CHANGES WITH 207:
* The Restart= option for services now understands a new
- on-watchdog setting which will restart the service
+ on-watchdog setting, which will restart the service
automatically if the service stops sending out watchdog keep
alive messages (as configured with WatchdogSec=).
paths that are optionally prefixed with "-" to indicate that
it should not be considered a failure if they don't exist.
- * journalctl -o (and similar commands) now understand a new

+ * journalctl -o (and similar commands) now understands a new
+ output mode "short-precise", it is similar to "short" but

- * The systemd-sysctl tool no longer natively reads the
- file /etc/sysctl.conf. If desired, the file should be
- symlinked from /etc/sysctl.d/99-sysctl.conf. Apart from
- providing legacy support by a symlink rather than built-in
- code, it also makes the otherwise hidden order of application
- of the different files visible.
