They + usually follow closely their normal counterparts, but are + prefixed with rd. + + * There's a new tool to analyze the readahead files that are + automatically generated at boot. Use: + + /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-readahead analyze /.readahead + + * We now provide an early debug shell on tty9 if this enabled. Use: + + systemctl enable debug-shell.service + + * All plymouth related units have been moved into the Plymouth + package. Please make sure to upgrade your Plymouth version + as well. + + * systemd-tmpfiles now supports getting passed the basename of + a configuration file only, in which case it will look for it + in all appropriate directories automatically. + + * udevadm info now takes a /dev or /sys path as argument, and + does the right thing. Example: + + udevadm info /dev/sda + udevadm info /sys/class/block/sda + + * systemctl now prints a warning if a unit is stopped but a + unit that might trigger it continues to run. Example: a + service is stopped but the socket that activates it is left + running. + + * "systemctl status" will now mention if the log output was + shortened due to rotation since a service has been started. + + * The journal API now exposes functions to determine the + "cutoff" times due to rotation. + + * journald now understands SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2 for triggering + immediately flushing of runtime logs to /var if possible, + resp. for triggering immediate rotation of the journal + files. + + * It is now considered an error if a service is attempted to + be stopped that is not loaded. + + * XDG_RUNTIME_DIR now uses numeric UIDs instead of usernames. + + * systemd-analyze now supports Python 3 + + * tmpfiles now supports cleaning up directories via aging + where the first level dirs are always kept around but + directories beneath it automatically aged. This is enabled + by prefixing the age field with '~'. + + * Seat objects now expose CanGraphical, CanTTY properties + which is required to deal with very fast bootups where the + display manager might be running before the graphics drivers + completed initialization. + + * Seat objects now expose a State property. + + * We now include RPM macros for service enabling/disabling + based on the preset logic. We recommend RPM based + distributions to make use of these macros if possible. This + makes it simpler to reuse RPM spec files across + distributions. + + * We now make sure that the collected systemd unit name is + always valid when services log to the journal via + STDOUT/STDERR. + + * There's a new man page kernel-command-line(7) detailing all + command line options we understand. + + * The fstab generator may now be disabled at boot by passing + fstab=0 on the kernel command line. + + * A new kernel command line option driver= is now understood + to load a specific kernel module statically, early at boot. + + * Unit names specified on the systemctl command line are now + automatically escaped as needed. Also, if file system or + device paths are specified they are automatically turned + into the appropriate mount or device unit names. Example: + + systemctl status /home + systemctl status /dev/sda + + * The SysVConsole= configuration option has been removed from + system.conf parsing. + + * The SysV search path is no longer exported on the D-Bus + Manager object. + + * The Names= option is been removed from unit file parsing. + + * There's a new man page bootup(7) detailing the boot process. + + * Every unit and every generator we ship with systemd now + comes with full documentation. The self-explanatory boot is + complete. + + * A couple of services gained "systemd-" prefixes in their + name if they wrap systemd code, rather than only external + code. Among them fsck@.service which is now + systemd-fsck@.service. + + * The HaveWatchdog property has been removed from the D-Bus + Manager object. + + * systemd.confirm_spawn= on the kernel command line should now + work sensibly. + + * There's a new man page crypttab(5) which details all options + we actually understand. + + * systemd-nspawn gained a new --capability= switch to pass + additional capabilities to the container. + + * timedated will now read known NTP implementation unit names + from /usr/share/systemd/ntp-units, + systemd-timedated-ntp.target has been removed. + + * journalctl gained a new switch "-b" that lists log data of + the current boot only. + + * The notify socket is in the abstract namespace again, in + order to support daemons which chroot() at start-up. + + * There is a new Storage= configuration option for journald + which allows configuration of where log data should go. This + also provides a way to disable journal logging entirely, so + that data collected is only forwarded to the console, the + kernel log buffer or another syslog implementation. + + * Many bugfixes and optimizations. + + Contributions from: Auke Kok, Dave Reisner, David Strauss, + Eelco Dolstra, Kay Sievers, Lennart Poettering, Lukas Nykryn, + Michal Schmidt, Michal Sekletar, Paul Menzel, Shawn Landden, + Tom Gundersen + +CHANGES WITH 185: + * "systemctl help " now shows the man page if one is + available. + + * Several new man pages have been added. + + * MaxLevelStore=, MaxLevelSyslog=, MaxLevelKMsg=, + MaxLevelConsole= can now be specified in + journald.conf.
