From 35911459410714a0e9108b35da78f96919b65ee7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lennart Poettering Date: Mon, 25 Mar 2013 23:05:21 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] prepare NEWS for 199 --- NEWS | 57 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 57 insertions(+) diff --git a/NEWS b/NEWS index 9fc5085b0..8815ce9c4 100644 --- a/NEWS +++ b/NEWS @@ -1,5 +1,62 @@ systemd System and Service Manager +CHANGES WITH 199: + + * systemd-python gained an API exposing libsystemd-daemon. + + * The SMACK setup logic gained support for uploading CIPSO + security policy. + + * Behaviour of PrivateTmp=, ReadWriteDirectories=, + ReadOnlyDirectories= and InaccessibleDirectories= has + changed. The private /tmp and /var/tmp directories are now + shared by all processes of a service (which means + ExecStartPre= may now leave data in /tmp that ExecStart= of + the same service can still access). When a service is + stopped its temporary directories are immediately deleted + (normal clean-up with tmpfiles still is done in addition to + this though). + + * By default, systemd will now set a couple of sysctl + variables in the kernel: the safe sysrq options are turned + on, IP route verification is turned on, and source routing + disabled. The recently added hardlink and softlink + protection of the kernel is turned on. These settings should + be reasonably safe, and good defaults for all new systems. + + * The predictable network naming logic may now be turned off + with a new kernel command line switch: net.ifnames=0 + + * A new libsystemd-bus module has been added that implements a + pretty complete D-Bus client library. For details see: + + http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2013-March/009797.html + + * journald will not explicitly flush the journal files to disk + the latest 5min after each write. This will also mark the + files as offline then until the next read. This should + increase reliability. The synchronization delay can be + configured via SyncIntervalSec= in journald.conf. + + * There's a new remote-fs-setup.target unit that can be used + to pull in specific services when at least one remote file + system is to be mounted. + + * There are new targets timers.target and paths.target as + canonical targets to pull user timer and path units in + from. This complements sockets.target with a similar + purpose for socket units. + + Contributions from: Auke Kok, Colin Walters, Cristian + Rodríguez, Daniel Buch, Dave Reisner, Frederic Crozat, Hannes + Reinecke, Harald Hoyer, Jan Alexander Steffens, Jan + Engelhardt, Josh Triplett, Kay Sievers, Lennart Poettering, + Mantas Mikulėnas, Martin Pitt, Mathieu Bridon, Michael Biebl, + Michal Schmidt, Michal Sekletar, Miklos Vajna, Nathaniel Chen, + Oleksii Shevchuk, Ozan Çağlayan, Thomas Hindoe Paaboel + Andersen, Tollef Fog Heen, Tom Gundersen, Umut Tezduyar, + Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek + CHANGES WITH 198: * Configuration of unit files may now be extended via drop-in -- 2.30.2
