Instead of acting only + on the lid close action it will continously watch the lid + status and act on it. This is useful for laptops where the + power button is on the outside of the chassis so that it can + be reached whithout opening the lid (such as the Lenovo + Yoga). On those machines logind will now immediately + resuspend the machine if the power button has been + accidentally pressed while the laptop was suspended and in a + backpack or similar. + + * logind will now watch SW_DOCK switches and inhibit reaction + to the lid switch if it is pressed. This means that logind + will not suspend the machine if the lid is closed and the + systemd is docked anymore, if the laptop supports SW_DOCK + notifications via the input layer. Note that ACPI docking + stations do not generate this currently. Also note that this + logic is usually not fully sufficient and Desktop + Environments should take a lid switch inhibitor lock when an + external display is connected, as systemd will not watch + this on its own. + + * nspawn will now make use of the devices cgroup controller by + default, and only permit creation of and access to the usual + API device nodes like /dev/null or /dev/random, as well as + access to (but not creation of) the pty devices. + + * We will now ship a default .network file for + systemd-networkd that automatically configures DHCP for + network interfaces created by nspawn's --network-veth or + --network-bridge= switches. + + * systemd will now understand the usual M, K, G, T suffixes + according to SI conventions (i.e. to the base 1000) when + referring to throughput and hardware metrics. It will stay + with IEC conventions (i.e. to the base 1024) for software + metrics, according to what is customary according to + Wikipedia. We explicitly document which base applies for + each configuration option. + + * The DeviceAllow= setting in unit files now supports a syntax + to whitelist an entire group of devince node majors at once, + based on the /proc/devices listing. For example, with the + string "char-pts" it is now possible to whitelist all + current and future pseudo-TTYs at once. + + * sd-event learned a new "post" event source. Event sources of + this type are triggered by the dispatching of any event + source of a type that is not "post". This is useful for + implementing clean-up and check event sources that are + triggered by other work being done in the program. + + * systemd-networkd is no longer statically enabled, but uses + the usual [Install] sections so that it can be + enabled/disabled using systemctl. It still is enabled by + default however. + + * When creating a veth interface pair with systemd-nspawn the + host side will now be prefixed with "vb-" if + --network-bridge= is used, and with "ve-" if --network-veth + is used. This way it is easy to distuingish these cases on + the host, for example to apply different configuration to + them with systemd-networkd. + + Contributions from: Andreas Fuchs, Armin K, Colin Walters, + Daniel Mack, Dave Reisner, David Herrmann, Djalal Harouni, + Holger Schurig, Jason A.
