It also now supports nice filtering for + units via --unit=/-u. + + * Type=oneshot services may use ExecReload= and do the + right thing. + + * The journal daemon now supports time-based rotation and + vacuuming, in addition to the usual disk-space based + rotation. + + * The journal will now index the available field values for + each field name. This enables clients to show pretty drop + downs of available match values when filtering. The bash + completion of journalctl has been updated + accordingly. journalctl gained a new switch -F to list all + values a certain field takes in the journal database. + + * More service events are now written as structured messages + to the journal, and made recognizable via message IDs. + + * The timedated, localed and hostnamed mini-services which + previously only provided support for changing time, locale + and hostname settings from graphical DEs such as GNOME now + also have a minimal (but very useful) text-based client + utility each. This is probably the nicest way to changing + these settings from the command line now, especially since + it lists available options and is fully integrated with bash + completion. + + * There's now a new tool "systemd-coredumpctl" to list and + extract coredumps from the journal. + + * We now install a README each in /var/log/ and + /etc/rc.d/init.d explaining where the system logs and init + scripts went. This hopefully should help folks who go to + that dirs and look into the otherwise now empty void and + scratch their heads. + + * When user-services are invoked (by systemd --user) the + $MANAGERPID env var is set to the PID of systemd. + + * SIGRTMIN+24 when sent to a --user instance will now result + in immediate termination of systemd. + + * gatewayd received numerous feature additions such as a + "follow" mode, for live syncing and filtering. + + * browse.html now allows filtering and showing detailed + information on specific entries. Keyboard navigation and + mouse screen support has been added. + + * gatewayd/journalctl now supports HTML5/JSON + Server-Sent-Events as output. + + * The SysV init script compatibility logic will now + heuristically determine whether a script supports the + "reload" verb, and only then make this available as + "systemctl reload". + + * "systemctl status --follow" has been removed, use "journalctl + -u" instead. + + * journald.conf's RuntimeMinSize=, PersistentMinSize= settings + have been removed since they are hardly useful to be + configured. + + * And I'd like to take the opportunity to specifically mention + Zbigniew for his great contributions.

Instead the kernel defaults will be left + intact. This is definitely the right thing to do, as no + configuration should mean no configuration, and hard-coding + font names that are different on all archs is probably a bad + idea. Also, the kernel default key map and font should be + good enough for most cases anyway, and mostly identical to + the userspace fonts/key maps we previously overloaded them + with. If distributions want to continue to default to a + non-kernel font or key map they should ship a default + /etc/vconsole.conf with the appropriate contents. + + Contributions from: Colin Walters, Daniel J Walsh, Dave + Reisner, Kay Sievers, Lennart Poettering, Lukas Nykryn, Tollef + Fog Heen, Tom Gundersen, Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek + +CHANGES WITH 193: + + * journalctl gained a new --cursor= switch to show entries + starting from the specified location in the journal. + + * We now enforce a size limit on journal entry fields exported + with "-o json" in journalctl. Fields larger than 4K will be + assigned null. This can be turned off with --all. + + * An (optional) journal gateway daemon is now available as + "systemd-journal-gatewayd.service". This service provides + access to the journal via HTTP and JSON. This functionality + will be used to implement live log synchronization in both + pull and push modes, but has various other users too, such + as easy log access for debugging of embedded devices. Right + now it is already useful to retrieve the journal via HTTP: + + # systemctl start systemd-journal-gatewayd.service + # wget http://localhost:19531/entries + + This will download the journal contents in a + /var/log/messages compatible format. The same as JSON: + + # curl -H"Accept: application/json" http://localhost:19531/entries + + This service is also accessible via a web browser where a + single static HTML5 app is served that uses the JSON logic + to enable the user to do some basic browsing of the + journal.
