systemd System and Service Manager
+CHANGES WITH 201:
+
+ * journalctl --update-catalog now understands a new --root=
+ option to operate on catalogs found in a different root
+ directory.
+
+ * During shutdown after systemd has terminated all running
+ services a final killing loop kills all remaining left-over
+ processes. We will now print the name of these processes
+ when we send SIGKILL to them, since this usually indicates a
+ problem.
+
+ * If /etc/crypttab refers to password files stored on
+ configured mount points automatic dependencies will now be
+ generated to ensure the specific mount is established first
+ before the key file is attempted to be read.
+
+ * 'systemctl status' will now show information about the
+ network sockets a socket unit is listening on.
+
+ * 'systemctl status' will also shown information about any
+ drop-in configuration file for units. (Drop-In configuration
+ files in this context are files such as
+ /etc/systemd/systemd/foobar.service.d/*.conf)
+
+ * systemd-cgtop now optionally shows summed up CPU times of
+ cgroups. Press '%' while running cgtop to switch between
+ percentage and absolute mode. This is useful to determine
+ which cgroups use up the most CPU time over the entire
+ runtime of the system. systemd-cgtop has also been updated
+ to be 'pipeable' for processing with further shell tools.
+
+ * 'hostnamectl set-hostname' will now allow setting of FQDN
+ hostnames.
+
+ * The formatting and parsing of time span values has been
+ changed. The parser now understands fractional expressions
+ such as "5.5h". The formatter will now output fractional
+ expressions for all time spans under 1min, i.e. "5.123456s"
+ rather than "5s 123ms 456us". For time spans under 1s
+ millisecond values are shown, for those under 1ms
+ microsecond values are shown. This should greatly improve
+ all time-related output of systemd.
+
+ * libsystemd-login and libsystemd-journal gained new
+ functions for querying the poll() events mask and poll()
+ timeout value for integration into arbitrary event
+ loops.
+
+ * localectl gained the ability to list available X11 keymaps
+ (models, layouts, variants, options).
+
+ * 'systemd-analyze dot' gained the ability to filter for
+ specific units via shell-style globs, to create smaller,
+ more useful graphs. I.e. it's now possible to create simple
+ graphs of all the dependencies between only target units, or
+ of all units that Avahi has dependencies with.

+
+CHANGES WITH 200:
+
+ * The boot-time readahead implementation for rotating media
+ will now read the read-ahead data in multiple passes which
+ consist of all read requests made in equidistant time
+ intervals. This means instead of strictly reading read-ahead
+ data in its physical order on disk we now try to find a
+ middle ground between physical and access time order.
+
+ * /etc/os-release files gained a new BUILD_ID= field for usage
+ on operating systems that provide continuous builds of OS
+ images.

CHANGES WITH 199:
* systemd-python gained an API exposing libsystemd-daemon.
ExecStartPre= may now leave data in /tmp that ExecStart= of
the same service can still access). When a service is
stopped its temporary directories are immediately deleted
- (normal clean-up with tmpfiles still is done in addition to
+ (normal clean-up with tmpfiles is still done in addition to
this though).
* By default, systemd will now set a couple of sysctl
be reasonably safe, and good defaults for all new systems.
* The predictable network naming logic may now be turned off
- with a new kernel command line switch: net.ifnames=0
+ with a new kernel command line switch: net.ifnames=0.
* A new libsystemd-bus module has been added that implements a
pretty complete D-Bus client library. For details see:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2013-March/009797.html
* journald will now explicitly flush the journal files to disk
- the latest 5min after each write. This will also mark the
- files as offline then until the next write. This should
- increase reliability. The synchronization delay can be
- configured via SyncIntervalSec= in journald.conf.

* There's a new remote-fs-setup.target unit that can be used
to pull in specific services when at least one remote file
* libudev gained a new call udev_device_set_attribute_value()
to set sysfs attributes of a device.
- * The udev daemon now adjusts its default number of paralell
- executed worker processes based on the number of available
+ * The udev daemon now sets the default number of worker
+ processes executed in parallel based on the number of available
CPUs instead of the amount of available RAM. This is supposed
to provide a more reliable default and limit a too agressive
paralellism for setups with 1000s of devices connected.
