made in equidistant time + intervals. This means instead of strictly reading read-ahead + data in its physical order on disk we now try to find a + middle ground between physical and access time order. + + * /etc/os-release files gained a new BUILD_ID= field for usage + on operating systems that provide continuous builds of OS + images. + + Contributions from: Auke Kok, Eelco Dolstra, Kay Sievers, + Lennart Poettering, Lukas Nykryn, Martin Pitt, Václav Pavlín + William Douglas, Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek + CHANGES WITH 199: * systemd-python gained an API exposing libsystemd-daemon.
