CHANGES WITH 239 in spe:
* NETWORK INTERFACE DEVICE NAMING CHANGES: elogind-udevd's "net_id"
- builtin may name network interfaces differently than in previous
- versions. SR-IOV virtual functions and NPAR partitions with PCI
- function numbers of 8 and above will be named more predictably, and
- udev may generate names based on the PCI slot number in some cases
- where it previously did not.
+ builtin will name network interfaces differently than in previous
+ versions for virtual network interfaces created with SR-IOV and NPAR
+ and for devices where the PCI network controller device does not have
+ a slot number associated.
+
+ SR-IOV virtual devices are now named based on the name of the parent
+ interface, with a suffix of "v<N>", where <N> is the virtual device
+ number. Previously those virtual devices were named as if completely
+ independent.
+
+ The ninth and later NPAR virtual devices will be named following the
+ scheme used for the first eight NPAR partitions. Previously those
+ devices were not renamed and the kernel default (eth<n>) was used.
+
+ "net_id" will also generate names for PCI devices where the PCI
+ network controller device does not have an associated slot number
+ itself, but one of its parents does. Previously those devices were
+ not renamed and the kernel default (eth<n>) was used.
* AF_INET and AF_INET6 are dropped from RestrictAddressFamilies= in
elogind.service. Since v235, IPAddressDeny=any has been set to
- the unit. So, it is expected that the default behavior of elogind
- is not changed. However, if distribution packagers or administrators
- disabled or modified IPAddressDeny= setting by a drop-in config file,
- then it may be necessary to update the file to re-enable AF_INET and
- AF_INET6 to support network user name services, e.g. NIS.
-
- * When the RestrictNamespaces= unit property is specified multiple times,
- then the specified types are merged now. Previously, only the last
- assignment was used. So, if distribution packagers or administrators
- modified the setting by a drop-in config file, then it may be necessary
- to update the file.

* When OnFailure= is used in combination with Restart= on a service
unit, then the specified units will no longer be triggered on
* systemctl disable/unmask/preset/preset-all cannot be used with
--runtime. Previously this was allowed, but resulted in unintuitive
- behaviour that wasn't useful. systemctl disable/unmask will now
- undo both runtime and persistent enablement/masking, i.e. it will
- remove any relevant symlinks both in /run and /etc.

+
+ * Note that all long-running system services shipped with elogind will
+ now default to a system call whitelist (rather than a blacklist, as
+ before). In particular, elogind-udevd will now enforce one too. For
+ most cases this should be safe, however downstream distributions
+ which disabled sandboxing of elogind-udevd (specifically the
+ MountFlags= setting), might want to disable this security feature
+ too, as the default whitelisting will prohibit all mount, swap,
+ reboot and clock changing operations from udev rules.
* sd-boot acquired new loader configuration settings to optionally turn
off Windows and MacOS boot partition discovery as well as
configuration settings to change the resolution explicitly.
* The elogind-resolve tool has been renamed to resolvectl (it also
- * elogind-resolved now supports DNS-over-TLS ("PrivateDNS"). It's still
- turned off by default, use PrivateDNS=opportunistic to turn it on in
+ * elogind-resolved now supports DNS-over-TLS. It's still
+ turned off by default, use DNSOverTLS=opportunistic to turn it on in
resolved.conf. We intend to make this the default as soon as couple
of additional techniques for optimizing the initial latency caused by
establishing a TLS/TCP connection are implemented.
interface is now verb-based, similar in style to the other <xyz>ctl
tools, such as systemctl or loginctl.
- * The resolvectl/elogind-resolve tool also provides 'resolveconf'
- compatibility. It may be symlinked under the 'resolveconf' name, in
+ * The resolvectl/elogind-resolve tool also provides 'resolvconf'
+ compatibility. It may be symlinked under the 'resolvconf' name, in
which case it will take arguments and input compatible with the
Debian and FreeBSD resolvconf tool.
* Units gained a new load state "bad-setting", which is used when a
unit file was loaded, but contained fatal errors which prevent it
- from being started (for example, an ExecStart= path which references
- a non-existent executable).
+ from being started (for example, a service unit has been defined
+ lacking both ExecStart= and ExecStop= lines).
* coredumpctl's "gdb" verb has been renamed to "debug", in order to
support alternative debuggers, for example lldb. The old name
system namespacing options. One such service is elogind-udevd.service
wher this is now used by default.
+ * A new unit "system-update-pre.target" is added, which defines an
+ optional synchronization point for offline system updates, as
+ implemented by the pre-existing "system-update.target" unit. It
+ allows ordering services before the service that executes the actual
+ update process in a generic way.
