438bacd18e0b8766c5add47f28b04876272daa97Lennart Poettering * Building man pages is now optional which should be useful

d87be9b0af81a6e07d4fb3028e45c4409100dc26Lennart Poettering * Watchdog support for supervising services is now usable. In

5a7e959984788cf89719dec31999409b63bb802bLennart Poettering * We now set SIGPIPE to ignore by default, since it only is
5a7e959984788cf89719dec31999409b63bb802bLennart Poettering useful in shell pipelines, and has little use in general

fd4d89b2c0b31da01d134301e30916931ae3c7d9Lennart Poettering now immediately changes its argv[0] to reflect which process
fd4d89b2c0b31da01d134301e30916931ae3c7d9Lennart Poettering it will execute. This is useful to minimize the time window

a32f224aafaf47d3489a730259a47ef45781193eLennart Poettering rotating disks, since we might starve non-file-system IO to

eecd1362f7f4de432483b5d77c56726c3621a83aLennart Poettering thus will no longer act as synchronization point during
eecd1362f7f4de432483b5d77c56726c3621a83aLennart Poettering * systemctl list-unit-files now supports --root=.
eecd1362f7f4de432483b5d77c56726c3621a83aLennart Poettering * systemd-tmpfiles now understands two new commands: z, Z for
06dab8e18aebf822392c7ca66c5bf3c1200fdec8Lennart Poettering relabelling files according to the SELinux database. This is
06dab8e18aebf822392c7ca66c5bf3c1200fdec8Lennart Poettering useful to apply SELinux labels to specific files in /sys,
7e2668c6fd5720ae4d2d55eb8a062739687516afLennart Poettering among other things.
e85647f73e235c2a6ea412cb8d841e092c373501Lennart Poettering * Output of SysV services is now forwarded to both the console
e85647f73e235c2a6ea412cb8d841e092c373501Lennart Poettering and the journal by default, not only just the console.
a888b352eb53b07daa24fa859ceeb254336b293dLennart Poettering * New man pages for all APIs from libsystemd-login.
3b2d5b02ae231f1d3eb0d96eb980155d7797304eLennart Poettering * The build tree got reorganized and a the build system is a
0f0dbc46ccf5aaaf3131446d0a4d78bc97a37295Lennart Poettering lot more modular allowing embedded setups to specifically
0f0dbc46ccf5aaaf3131446d0a4d78bc97a37295Lennart Poettering select the components of systemd they are interested in.
3d9a412243035beeaaf3465a62065444a5adf21cLennart Poettering * Support for Linux systems lacking the kernel VT subsystem is
9efaf380a7c7fa16f44b1aa15b967e99f331203aLennart Poettering * configure's --with-rootdir= got renamed to
9efaf380a7c7fa16f44b1aa15b967e99f331203aLennart Poettering --with-rootprefix= to follow the naming used by udev and
5ba2dc259f3cdd8fddef68cfd28380a32534e49aKay Sievers * Unless specified otherwise we'll now install to /usr instead
5ba2dc259f3cdd8fddef68cfd28380a32534e49aKay Sievers of /usr/local by default.
5ba2dc259f3cdd8fddef68cfd28380a32534e49aKay Sievers * Processes with '@' in argv[0][0] are now excluded from the
20ffc4c4a9226b0e45cc02ad9c0108981626c0bbKay Sievers final shut-down killing spree, following the logic explained

762f91fa600b3b2887e3b088cd700216a85e3c81Kay Sievers * All processes remaining in a service cgroup when we enter
b45f770f0049fbdf3f6c9db0ab11deeff4ccd86dKay Sievers the START or START_PRE states are now killed with
b8217b7bd5fd171916a095b150fad4c3a37f5a41Kay Sievers SIGKILL. That means it is no longer possible to spawn
b45f770f0049fbdf3f6c9db0ab11deeff4ccd86dKay Sievers background processes from ExecStart= lines (which was never
b45f770f0049fbdf3f6c9db0ab11deeff4ccd86dKay Sievers supported anyway, and bad style).
b8217b7bd5fd171916a095b150fad4c3a37f5a41Kay Sievers * New PropagateReloadTo=/PropagateReloadFrom= options to bind
08f23fd29c9df9c8b4e874933eb39711f069754bLennart Poettering reloading of units together.
