It + is still fully supported to use the udev daemon and tools without + systemd running, like in initramfs or other init systems. Building + udev though, will require the *build* of the systemd tree, but + udev can be properly *run* without systems. + + * udev: /lib/udev/devices/ are not read anymore; systemd-tmpfiles + should be used to create dead device nodes as workarounds for broken + subsystems. + + * udev: RUN+="socket:..." and udev_monitor_new_from_socket() is + no longer supported. udev_monitor_new_from_netlink() needs to be + used to subscribe to events. + + * udev: when udevd is started by systemd, processes which are left + behind by forking them off of udev rules, are unconditionally cleaned + up and killed now after the event handling has finished. Services or + daemons must be started as systemd services. Services can be + pulled-in by udev to ge started, but they can no longer be directly + forked by udev rules. + + * udev: the daemon binary is called systemd-udevd now and installed + in /usr/lib/systemd/. Standalone builds or non-systemd systems need + to adapt to that, create symlink, or rename the binary after building + it. + + * systemd-logingctl and systemd-journalctl have been renamed + to logingctl and journalctl to match systemctl. + + * The config files: /etc/systemd/systemd-logind.conf and + /etc/systemd/systemd-journald.conf have been renamed to + logind.conf and journald.conf. Package updates should rename + the files to the new names on upgrade. + +CHANGES WITH 44: + * This is mostly a bugfix release + + * Support optional initialization of the machine ID from the + KVM or container configured UUID. + + * Support immediate reboots with "systemctl reboot -ff" + + * Show /etc/os-release data in systemd-analyze output + + * Many bugfixes for the journal, including endianess fixes and + ensuring that disk space enforcement works + + * sd-login.h is C++ comptaible again + + * Extend the /etc/os-release format on request of the Debian + folks + + * We now refuse non-UTF8 strings used in various configuration + and unit files.
