systemd System and Service Manager
+CHANGES WITH 216:
+ * timedated does no longer read NTP unit names from
+ /usr/lib/systemd/ntp-units.d/*.list. Alternative NTP
+ implementations should add a:
+ Conflicts=systemd-timesyncd.service
+ to take over and replace systemd's NTP functionality.
+
CHANGES WITH 215:
* A new tool systemd-sysusers has been added. This tool
dynamic loader cache (ldconfig). The systemd-sysusers tool
described above also makes use of this now. With this in
place it is now possible to start up a minimal operating
- system with /etc empty cleanly. Fore more information on the
+ system with /etc empty cleanly. For more information on the
concepts involved see this recent blog story:

passed in from the server. Note that the [DHCPv4] section
known in older systemd-networkd versions has been renamed to
[DHCP] and is now also used by the DHCPv6 client. Existing
- .network files using settings of this section need to be
- updated.
+ .network files using settings of this section should be
+ updated, though compatibility is maintained. Optionally, the
+ client hostname may now be sent to the DHCP server.
- * networkd gained support for vxlan virtual networks.
+ * networkd gained support for vxlan virtual networks as well
+ as tun/tap and dummy devices.
* networkd gained support for automatic allocation of address
ranges for interfaces from a system-wide pool of
* For tmpfiles' "L", "L+", "C" and "C+" directives the final
'argument' field (which so far specified the source to
- symlink/copy the files from) is now optional. If ommited the
+ symlink/copy the files from) is now optional. If omitted the
same file os copied from /usr/share/factory/ suffixed by the
full destination path. This is useful for populating /etc
with essential files, by copying them from vendor defaults
* A new command "systemctl is-system-running" has been added
that allows checking the overall state of the system, for
- example whether it is fully up an running.
+ example whether it is fully up and running.
* When the system boots up with an empty /etc, the equivalent
to "systemctl preset-all" is executed during early boot, to
the old name to the new name.
* journald's SplitMode= now defaults to "uid". This makes sure
- that unpriviliged users can access their own coredumps with
+ that unprivileged users can access their own coredumps with
coredumpctl without restrictions.
* New kernel command line options "systemd.wants=" (for
* A new man page file-hierarchy(7) has been added that
contains a minimized, modernized version of the file system
layout systemd expects, similar in style to the FHS
- specification or hier(5).
+ specification or hier(5). A new tool systemd-path(1) has
+ been added to query many of these paths for the local
+ machine and user.
* Automatic time-based clean-up of $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is no
longer done. Since the directory now has a per-user size
path for the primary architecture of the system), and a
couple of drop-in directories.
+ * udev's predictable network interface names now use the dev_port
+ sysfs attribute, introduced in linux 3.15 instead of dev_id to
+ distinguish between ports of the same PCI function. dev_id should
+ only be used for ports using the same HW address, hence the need
+ for dev_port.
+
+ * machined has been updated to export the OS version of a
+ container (read from /etc/os-release and
+ /usr/lib/os-release) on the bus. This is now shown in
+ "machinectl status" for a machine.
+
+ * A new service setting RestartForceExitStatus= has been
+ added. If configured to a set of exit signals or process
+ return values, the service will be restarted when the main
+ daemon process exits with any of them, regardless of the
+ Restart= setting.
+
+ * systemctl's -H switch for connecting to remote systemd
+ machines has been extended so that it may be used to
+ directly connect to a specific container on the
+ host. "systemctl -H root@foobar:waldi" will now connect as
+ user "root" to host "foobar", and then proceed directly to
+ the container named "waldi". Note that currently you have to
+ authenticate as user "root" for this to work, as entering
+ containers is a privileged operation.
