+CHANGES WITH 188:
+
+ * When running in --user mode systemd will now become a
+ subreaper (PR_SET_CHILD_SUBREAPER). This should make the ps
+ tree a lot more organized.
+
+ * A new PartOf= unit dependency type has been introduced that
+ may be used to group services in a natural way.
+
+ * "systemctl enable" may now be used to enable instances of
+ services.
+
+ * journalctl now prints error log levels in red, and
+ warning/notice log levels in bright white. It also supports
+ filtering by log level now.
+
+ * cgtop gained a new -n switch (similar to top), to configure
+ the maximum number of iterations to run for. It also gained
+ -b, to run in batch mode (accepting no input).
+
+ * The suffix ".service" may now be ommited on most systemctl
+ command lines involving service unit names.
+
+ * There's a new bus call in logind to lock all sessions, as
+ well as a loginctl verb for it "lock-sessions".
+
+ * libsystemd-logind.so gained a new call sd_journal_perror()
+ that works similar to libc perror() but logs to the journal
+ and encodes structured information about the error number.
+
+ * /etc/crypttab entries now understand the new keyfile-size=
+ option.
+
+ * shutdown(8) now can send a (configurable) wall message when
+ a shutdown is cancelled.
+
+ * The mount propagation mode for the root file system will now
+ default to "shared", which is useful to make containers work
+ nicely out-of-the-box so that they receive new mounts from
+ the host. This can be undone locally by running "mount
+ --make-rprivate /" if needed.
+
+ * The prefdm.service file has been removed. Distributions
+ should maintain this unit downstream if they intend to keep
+ it around. However, we recommend writing normal unit files
+ for display managers instead.
+
+ * Since systemd is a crucial part of the OS we will now
+ default to a number of compiler switches that improve
+ security (hardening) such as read-only relocations, stack
+ protection, and suchlike.
+
+ * The TimeoutSec= setting for services is now split into
+ TimeoutStartSec= and TimeoutStopSec= to allow configuration
+ of individual time outs for the start and the stop phase of
+ the service.

+
+CHANGES WITH 187:
+
+ * The journal and id128 C APIs are now fully documented as man
+ pages.
+
+ * Extra safety checks have been added when transitioning from
+ the initial RAM disk to the main system to avoid accidental
+ data loss.
+
+ * /etc/crypttab entries now understand the new keyfile-offset=
+ option.
+
+ * systemctl -t can now be used to filter by unit load state.
+
+ * The journal C API gained the new sd_journal_wait() call to
+ make writing synchronous journal clients easier.
+
+ * journalctl gained the new -D switch to show journals from a
+ specific directory.
+
+ * journalctl now displays a special marker between log
+ messages of two different boots.
+
+ * The journal is now explicitly flushed to /var via a service
+ systemd-journal-flush.service, rather than implicitly simply
+ by seeing /var/log/journal to be writable.
+
+ * journalctl (and the journal C APIs) can now match for much
+ more complex expressions, with alternatives and
+ disjunctions.
+
+ * When transitioning from the initial RAM disk to the main
+ system we will now kill all processes in a killing spree to
+ ensure no processes stay around by accident.
+
+ * Three new specifiers may be used in unit files: %u, %h, %s
+ resolve to the user name, user home directory resp. user
+ shell. This is useful for running systemd user instances.
+
+ * We now automatically rotate journal files if their data
+ object hash table gets a fill level > 75%. We also size the
+ hash table based on the configured maximum file size. This
+ together should lower hash collisions drastically and thus
+ speed things up a bit.
+
+ * journalctl gained the new "--header" switch to introspect
+ header data of journal files.
+
+ * A new setting SystemCallFilters= has been added to services
+ which may be used to apply blacklists or whitelists to
+ system calls. This is based on SECCOMP Mode 2 of Linux 3.5.
+
+ * nspawn gained a new --link-journal= switch (and quicker: -j)
+ to link the container journal with the host. This makes it
+ very easy to centralize log viewing on the host for all
+ guests while still keeping the journal files separated.
+
+ * Many bugfixes and optimizations
