 systemd System and Service Manager
 
+CHANGES WITH 42:
+        * This is an important bugfix release for v41.
+
+        * Building man pages is now optional which should be useful
+          for those building systemd from git but unwilling to install
+          xsltproc.
+
+        * Watchdog support for supervising services is now usable. In
+          a future release support for hardware watchdogs
+          (i.e. /dev/watchdog) will be added building on this.
+
+        * Service start rate limiting is now configurable and can be
+          turned off per service. When a start rate limit is hit a
+          reboot can automatically be triggered.
+
+        * New CanReboot(), CanPowerOff() bus calls in systemd-logind.

+
+CHANGES WITH 41:
+        * The systemd binary is installed /usr/lib/systemd/systemd now;
+          An existing /sbin/init symlink needs to be adapted with the
+          package update.
+
+        * The code that loads kernel modules has been ported to invoke
+          libkmod directly, instead of modprobe. This means we do not
+          support systems with module-init-tools anymore.
+
+        * Watchdog support is now already useful, but still not
+          complete.
+
+        * A new kernel command line option systemd.setenv= is
+          understood to set system wide environment variables
+          dynamically at boot.
+
+       * We now limit the set of capabilities of systemd-journald.
+
+        * We now set SIGPIPE to ignore by default, since it only is
+          useful in shell pipelines, and has little use in general
+          code. This can be disabled with IgnoreSIPIPE=no in unit
+          files.
