+CHANGES WITH 223:
+
+ * The python-systemd code has been removed from the systemd repository.
+ A new repository has been created which accommodates the code from
+ now on, and we kindly ask distributions to create a separate package
+ for this: https://github.com/systemd/python-systemd
+
+ * The systemd daemon will now reload its main configuration
+ (/etc/systemd/system.conf) on daemon-reload.
+
+ * sd-dhcp now exposes vendor specific extensions via
+ sd_dhcp_lease_get_vendor_specific().
+
+ * systemd-networkd gained a number of new configuration options.
+
+ - A new boolean configuration option for TAP devices called
+ 'VNetHeader='. If set, the IFF_VNET_HDR flag is set for the
+ device, thus allowing to send and receive GSO packets.
+
+ - A new tunnel configuration option called 'CopyDSCP='.
+ If enabled, the DSCP field of ip6 tunnels is copied into the
+ decapsulated packet.
+
+ - A set of boolean bridge configuration options were added.
+ 'UseBPDU=', 'HairPin=', 'FastLeave=', 'AllowPortToBeRoot=',
+ and 'UnicastFlood=' are now parsed by networkd and applied to the
+ respective bridge link device via the respective IFLA_BRPORT_*
+ netlink attribute.
+
+ - A new string configuration option to override the hostname sent
+ to a DHCP server, called 'Hostname='. If set and 'SendHostname='
+ is true, networkd will use the configured hostname instead of the
+ system hostname when sending DHCP requests.
+
+ - A new tunnel configuration option called 'IPv6FlowLabel='. If set,
+ networkd will configure the IPv6 flow-label of the tunnel device
+ according to RFC2460.
+
+ - The 'macvtap' virtual network devices are now supported, similar to
+ the already supported 'macvlan' devices.
+
+ * systemd-resolved now implements RFC5452 to improve resilience against
+ cache poisoning. Additionally, source port randomization is enabled
+ by default to further protect against DNS spoofing attacks.
+
+ * nss-mymachines now supports translating UIDs and GIDs of running
+ containers with user-namespaces enabled. If a container 'foo'
+ translates a host uid 'UID' to the container uid 'TUID', then
+ nss-mymachines will also map uid 'UID' to/from username 'vu-foo-TUID'
+ (with 'foo' and 'TUID' replaced accordingly). Similarly, groups are
+ mapped as 'vg-foo-TGID'.

+
+CHANGES WITH 222:
+
+ * udev does not longer support the WAIT_FOR_SYSFS= key in udev rules.
+ There are no known issues with current sysfs, and udev does not need
+ or should be used to work around such bugs.
+
+ * udev does no longer enable USB HID power management. Several reports
+ indicate, that some devices cannot handle that setting.
+
+ * The udev accelerometer helper was removed. The functionality
+ is now fully included in iio-sensor-proxy. But this means,
+ older iio-sensor-proxy versions will no longer provide
+ accelerometer/orientation data with this systemd version.
+ Please upgrade iio-sensor-proxy to version 1.0.
+
+ * networkd gained a new configuration option IPv6PrivacyExtensions=
+ which enables IPv6 privacy extensions (RFC 4941, "Privacy Extensions
+ for Stateless Address") on selected networks.
+
+ * For the sake of fewer build-time dependencies and less code in the
+ main repository, the python bindings are about to be removed in the
+ next release. A new repository has been created which accommodates
+ the code from now on, and we kindly ask distributions to create a
+ separate package for this. The removal will take place in v223.

+
+CHANGES WITH 221:
+
+ * The sd-bus.h and sd-event.h APIs have now been declared
+ stable and have been added to the official interface of
+ libsystemd.so. sd-bus implements an alternative D-Bus client
+ library, that is relatively easy to use, very efficient and
+ supports both classic D-Bus as well as kdbus as transport
+ backend. sd-event is a generic event loop abstraction that
+ is built around Linux epoll, but adds features such as event
+ prioritization or efficient timer handling. Both APIs are good
+ choices for C programs looking for a bus and/or event loop
+ implementation that is minimal and does not have to be
+ portable to other kernels.
+
+ * kdbus support is no longer compile-time optional. It is now
+ always built-in. However, it can still be disabled at
+ runtime using the kdbus=0 kernel command line setting, and
+ that setting may be changed to default to off, by specifying
+ --disable-kdbus at build-time. Note though that the kernel
+ command line setting has no effect if the kdbus.ko kernel
+ module is not installed, in which case kdbus is (obviously)
+ also disabled. We encourage all downstream distributions to
+ begin testing kdbus by adding it to the kernel images in the
+ development distributions, and leaving kdbus support in
+ systemd enabled.
+
+ * The minimal required util-linux version has been bumped to
+ 2.26.
+
+ * Support for chkconfig (--enable-chkconfig) was removed in
+ favor of calling an abstraction tool
+ /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install. This needs to be
+ implemented for your distribution. See "SYSV INIT.D SCRIPTS"
+ in README for details.
+
+ * If there's a systemd unit and a SysV init script for the
+ same service name, and the user executes "systemctl enable"
+ for it (or a related call), then this will now enable both
+ (or execute the related operation on both), not just the
+ unit.
+
+ * The libudev API documentation has been converted from gtkdoc
+ into man pages.
+
+ * gudev has been removed from the systemd tree, it is now an
+ external project.
+
+ * The systemd-cgtop tool learnt a new --raw switch to generate
+ "raw" (machine parsable) output.
+
+ * networkd's IPForwarding= .network file setting learnt the
+ new setting "kernel", which ensures that networkd does not
+ change the IP forwarding sysctl from the default kernel
+ state.
+
+ * The systemd-logind bus API now exposes a new boolean
+ property "Docked" that reports whether logind considers the
+ system "docked", i.e. connected to a docking station or not.

+
+CHANGES WITH 220:
+
+ * The gudev library has been extracted into a separate repository
+ available at: https://git.gnome.org/browse/libgudev/
+ It is now managed as part of the Gnome project. Distributions
+ are recommended to pass --disable-gudev to systemd and use
+ gudev from the Gnome project instead. gudev is still included
+ in systemd, for now. It will be removed soon, though. Please
+ also see the announcement-thread on systemd-devel:
+ http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-May/032070.html
+
+ * systemd now exposes a CPUUsageNSec= property for each
+ service unit on the bus, that contains the overall consumed
+ CPU time of a service (the sum of what each process of the
+ service consumed). This value is only available if
+ CPUAccounting= is turned on for a service, and is then shown
+ in the "systemctl status" output.
+
+ * Support for configuring alternative mappings of the old SysV
+ runlevels to systemd targets has been removed. They are now
+ hardcoded in a way that runlevels 2, 3, 4 all map to
+ multi-user.target and 5 to graphical.target (which
+ previously was already the default behaviour).
+
+ * The auto-mounter logic gained support for mount point
+ expiry, using a new TimeoutIdleSec= setting in .automount
+ units. (Also available as x-systemd.idle-timeout= in /etc/fstab).
+
+ * The EFI System Partition (ESP) as mounted to /boot by
+ systemd-efi-boot-generator will now be unmounted
+ automatically after 2 minutes of not being used. This should
+ minimize the risk of ESP corruptions.
+
+ * New /etc/fstab options x-systemd.requires= and
+ x-systemd.requires-mounts-for= are now supported to express
+ additional dependencies for mounts. This is useful for
+ journalling file systems that support external journal
+ devices or overlay file systems that require underlying file
+ systems to be mounted.
+
+ * systemd does not support direct live-upgrades (via systemctl
+ daemon-reexec) from versions older than v44 anymore. As no
+ distribution we are aware of shipped such old versions in a
+ stable release this should not be problematic.
+
+ * When systemd forks off a new per-connection service instance
+ it will now set the $REMOTE_ADDR environment variable to the
+ remote IP address, and $REMOTE_PORT environment variable to
+ the remote IP port. This behaviour is similar to the
+ corresponding environment variables defined by CGI.
+
+ * systemd-networkd gained support for uplink failure
+ detection. The BindCarrier= option allows binding interface
+ configuration dynamically to the link sense of other
+ interfaces. This is useful to achieve behaviour like in
+ network switches.
+
+ * systemd-networkd gained support for configuring the DHCP
+ client identifier to use when requesting leases.
+
+ * systemd-networkd now has a per-network UseNTP= option to
+ configure whether NTP server information acquired via DHCP
+ is passed on to services like systemd-timesyncd.
+
+ * systemd-networkd gained support for vti6 tunnels.
+
+ * Note that systemd-networkd manages the sysctl variable
+ /proc/sys/net/ipv[46]/conf/*/forwarding for each interface
+ it is configured for since v219. The variable controls IP
+ forwarding, and is a per-interface alternative to the global
+ /proc/sys/net/ipv[46]/ip_forward. This setting is
+ configurable in the IPForward= option, which defaults to
+ "no". This means if networkd is used for an interface it is
+ no longer sufficient to set the global sysctl option to turn
+ on IP forwarding! Instead, the .network file option
+ IPForward= needs to be turned on! Note that the
+ implementation of this behaviour was broken in v219 and has
+ been fixed in v220.
+
+ * Many bonding and vxlan options are now configurable in
+ systemd-networkd.
