b6a867398de9f75fb623a84db7c6181d26b0a8d5Lennart PoetteringCHANGES WITH 191:
b6a867398de9f75fb623a84db7c6181d26b0a8d5Lennart Poettering * nspawn will now create a symlink /etc/localtime in the
b6a867398de9f75fb623a84db7c6181d26b0a8d5Lennart Poettering container environment, copying the host's timezone
b6a867398de9f75fb623a84db7c6181d26b0a8d5Lennart Poettering setting. Previously this has been done via a bind mount, but
b6a867398de9f75fb623a84db7c6181d26b0a8d5Lennart Poettering since symlinks cannot be bind mounted this has now been
b6a867398de9f75fb623a84db7c6181d26b0a8d5Lennart Poettering changed to create/update the appropriate symlink.
b6a867398de9f75fb623a84db7c6181d26b0a8d5Lennart Poettering * journalctl -n's line number argument is now optional, and
b6a867398de9f75fb623a84db7c6181d26b0a8d5Lennart Poettering will default to 10 if omitted.
b6a867398de9f75fb623a84db7c6181d26b0a8d5Lennart Poettering * journald will now log the maximum size the journal files may
b6a867398de9f75fb623a84db7c6181d26b0a8d5Lennart Poettering take up on disk. This is particularly useful if the default
b6a867398de9f75fb623a84db7c6181d26b0a8d5Lennart Poettering built-in logic of determining this parameter from the file
b6a867398de9f75fb623a84db7c6181d26b0a8d5Lennart Poettering system size is used. Use "systemctl status
6563b535a062055ae68f2e574018d9d04a864b65Lennart Poettering systemd-journald.service" to see this information.
b6a867398de9f75fb623a84db7c6181d26b0a8d5Lennart Poettering * The multi-seat X wrapper tool has been stripped down. As X
b6a867398de9f75fb623a84db7c6181d26b0a8d5Lennart Poettering is now capable of enumerating graphics devices via udev in a
b6a867398de9f75fb623a84db7c6181d26b0a8d5Lennart Poettering seat-aware way the wrapper is not strictly necessary
b6a867398de9f75fb623a84db7c6181d26b0a8d5Lennart Poettering anymore. A stripped down temporary stop-gap is still shipped
b6a867398de9f75fb623a84db7c6181d26b0a8d5Lennart Poettering until the upstream display managers have been updated to
b6a867398de9f75fb623a84db7c6181d26b0a8d5Lennart Poettering fully support the new X logic. Expect this wrapper to be
6563b535a062055ae68f2e574018d9d04a864b65Lennart Poettering removed entirely in one of the next releases.
b6a867398de9f75fb623a84db7c6181d26b0a8d5Lennart Poettering * HandleSleepKey= in logind.conf has been split up into
b6a867398de9f75fb623a84db7c6181d26b0a8d5Lennart Poettering HandleSuspendKey= and HandleHibernateKey=. The old setting
6563b535a062055ae68f2e574018d9d04a864b65Lennart Poettering is not available anymore. X11 and the kernel are
b6a867398de9f75fb623a84db7c6181d26b0a8d5Lennart Poettering distuingishing between these keys and we should too. This
b6a867398de9f75fb623a84db7c6181d26b0a8d5Lennart Poettering also means the inhibition lock for these keys has been split

0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart PoetteringCHANGES WITH 190:
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering * Whenever a unit changes state we'll now log this to the
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering journal and show along the unit's own log output in
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering "systemctl status".
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering * ConditionPathIsMountPoint= can now properly detect bind
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering mount points too. (Previously, a bind mount of one file
8d0256b7eb119de92c748cf566257996b02fb506Lennart Poettering system to another place in the same file system could not be
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering detected as mount, since they shared struct stat's st_dev
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering * We will now mount the cgroup controllers cpu, cpuacct,
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering cpuset and the controllers net_cls, net_prio together by
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering * nspawn containers will now have a virtualized boot
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering ID. (i.e. /proc/sys/kernel/random/boot_id is now mounted
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering over with a randomized ID at container initialization). This
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering has the effect of making "journalctl -b" do the right thing
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering in a container.
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering * The JSON output journal serialization has been updated not
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering to generate "endless" list objects anymore, but rather one
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering JSON object per line. This is more in line how most JSON
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering parsers expect JSON objects. The new output mode
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering "json-pretty" has been added to provide similar output, but
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering neatly aligned for readability by humans.
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering * We dropped all explicit sync() invocations in the shutdown
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering code. The kernel does this implicitly anyway in the kernel
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering reboot() syscall. halt(8)'s -n option is now a compatibility
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering * We now support virtualized reboot() in containers, as
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering supported by newer kernels. We will fall back to exit() if
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering CAP_SYS_REBOOT is not available to the container. Also,
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering nspawn makes use of this now and will actually reboot the
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering container if the containerized OS asks for that.
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering * journalctl will only show local log output by default
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering now. Use --merge (-m) to show remote log output, too.
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering * libsystemd-journal gained the new sd_journal_get_usage()
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering call to determine the current disk usage of all journal
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering files. This is exposed in the new "journalctl --disk-usage"
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering * journald gained a new configuration setting SplitMode= in
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering journald.conf which may be used to control how user journals
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering are split off. See journald.conf(5) for details.
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering * A new condition type ConditionFileNotEmpty= has been added.
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering * tmpfiles' "w" lines now support file globbing, to write
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering multiple files at once.
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering * We added Python bindings for the journal submission
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering APIs. More Python APIs for a number of selected APIs will
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering likely follow. Note that we intend to add native bindings
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering only for the Python language, as we consider it common
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering enough to deserve bindings shipped within systemd. There are
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering various projects outside of systemd that provide bindings
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering for languages such as PHP or Lua.
a98d5d64720bdf32e3b5f72f896b583e23f730adLennart Poettering * Many conditions will now resolve specifiers such as %i. In
a98d5d64720bdf32e3b5f72f896b583e23f730adLennart Poettering addition, PathChanged= and related directives of .path units
a98d5d64720bdf32e3b5f72f896b583e23f730adLennart Poettering now support specifiers as well.
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering * There's now a new RPM macro definition for the system preset
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering dir: %_presetdir.
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering * journald will now warn if it can't foward a message to the
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering syslog daemon because it's socket is full.
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering * timedated will no longer write or process /etc/timezone,
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering except on Debian. As we do not support late mounted /usr
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering anymore /etc/localtime always being a symlink is now safe,
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering and hence the information in /etc/timezone is not necessary
aaccc32cdc44b2b972946e44792d63ae17c089c2Lennart Poettering * logind will now always reserve one VT for a text getty (VT6
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering by default). Previously if more than 6 X sessions where
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering started they took up all the VTs with auto-spawned gettys,
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering so that no text gettys were available anymore.
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering * udev will now automatically inform the btrfs kernel logic
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering about btrfs RAID components showing up. This should make
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering simple hotplug based btrfs RAID assembly work.
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering * PID 1 will now increase its RLIMIT_NOFILE to 64K by default
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering (but not for its children which will stay at the kernel
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering default). This should allow setups with a lot more listening
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering * systemd will now always pass the configured timezone to the
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering kernel at boot. timedated will do the same when the timezone
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering * logind's inhibition logic has been updated. By default,
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering logind will now handle the lid switch, the power and sleep
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering keys all the time, even in graphical sessions. If DEs want
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering to handle these events on their own they should take the new
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering handle-power-key, handle-sleep-key and handle-lid-switch
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering inhibitors during their runtime. A simple way to achiveve
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering that is to invoke the DE wrapped in an invocation of:
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering systemd-inhibit --what=handle-power-key:handle-sleep-key:handle-lid-switch ...
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering * Access to unit operations is now checked via SELinux taking
0c11f949db8d6d9899e0c473bf1f8cca0614493eLennart Poettering the unit file label and client process label into account.
aad803af990f7c88e94427b9278d88afe3a12d38Lennart Poettering * systemd will now notify the administrator in the journal
aad803af990f7c88e94427b9278d88afe3a12d38Lennart Poettering when he over-mounts a non-empty directory.
aad803af990f7c88e94427b9278d88afe3a12d38Lennart Poettering * There are new specifiers that are resolved in unit files,
aad803af990f7c88e94427b9278d88afe3a12d38Lennart Poettering for the host name (%H), the machine ID (%m) and the boot ID

38a60d7112d33ffd596b23e8df53d75a7c09e71bLennart PoetteringCHANGES WITH 189:
38a60d7112d33ffd596b23e8df53d75a7c09e71bLennart Poettering * Support for reading structured kernel messages from
38a60d7112d33ffd596b23e8df53d75a7c09e71bLennart Poettering /dev/kmsg has now been added and is enabled by default.
38a60d7112d33ffd596b23e8df53d75a7c09e71bLennart Poettering * Support for reading kernel messages from /proc/kmsg has now
38a60d7112d33ffd596b23e8df53d75a7c09e71bLennart Poettering been removed. If you want kernel messages in the journal
38a60d7112d33ffd596b23e8df53d75a7c09e71bLennart Poettering make sure to run a recent kernel (>= 3.5) that supports
38a60d7112d33ffd596b23e8df53d75a7c09e71bLennart Poettering reading structured messages from /dev/kmsg (see
38a60d7112d33ffd596b23e8df53d75a7c09e71bLennart Poettering above). /proc/kmsg is now exclusive property of classic
38a60d7112d33ffd596b23e8df53d75a7c09e71bLennart Poettering syslog daemons again.
38a60d7112d33ffd596b23e8df53d75a7c09e71bLennart Poettering * The libudev API gained the new
38a60d7112d33ffd596b23e8df53d75a7c09e71bLennart Poettering udev_device_new_from_device_id() call.
38a60d7112d33ffd596b23e8df53d75a7c09e71bLennart Poettering * The logic for file system namespace (ReadOnlyDirectory=,
38a60d7112d33ffd596b23e8df53d75a7c09e71bLennart Poettering ReadWriteDirectoy=, PrivateTmp=) has been reworked not to
38a60d7112d33ffd596b23e8df53d75a7c09e71bLennart Poettering require pivot_root() anymore. This means fewer temporary
38a60d7112d33ffd596b23e8df53d75a7c09e71bLennart Poettering directories are created below /tmp for this feature.
38a60d7112d33ffd596b23e8df53d75a7c09e71bLennart Poettering * nspawn containers will now see and receive all submounts
38a60d7112d33ffd596b23e8df53d75a7c09e71bLennart Poettering made on the host OS below the root file system of the
38a60d7112d33ffd596b23e8df53d75a7c09e71bLennart Poettering * Forward Secure Sealing is now supported for Journal files,
38a60d7112d33ffd596b23e8df53d75a7c09e71bLennart Poettering which provide cryptographical sealing of journal files so
38a60d7112d33ffd596b23e8df53d75a7c09e71bLennart Poettering that attackers cannot alter log history anymore without this
38a60d7112d33ffd596b23e8df53d75a7c09e71bLennart Poettering being detectable. Lennart will soon post a blog story about
38a60d7112d33ffd596b23e8df53d75a7c09e71bLennart Poettering this explaining it in more detail.
38a60d7112d33ffd596b23e8df53d75a7c09e71bLennart Poettering * There are two new service settings RestartPreventExitStatus=
38a60d7112d33ffd596b23e8df53d75a7c09e71bLennart Poettering and SuccessExitStatus= which allow configuration of exit
38a60d7112d33ffd596b23e8df53d75a7c09e71bLennart Poettering status (exit code or signal) which will be excepted from the
38a60d7112d33ffd596b23e8df53d75a7c09e71bLennart Poettering restart logic, resp. consider successful.
38a60d7112d33ffd596b23e8df53d75a7c09e71bLennart Poettering * journalctl gained the new --verify switch that can be used
38a60d7112d33ffd596b23e8df53d75a7c09e71bLennart Poettering to check the integrity of the structure of journal files and
38a60d7112d33ffd596b23e8df53d75a7c09e71bLennart Poettering (if Forward Secure Sealing is enabled) the contents of
38a60d7112d33ffd596b23e8df53d75a7c09e71bLennart Poettering journal files.
38a60d7112d33ffd596b23e8df53d75a7c09e71bLennart Poettering * nspawn containers will now be run with /dev/stdin, /dev/fd/
38a60d7112d33ffd596b23e8df53d75a7c09e71bLennart Poettering and similar symlinks pre-created. This makes running shells
38a60d7112d33ffd596b23e8df53d75a7c09e71bLennart Poettering as container init process a lot more fun.
38a60d7112d33ffd596b23e8df53d75a7c09e71bLennart Poettering * The fstab support can now handle PARTUUID= and PARTLABEL=
38a60d7112d33ffd596b23e8df53d75a7c09e71bLennart Poettering * A new ConditionHost= condition has been added to match
38a60d7112d33ffd596b23e8df53d75a7c09e71bLennart Poettering against the hostname (with globs) and machine ID. This is
38a60d7112d33ffd596b23e8df53d75a7c09e71bLennart Poettering useful for clusters where a single OS image is used to
38a60d7112d33ffd596b23e8df53d75a7c09e71bLennart Poettering provision a large number of hosts which shall run slightly
38a60d7112d33ffd596b23e8df53d75a7c09e71bLennart Poettering different sets of services.
38a60d7112d33ffd596b23e8df53d75a7c09e71bLennart Poettering * Services which hit the restart limit will now be placed in a
38a60d7112d33ffd596b23e8df53d75a7c09e71bLennart Poettering failure state.

c269cec334f940d82146f70d69125b1caef08baaLennart PoetteringCHANGES WITH 188:
c269cec334f940d82146f70d69125b1caef08baaLennart Poettering * When running in --user mode systemd will now become a
c269cec334f940d82146f70d69125b1caef08baaLennart Poettering subreaper (PR_SET_CHILD_SUBREAPER). This should make the ps
c269cec334f940d82146f70d69125b1caef08baaLennart Poettering tree a lot more organized.
c269cec334f940d82146f70d69125b1caef08baaLennart Poettering * A new PartOf= unit dependency type has been introduced that
c269cec334f940d82146f70d69125b1caef08baaLennart Poettering may be used to group services in a natural way.
c269cec334f940d82146f70d69125b1caef08baaLennart Poettering * "systemctl enable" may now be used to enable instances of
c269cec334f940d82146f70d69125b1caef08baaLennart Poettering * journalctl now prints error log levels in red, and
c269cec334f940d82146f70d69125b1caef08baaLennart Poettering warning/notice log levels in bright white. It also supports
c269cec334f940d82146f70d69125b1caef08baaLennart Poettering filtering by log level now.
c269cec334f940d82146f70d69125b1caef08baaLennart Poettering * cgtop gained a new -n switch (similar to top), to configure
c269cec334f940d82146f70d69125b1caef08baaLennart Poettering the maximum number of iterations to run for. It also gained
c269cec334f940d82146f70d69125b1caef08baaLennart Poettering -b, to run in batch mode (accepting no input).
c269cec334f940d82146f70d69125b1caef08baaLennart Poettering * The suffix ".service" may now be ommited on most systemctl
c269cec334f940d82146f70d69125b1caef08baaLennart Poettering command lines involving service unit names.
c269cec334f940d82146f70d69125b1caef08baaLennart Poettering * There's a new bus call in logind to lock all sessions, as
c269cec334f940d82146f70d69125b1caef08baaLennart Poettering well as a loginctl verb for it "lock-sessions".
c269cec334f940d82146f70d69125b1caef08baaLennart Poettering * libsystemd-logind.so gained a new call sd_journal_perror()
c269cec334f940d82146f70d69125b1caef08baaLennart Poettering that works similar to libc perror() but logs to the journal
c269cec334f940d82146f70d69125b1caef08baaLennart Poettering and encodes structured information about the error number.
c269cec334f940d82146f70d69125b1caef08baaLennart Poettering * /etc/crypttab entries now understand the new keyfile-size=
c269cec334f940d82146f70d69125b1caef08baaLennart Poettering * shutdown(8) now can send a (configurable) wall message when
c269cec334f940d82146f70d69125b1caef08baaLennart Poettering a shutdown is cancelled.
c269cec334f940d82146f70d69125b1caef08baaLennart Poettering * The mount propagation mode for the root file system will now
c269cec334f940d82146f70d69125b1caef08baaLennart Poettering default to "shared", which is useful to make containers work
c269cec334f940d82146f70d69125b1caef08baaLennart Poettering nicely out-of-the-box so that they receive new mounts from
c269cec334f940d82146f70d69125b1caef08baaLennart Poettering the host. This can be undone locally by running "mount
c269cec334f940d82146f70d69125b1caef08baaLennart Poettering --make-rprivate /" if needed.
c269cec334f940d82146f70d69125b1caef08baaLennart Poettering * The prefdm.service file has been removed. Distributions
c269cec334f940d82146f70d69125b1caef08baaLennart Poettering should maintain this unit downstream if they intend to keep
c269cec334f940d82146f70d69125b1caef08baaLennart Poettering it around. However, we recommend writing normal unit files
c269cec334f940d82146f70d69125b1caef08baaLennart Poettering for display managers instead.
c269cec334f940d82146f70d69125b1caef08baaLennart Poettering * Since systemd is a crucial part of the OS we will now
c269cec334f940d82146f70d69125b1caef08baaLennart Poettering default to a number of compiler switches that improve
c269cec334f940d82146f70d69125b1caef08baaLennart Poettering security (hardening) such as read-only relocations, stack
c269cec334f940d82146f70d69125b1caef08baaLennart Poettering protection, and suchlike.
c269cec334f940d82146f70d69125b1caef08baaLennart Poettering * The TimeoutSec= setting for services is now split into
c269cec334f940d82146f70d69125b1caef08baaLennart Poettering TimeoutStartSec= and TimeoutStopSec= to allow configuration
c269cec334f940d82146f70d69125b1caef08baaLennart Poettering of individual time outs for the start and the stop phase of

c4f1b86299c4ce2a62ce845bc48f2794f5459762Lennart PoetteringCHANGES WITH 187:
c4f1b86299c4ce2a62ce845bc48f2794f5459762Lennart Poettering * The journal and id128 C APIs are now fully documented as man
c4f1b86299c4ce2a62ce845bc48f2794f5459762Lennart Poettering * Extra safety checks have been added when transitioning from
c4f1b86299c4ce2a62ce845bc48f2794f5459762Lennart Poettering the initial RAM disk to the main system to avoid accidental
c269cec334f940d82146f70d69125b1caef08baaLennart Poettering * /etc/crypttab entries now understand the new keyfile-offset=
c4f1b86299c4ce2a62ce845bc48f2794f5459762Lennart Poettering * systemctl -t can now be used to filter by unit load state.
c4f1b86299c4ce2a62ce845bc48f2794f5459762Lennart Poettering * The journal C API gained the new sd_journal_wait() call to
c4f1b86299c4ce2a62ce845bc48f2794f5459762Lennart Poettering make writing synchronous journal clients easier.
c4f1b86299c4ce2a62ce845bc48f2794f5459762Lennart Poettering * journalctl gained the new -D switch to show journals from a
c4f1b86299c4ce2a62ce845bc48f2794f5459762Lennart Poettering specific directory.
c4f1b86299c4ce2a62ce845bc48f2794f5459762Lennart Poettering * journalctl now displays a special marker between log
c4f1b86299c4ce2a62ce845bc48f2794f5459762Lennart Poettering messages of two different boots.
c4f1b86299c4ce2a62ce845bc48f2794f5459762Lennart Poettering * The journal is now explicitly flushed to /var via a service
c4f1b86299c4ce2a62ce845bc48f2794f5459762Lennart Poettering systemd-journal-flush.service, rather than implicitly simply
c4f1b86299c4ce2a62ce845bc48f2794f5459762Lennart Poettering by seeing /var/log/journal to be writable.
c4f1b86299c4ce2a62ce845bc48f2794f5459762Lennart Poettering * journalctl (and the journal C APIs) can now match for much
c4f1b86299c4ce2a62ce845bc48f2794f5459762Lennart Poettering more complex expressions, with alternatives and
c4f1b86299c4ce2a62ce845bc48f2794f5459762Lennart Poettering * When transitioning from the initial RAM disk to the main
c4f1b86299c4ce2a62ce845bc48f2794f5459762Lennart Poettering system we will now kill all processes in a killing spree to
c4f1b86299c4ce2a62ce845bc48f2794f5459762Lennart Poettering ensure no processes stay around by accident.
c4f1b86299c4ce2a62ce845bc48f2794f5459762Lennart Poettering * Three new specifiers may be used in unit files: %u, %h, %s
c4f1b86299c4ce2a62ce845bc48f2794f5459762Lennart Poettering resolve to the user name, user home directory resp. user
c4f1b86299c4ce2a62ce845bc48f2794f5459762Lennart Poettering shell. This is useful for running systemd user instances.
c4f1b86299c4ce2a62ce845bc48f2794f5459762Lennart Poettering * We now automatically rotate journal files if their data
c4f1b86299c4ce2a62ce845bc48f2794f5459762Lennart Poettering object hash table gets a fill level > 75%. We also size the
c4f1b86299c4ce2a62ce845bc48f2794f5459762Lennart Poettering hash table based on the configured maximum file size. This
c4f1b86299c4ce2a62ce845bc48f2794f5459762Lennart Poettering together should lower hash collisions drastically and thus
c4f1b86299c4ce2a62ce845bc48f2794f5459762Lennart Poettering speed things up a bit.
c4f1b86299c4ce2a62ce845bc48f2794f5459762Lennart Poettering * journalctl gained the new "--header" switch to introspect
c4f1b86299c4ce2a62ce845bc48f2794f5459762Lennart Poettering header data of journal files.
c4f1b86299c4ce2a62ce845bc48f2794f5459762Lennart Poettering * A new setting SystemCallFilters= has been added to services
c4f1b86299c4ce2a62ce845bc48f2794f5459762Lennart Poettering which may be used to apply blacklists or whitelists to
c4f1b86299c4ce2a62ce845bc48f2794f5459762Lennart Poettering system calls. This is based on SECCOMP Mode 2 of Linux 3.5.
c4f1b86299c4ce2a62ce845bc48f2794f5459762Lennart Poettering * nspawn gained a new --link-journal= switch (and quicker: -j)
c4f1b86299c4ce2a62ce845bc48f2794f5459762Lennart Poettering to link the container journal with the host. This makes it
c4f1b86299c4ce2a62ce845bc48f2794f5459762Lennart Poettering very easy to centralize log viewing on the host for all
c4f1b86299c4ce2a62ce845bc48f2794f5459762Lennart Poettering guests while still keeping the journal files separated.
c4f1b86299c4ce2a62ce845bc48f2794f5459762Lennart Poettering * Many bugfixes and optimizations

b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart PoetteringCHANGES WITH 186:
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering * Several tools now understand kernel command line arguments,
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering which are only read when run in an initial RAM disk. They
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering usually follow closely their normal counterparts, but are
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering prefixed with rd.
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering * There's a new tool to analyze the readahead files that are
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering automatically generated at boot. Use:
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-readahead analyze /.readahead
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering * We now provide an early debug shell on tty9 if this enabled. Use:
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering * All plymouth related units have been moved into the Plymouth
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering package. Please make sure to upgrade your Plymouth version
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering * systemd-tmpfiles now supports getting passed the basename of
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering a configuration file only, in which case it will look for it
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering in all appropriate directories automatically.
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering * udevadm info now takes a /dev or /sys path as argument, and
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering does the right thing. Example:
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering * systemctl now prints a warning if a unit is stopped but a
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering unit that might trigger it continues to run. Example: a
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering service is stopped but the socket that activates it is left
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering * "systemctl status" will now mention if the log output was
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering shortened due to rotation since a service has been started.
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering * The journal API now exposes functions to determine the
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering "cutoff" times due to rotation.
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering * journald now understands SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2 for triggering
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering immediately flushing of runtime logs to /var if possible,
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering resp. for triggering immediate rotation of the journal
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering * It is now considered an error if a service is attempted to
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering be stopped that is not loaded.
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering * XDG_RUNTIME_DIR now uses numeric UIDs instead of usernames.
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering * systemd-analyze now supports Python 3
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering * tmpfiles now supports cleaning up directories via aging
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering where the first level dirs are always kept around but
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering directories beneath it automatically aged. This is enabled
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering by prefixing the age field with '~'.
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering * Seat objects now expose CanGraphical, CanTTY properties
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering which is required to deal with very fast bootups where the
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering display manager might be running before the graphics drivers
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering completed initialization.
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering * Seat objects now expose a State property.
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering * We now include RPM macros for service enabling/disabling
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering based on the preset logic. We recommend RPM based
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering distributions to make use of these macros if possible. This
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering makes it simpler to reuse RPM spec files across
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering distributions.
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering * We now make sure that the collected systemd unit name is
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering always valid when services log to the journal via
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering * There's a new man page kernel-command-line(7) detailing all
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering command line options we understand.
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering * The fstab generator may now be disabled at boot by passing
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering fstab=0 on the kernel command line.
91ac74250149a29122b2291c5393dec4592430d4Kay Sievers * A new kernel command line option modules-load= is now understood
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering to load a specific kernel module statically, early at boot.
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering * Unit names specified on the systemctl command line are now
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering automatically escaped as needed. Also, if file system or
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering device paths are specified they are automatically turned
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering into the appropriate mount or device unit names. Example:
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering systemctl status /home
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering systemctl status /dev/sda
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering * The SysVConsole= configuration option has been removed from
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering * The SysV search path is no longer exported on the D-Bus
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering Manager object.
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering * The Names= option is been removed from unit file parsing.
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering * There's a new man page bootup(7) detailing the boot process.
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering * Every unit and every generator we ship with systemd now
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering comes with full documentation. The self-explanatory boot is
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering * A couple of services gained "systemd-" prefixes in their
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering name if they wrap systemd code, rather than only external
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering code. Among them fsck@.service which is now
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering systemd-fsck@.service.
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering * The HaveWatchdog property has been removed from the D-Bus
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering Manager object.
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering * systemd.confirm_spawn= on the kernel command line should now
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering work sensibly.
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering * There's a new man page crypttab(5) which details all options
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering we actually understand.
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering * systemd-nspawn gained a new --capability= switch to pass
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering additional capabilities to the container.
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering * timedated will now read known NTP implementation unit names
5b00c0168be6e7b11db7b26fc1712cd6cda3c2e3Lennart Poettering from /usr/lib/systemd/ntp-units.d/*.list,
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering systemd-timedated-ntp.target has been removed.
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering * journalctl gained a new switch "-b" that lists log data of
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering the current boot only.
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering * The notify socket is in the abstract namespace again, in
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering order to support daemons which chroot() at start-up.
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering * There is a new Storage= configuration option for journald
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering which allows configuration of where log data should go. This
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering also provides a way to disable journal logging entirely, so
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering that data collected is only forwarded to the console, the
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering kernel log buffer or another syslog implementation.
c4f1b86299c4ce2a62ce845bc48f2794f5459762Lennart Poettering * Many bugfixes and optimizations

2d1972857b7bd19b4a74a8f80865749a8082f32aKay Sievers * "systemctl help <unit>" now shows the man page if one is
2d1972857b7bd19b4a74a8f80865749a8082f32aKay Sievers * Several new man pages have been added.
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering * MaxLevelStore=, MaxLevelSyslog=, MaxLevelKMsg=,
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering MaxLevelConsole= can now be specified in
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering journald.conf. These options allow reducing the amount of
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering data stored on disk or forwarded by the log level.
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering * TimerSlackNSec= can now be specified in system.conf for
b5b4c94a67d90891a0225af0e08cf45dbc329377Lennart Poettering PID1. This allows system-wide power savings.

4c8cd173305697f59adcebf980ad7babe751d38cLennart Poettering * logind is now capable of (optionally) handling power and
4c8cd173305697f59adcebf980ad7babe751d38cLennart Poettering sleep keys as well as the lid switch.
4c8cd173305697f59adcebf980ad7babe751d38cLennart Poettering * journalctl now understands the syntax "journalctl
4c8cd173305697f59adcebf980ad7babe751d38cLennart Poettering /usr/bin/avahi-daemon" to get all log output of a specific
4c8cd173305697f59adcebf980ad7babe751d38cLennart Poettering * CapabilityBoundingSet= in system.conf now also influences
4c8cd173305697f59adcebf980ad7babe751d38cLennart Poettering the capability bound set of usermode helpers of the kernel.

ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart PoetteringCHANGES WITH 183:
187076d47907f7b3fcd61b2ef5eef9820915946aLennart Poettering * Note that we skipped 139 releases here in order to set the
187076d47907f7b3fcd61b2ef5eef9820915946aLennart Poettering new version to something that is greater than both udev's
187076d47907f7b3fcd61b2ef5eef9820915946aLennart Poettering and systemd's most recent version number.
194bbe33382f5365be3865ed1779147cb680f1d3Kay Sievers * udev: all udev sources are merged into the systemd source tree now.
194bbe33382f5365be3865ed1779147cb680f1d3Kay Sievers All future udev development will happen in the systemd tree. It
194bbe33382f5365be3865ed1779147cb680f1d3Kay Sievers is still fully supported to use the udev daemon and tools without
194bbe33382f5365be3865ed1779147cb680f1d3Kay Sievers systemd running, like in initramfs or other init systems. Building
194bbe33382f5365be3865ed1779147cb680f1d3Kay Sievers udev though, will require the *build* of the systemd tree, but
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering udev can be properly *run* without systemd.
91cf7e5c37f97c6eb29966fac0afcbaa6662e05dTollef Fog Heen * udev: /lib/udev/devices/ are not read anymore; systemd-tmpfiles
f13b388f97bc3ba8db844bd3413d510e2466a0b6Kay Sievers should be used to create dead device nodes as workarounds for broken
2d13da8821b8197e62f819b5b996750800e910abKay Sievers * udev: RUN+="socket:..." and udev_monitor_new_from_socket() is
2d13da8821b8197e62f819b5b996750800e910abKay Sievers no longer supported. udev_monitor_new_from_netlink() needs to be
2d13da8821b8197e62f819b5b996750800e910abKay Sievers used to subscribe to events.
194bbe33382f5365be3865ed1779147cb680f1d3Kay Sievers * udev: when udevd is started by systemd, processes which are left
194bbe33382f5365be3865ed1779147cb680f1d3Kay Sievers behind by forking them off of udev rules, are unconditionally cleaned
194bbe33382f5365be3865ed1779147cb680f1d3Kay Sievers up and killed now after the event handling has finished. Services or
194bbe33382f5365be3865ed1779147cb680f1d3Kay Sievers daemons must be started as systemd services. Services can be
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering pulled-in by udev to get started, but they can no longer be directly
194bbe33382f5365be3865ed1779147cb680f1d3Kay Sievers forked by udev rules.
f13b388f97bc3ba8db844bd3413d510e2466a0b6Kay Sievers * udev: the daemon binary is called systemd-udevd now and installed
f13b388f97bc3ba8db844bd3413d510e2466a0b6Kay Sievers in /usr/lib/systemd/. Standalone builds or non-systemd systems need
f13b388f97bc3ba8db844bd3413d510e2466a0b6Kay Sievers to adapt to that, create symlink, or rename the binary after building
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering * libudev no longer provides these symbols:
c195956988799837b763ab1b9f078e5f0b7f26e6Kay Sievers udev_monitor_from_socket()
c195956988799837b763ab1b9f078e5f0b7f26e6Kay Sievers udev_queue_get_failed_list_entry()
c195956988799837b763ab1b9f078e5f0b7f26e6Kay Sievers udev_get_{dev,sys,run}_path()
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering The versions number was bumped and symbol versioning introduced.
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering * systemd-loginctl and systemd-journalctl have been renamed
9ae9afce6f53a872f4b01b9be13daa75833bd59eLennart Poettering to loginctl and journalctl to match systemctl.
18b754d345ecb0b15e369978aaffa72e9814b86aKay Sievers * The config files: /etc/systemd/systemd-logind.conf and
18b754d345ecb0b15e369978aaffa72e9814b86aKay Sievers /etc/systemd/systemd-journald.conf have been renamed to
18b754d345ecb0b15e369978aaffa72e9814b86aKay Sievers logind.conf and journald.conf. Package updates should rename
18b754d345ecb0b15e369978aaffa72e9814b86aKay Sievers the files to the new names on upgrade.
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering * For almost all files the license is now LGPL2.1+, changed
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering from the previous GPL2.0+. Exceptions are some minor stuff
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering of udev (which will be changed to LGPL2.1 eventually, too),
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering and the MIT licensed sd-daemon.[ch] library that is suitable
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering to be used as drop-in files.
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering * systemd and logind now handle system sleep states, in
49f43d5f91a99b23f745726aa351d8f159774357Ville Skyttä particular suspending and hibernating.
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering * logind now implements a sleep/shutdown/idle inhibiting logic
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering suitable for a variety of uses. Soonishly Lennart will blog
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering about this in more detail.
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering * var-run.mount and var-lock.mount are no longer provided
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering (which prevously bind mounted these directories to their new
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering places). Distributions which have not converted these
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering directories to symlinks should consider stealing these files
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering from git history and add them downstream.
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering * We introduced the Documentation= field for units and added
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering this to all our shipped units. This is useful to make it
3943231cfeb3d76dc4ec0b9f845c3f874593a9deLennart Poettering easier to explore the boot and the purpose of the various
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering * All smaller setup units (such as
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering systemd-vconsole-setup.service) now detect properly if they
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering are run in a container and are skipped when
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering appropriate. This guarantees an entirely noise-free boot in
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering Linux container environments such as systemd-nspawn.
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering * A framework for implementing offline system updates is now
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering integrated, for details see:
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/SystemUpdates
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering * A new service type Type=idle is available now which helps us
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering avoiding ugly interleaving of getty output and boot status
439d6dfd12f58d7230bcae06d73b841eb3bc588aLennart Poettering * There's now a system-wide CapabilityBoundingSet= option to
439d6dfd12f58d7230bcae06d73b841eb3bc588aLennart Poettering globally reduce the set of capabilities for the
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering system. This is useful to drop CAP_SYS_MKNOD, CAP_SYS_RAWIO,
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering CAP_NET_RAW, CAP_SYS_MODULE, CAP_SYS_TIME, CAP_SYS_PTRACE or
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering even CAP_NET_ADMIN system-wide for secure systems.
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering * There are now system-wide DefaultLimitXXX= options to
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering globally change the defaults of the various resource limits
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering for all units started by PID 1.
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering * Harald Hoyer's systemd test suite has been integrated into
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering systemd which allows easy testing of systemd builds in qemu
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering and nspawn. (This is really awesome! Ask us for details!)
3943231cfeb3d76dc4ec0b9f845c3f874593a9deLennart Poettering * The fstab parser is now implemented as generator, not inside
3943231cfeb3d76dc4ec0b9f845c3f874593a9deLennart Poettering of PID 1 anymore.
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering * systemctl will now warn you if .mount units generated from
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering /etc/fstab are out of date due to changes in fstab that
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering haven't been read by systemd yet.
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering * systemd is now suitable for usage in initrds. Dracut has
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering already been updated to make use of this. With this in place
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering initrds get a slight bit faster but primarily are much
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering easier to introspect and debug since "systemctl status" in
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering the host system can be used to introspect initrd services,
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering and the journal from the initrd is kept around too.
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering * systemd-delta has been added, a tool to explore differences
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering between user/admin configuration and vendor defaults.
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering * PrivateTmp= now affects both /tmp and /var/tmp.
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering * Boot time status messages are now much prettier and feature
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering proper english language. Booting up systemd has never been
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering * Read-ahead pack files now include the inode number of all
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering files to pre-cache. When the inode changes the pre-caching
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering is not attempted. This should be nicer to deal with updated
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering packages which might result in changes of read-ahead
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering * We now temporaritly lower the kernel's read_ahead_kb variable
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering when collecting read-ahead data to ensure the kernel's
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering built-in read-ahead does not add noise to our measurements
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering of necessary blocks to pre-cache.
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering * There's now RequiresMountsFor= to add automatic dependencies
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering for all mounts necessary for a specific file system path.
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering * MountAuto= and SwapAuto= have been removed from
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering system.conf. Mounting file systems at boot has to take place
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering in systemd now.
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering * nspawn now learned a new switch --uuid= to set the machine
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering ID on the command line.
f8c0a2cb695e3b8140b51cb40637a09ba6eff48eLennart Poettering * nspawn now learned the -b switch to automatically search
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering for an init system.
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering * vt102 is now the default TERM for serial TTYs, upgraded from
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering * systemd-logind now works on VT-less systems.
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering * The build tree has been reorganized. The individual
3943231cfeb3d76dc4ec0b9f845c3f874593a9deLennart Poettering components now have directories of their own.
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering * A new condition type ConditionPathIsReadWrite= is now available.
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering * nspawn learned the new -C switch to create cgroups for the
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering container in other hierarchies.
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering * We now have support for hardware watchdogs, configurable in
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering * The scheduled shutdown logic now has a public API.
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering * We now mount /tmp as tmpfs by default, but this can be
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering masked and /etc/fstab can override it.
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering * Since udisks doesn't make use of /media anymore we are not
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering mounting a tmpfs on it anymore.
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering * journalctl gained a new --local switch to only interleave
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering locally generated journal files.
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering * We can now load the IMA policy at boot automatically.
ea5943d3862cc690daa76e2ad336737407ec711cLennart Poettering * The GTK tools have been split off into a systemd-ui.

16f1239e1ece27257c0deedcf01aa39474f66241Lennart Poettering * This is mostly a bugfix release
16f1239e1ece27257c0deedcf01aa39474f66241Lennart Poettering * Support optional initialization of the machine ID from the
16f1239e1ece27257c0deedcf01aa39474f66241Lennart Poettering KVM or container configured UUID.
16f1239e1ece27257c0deedcf01aa39474f66241Lennart Poettering * Support immediate reboots with "systemctl reboot -ff"
16f1239e1ece27257c0deedcf01aa39474f66241Lennart Poettering * Show /etc/os-release data in systemd-analyze output
16f1239e1ece27257c0deedcf01aa39474f66241Lennart Poettering * Many bugfixes for the journal, including endianess fixes and
16f1239e1ece27257c0deedcf01aa39474f66241Lennart Poettering ensuring that disk space enforcement works
16f1239e1ece27257c0deedcf01aa39474f66241Lennart Poettering * sd-login.h is C++ comptaible again
16f1239e1ece27257c0deedcf01aa39474f66241Lennart Poettering * Extend the /etc/os-release format on request of the Debian
16f1239e1ece27257c0deedcf01aa39474f66241Lennart Poettering * We now refuse non-UTF8 strings used in various configuration
16f1239e1ece27257c0deedcf01aa39474f66241Lennart Poettering and unit files. This is done to ensure we don't pass invalid
16f1239e1ece27257c0deedcf01aa39474f66241Lennart Poettering data over D-Bus or expose it elsewhere.
16f1239e1ece27257c0deedcf01aa39474f66241Lennart Poettering * Register Mimo USB Screens as suitable for automatic seat
16f1239e1ece27257c0deedcf01aa39474f66241Lennart Poettering * Read SELinux client context from journal clients in a race
16f1239e1ece27257c0deedcf01aa39474f66241Lennart Poettering * Reorder configuration file lookup order. /etc now always
16f1239e1ece27257c0deedcf01aa39474f66241Lennart Poettering overrides /run in order to allow the administrator to always
16f1239e1ece27257c0deedcf01aa39474f66241Lennart Poettering and unconditionally override vendor supplied or
16f1239e1ece27257c0deedcf01aa39474f66241Lennart Poettering automatically generated data.
16f1239e1ece27257c0deedcf01aa39474f66241Lennart Poettering * The various user visible bits of the journal now have man
16f1239e1ece27257c0deedcf01aa39474f66241Lennart Poettering pages. We still lack man pages for the journal API calls
16f1239e1ece27257c0deedcf01aa39474f66241Lennart Poettering * We now ship all man pages in HTML format again in the

204fa33c82588c47ebeef3f8c4c0b7da750e37f7Lennart Poettering * This is an important bugfix release for v41.
204fa33c82588c47ebeef3f8c4c0b7da750e37f7Lennart Poettering * Building man pages is now optional which should be useful
204fa33c82588c47ebeef3f8c4c0b7da750e37f7Lennart Poettering for those building systemd from git but unwilling to install
204fa33c82588c47ebeef3f8c4c0b7da750e37f7Lennart Poettering * Watchdog support for supervising services is now usable. In
204fa33c82588c47ebeef3f8c4c0b7da750e37f7Lennart Poettering a future release support for hardware watchdogs
204fa33c82588c47ebeef3f8c4c0b7da750e37f7Lennart Poettering (i.e. /dev/watchdog) will be added building on this.
204fa33c82588c47ebeef3f8c4c0b7da750e37f7Lennart Poettering * Service start rate limiting is now configurable and can be
204fa33c82588c47ebeef3f8c4c0b7da750e37f7Lennart Poettering turned off per service. When a start rate limit is hit a
204fa33c82588c47ebeef3f8c4c0b7da750e37f7Lennart Poettering reboot can automatically be triggered.
204fa33c82588c47ebeef3f8c4c0b7da750e37f7Lennart Poettering * New CanReboot(), CanPowerOff() bus calls in systemd-logind.

e0d25329b23a43332ea340f9907721873a316f4eKay Sievers * The systemd binary is installed /usr/lib/systemd/systemd now;
e0d25329b23a43332ea340f9907721873a316f4eKay Sievers An existing /sbin/init symlink needs to be adapted with the
e0d25329b23a43332ea340f9907721873a316f4eKay Sievers package update.
b13df9644bc6d4823b5a84e8a6bbf3bbb2c207c2Lennart Poettering * The code that loads kernel modules has been ported to invoke
b13df9644bc6d4823b5a84e8a6bbf3bbb2c207c2Lennart Poettering libkmod directly, instead of modprobe. This means we do not
b13df9644bc6d4823b5a84e8a6bbf3bbb2c207c2Lennart Poettering support systems with module-init-tools anymore.
b13df9644bc6d4823b5a84e8a6bbf3bbb2c207c2Lennart Poettering * Watchdog support is now already useful, but still not
b13df9644bc6d4823b5a84e8a6bbf3bbb2c207c2Lennart Poettering * A new kernel command line option systemd.setenv= is
b13df9644bc6d4823b5a84e8a6bbf3bbb2c207c2Lennart Poettering understood to set system wide environment variables
b13df9644bc6d4823b5a84e8a6bbf3bbb2c207c2Lennart Poettering dynamically at boot.
ccd07a083e8040a5bb091c5036ab1b4493ff8363Lennart Poettering * We now limit the set of capabilities of systemd-journald.
353e12c2f4a9e96a47eb80b80d2ffb7bc1d44a1bLennart Poettering * We now set SIGPIPE to ignore by default, since it only is
353e12c2f4a9e96a47eb80b80d2ffb7bc1d44a1bLennart Poettering useful in shell pipelines, and has little use in general
353e12c2f4a9e96a47eb80b80d2ffb7bc1d44a1bLennart Poettering code. This can be disabled with IgnoreSIPIPE=no in unit

d26e4270409506cd398875216413b651d6ee7de6Lennart Poettering * This is mostly a bugfix release
d26e4270409506cd398875216413b651d6ee7de6Lennart Poettering * We now expose the reason why a service failed in the
d26e4270409506cd398875216413b651d6ee7de6Lennart Poettering "Result" D-Bus property.
d26e4270409506cd398875216413b651d6ee7de6Lennart Poettering * Rudimentary service watchdog support (will be completed over
d26e4270409506cd398875216413b651d6ee7de6Lennart Poettering the next few releases.)
d26e4270409506cd398875216413b651d6ee7de6Lennart Poettering * When systemd forks off in order execute some service we will
d26e4270409506cd398875216413b651d6ee7de6Lennart Poettering now immediately changes its argv[0] to reflect which process
d26e4270409506cd398875216413b651d6ee7de6Lennart Poettering it will execute. This is useful to minimize the time window
d26e4270409506cd398875216413b651d6ee7de6Lennart Poettering with a generic argv[0], which makes bootcharts more useful

220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart PoetteringCHANGES WITH 39:
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering * This is mostly a test release, but incorporates many

220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering journals by the respective users.
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering * If a group "adm" exists, journal files are automatically
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering owned by them, thus allow members of this group full access
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering to the system journal as well as all user journals.
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering * The journal now stores the SELinux context of the logging
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering client for all entries.
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering * Add C++ inclusion guards to all public headers
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering * New output mode "cat" in the journal to print only text
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering messages, without any meta data like date or time.
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering * Include tiny X server wrapper as a temporary stop-gap to
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering teach XOrg udev display enumeration. This is used by display
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering managers such as gdm, and will go away as soon as XOrg
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering learned native udev hotplugging for display devices.
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering * Add new systemd-cat tool for executing arbitrary programs
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering with STDERR/STDOUT connected to the journal. Can also act as
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering BSD logger replacement, and does so by default.
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering * Optionally store all locally generated coredumps in the
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering journal along with meta data.
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering * systemd-tmpfiles learnt four new commands: n, L, c, b, for
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering writing short strings to files (for usage for /sys), and for
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering creating symlinks, character and block device nodes.
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering * New unit file option ControlGroupPersistent= to make cgroups
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering persistent, following the mechanisms outlined in
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PaxControlGroups
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering * Support multiple local RTCs in a sane way
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering * No longer monopolize IO when replaying readahead data on
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering rotating disks, since we might starve non-file-system IO to
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering death, since fanotify() will not see accesses done by blkid,
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering * Don't show kernel threads in systemd-cgls anymore, unless
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering requested with new -k switch.

220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart PoetteringCHANGES WITH 38:
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering * This is mostly a test release, but incorporates many
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering * The git repository moved to:
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering git://anongit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering ssh://git.freedesktop.org/git/systemd/systemd
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering * First release with the journal
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/the-journal.html
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering * The journal replaces both systemd-kmsg-syslogd and
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering systemd-stdout-bridge.
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering * New sd_pid_get_unit() API call in libsystemd-logind
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering * Many systemadm clean-ups
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering * Introduce remote-fs-pre.target which is ordered before all
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering remote mounts and may be used to start services before all
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering remote mounts.
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering * Added Mageia support
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering * Add bash completion for systemd-loginctl
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering * Actively monitor PID file creation for daemons which exit in
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering the parent process before having finished writing the PID
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering file in the daemon process. Daemons which do this need to be
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering fixed (i.e. PID file creation must have finished before the
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering parent exits), but we now react a bit more gracefully to them.
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering * Add colourful boot output, mimicking the well-known output
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering of existing distributions.
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering * New option PassCredentials= for socket units, for
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering compatibility with a recent kernel ABI breakage.
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering * /etc/rc.local is now hooked in via a generator binary, and
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering thus will no longer act as synchronization point during
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering * systemctl list-unit-files now supports --root=.
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering * systemd-tmpfiles now understands two new commands: z, Z for
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering relabelling files according to the SELinux database. This is
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering useful to apply SELinux labels to specific files in /sys,
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering among other things.
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering * Output of SysV services is now forwarded to both the console
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering and the journal by default, not only just the console.
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering * New man pages for all APIs from libsystemd-login.
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering * The build tree got reorganized and a the build system is a
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering lot more modular allowing embedded setups to specifically
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering select the components of systemd they are interested in.
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering * Support for Linux systems lacking the kernel VT subsystem is
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering * configure's --with-rootdir= got renamed to
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering --with-rootprefix= to follow the naming used by udev and
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering * Unless specified otherwise we'll now install to /usr instead
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering * Processes with '@' in argv[0][0] are now excluded from the
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering final shut-down killing spree, following the logic explained
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/RootStorageDaemons
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering * All processes remaining in a service cgroup when we enter
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering the START or START_PRE states are now killed with
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering SIGKILL. That means it is no longer possible to spawn
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering background processes from ExecStart= lines (which was never
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering supported anyway, and bad style).
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering * New PropagateReloadTo=/PropagateReloadFrom= options to bind
220a21d38f675eb835f5758e3d23e896573aa5eaLennart Poettering reloading of units together.
