systemd System and Service Manager
+CHANGES WITH 206:
+
+ * The documentation has been updated to cover the various new
+ concepts introduced with 205.
+
+ * Unit files now understand the new %v specifier which
+ resolves to the kernel version string as returned by "uname
+ -r".
+
+ * systemctl now supports filtering the unit list output by
+ load state, active state and sub state, using the new
+ --state= parameter.
+
+ * "systemctl status" will now show the results of the
+ condition checks (like ConditionPathExists= and similar) of
+ the last start attempts of the unit. 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:
frameworks with ConditionSecurity= has been added.
* journalctl gained a new "-k" switch for showing only kernel
- messages.
+ messages, mimicking dmesg output; in addition to "--user"
+ and "--system" switches for showing only user's own logs
+ and system logs.
* systemd-delta can now show information about drop-in
snippets extending unit files.
added to configure the default.target symlink, which
controls what to boot into by default.
+ * "systemctl set-log-level" has been added as a convenient
+ way to raise and lower systemd logging threshold.
+
* "systemd-analyze plot" will now show the time the various
generators needed for execution, as well as information
about the unit file loading.
- * journalctl gained new "--user" and "--system" switches to
- only show user/system logs.
-
* libsystemd-journal gained a new sd_journal_open_files() call
for opening specific journal files. journactl also gained a
new switch to expose this new functionality. Previously we
