They are also logged to + the journal. + + * "journalctl -b" may now be used to look for boot output of a + specific boot. Try "journalctl -b -1" for the previous boot, + but the syntax is substantially more powerful. + + * "journalctl --show-cursor" has been added which prints the + cursor string the last shown log line. This may then be used + with the new "journalctl --after-cursor=" switch to continue + browsing logs from that point on. + + * "journalctl --force" may now be used to force regeneration + of an FSS key. + + * Device ACLs may now be applied to "dead" devices nodes too, + i.e. device nodes that are created based on kernel module + information of not yet loaded kernel modules. + + * A new RPM macro has been added that may be used to apply + tmpfiles configuration during package installation. + + * systemd-detect-virt and ConditionVirtualization= now can + detect User-Mode-Linux machines (UML). + + * journald will now log the effective capabilities set of + processes in the message metadata. + + * systemd-cryptsetup has gained support for TrueCrypt volumes. + + * The initrd interface has been simplified (more specifically, + support for passing performance data via environment + variables and fsck results via files in /run has been + removed). These features were non-essential, and are + nowadays available in a much nicer way by having systemd in + the initrd serialize its state and have the hosts systemd + deserialize it again. + + * The udev "keymap" data files and tools to apply keyboard + specific mappings of scan to key codes, and force-release + scan code lists have been entirely replaced by a udev + "keyboard" builtin and a hwdb data file. + CHANGES WITH 205: * Two new unit types have been introduced:
