* Support for the "net_cls" cgroup controller has been added.

+
+ * The systemd-analyze tool gained a new "set-log-target" verb
+ to change the logging target the system manager logs to
+ dynamically during runtime. This is similar to how
+ "systemd-analyze set-log-level" already changes the log
+ level.
+
+ * In nspawn /sys is now mounted as tmpfs, with only a selected
+ set of subdirectories mounted in from the real sysfs. This
+ enhances security slightly, and is useful for ensuring user
+ namespaces work correctly.
+
+ * Support for USB FunctionFS activation has been added. This
+ allows implementation of USB gadget services that are
+ activated as soon as they are requested, so that they don't
+ have to run continously, similar to classic socket
+ activation.
+
+ * The "systemctl exit" command now optionally takes an
+ additional parameter that sets the exit code to return from
+ the systemd manager when exiting. This is only relevant when
+ running the systemd user instance, or when running the
+ system instance in a container.
+
+ * sd-bus gained the new API calls sd_bus_path_encode_many()
+ and sd_bus_path_decode_many() that allow easy encoding and
+ decoding of multiple identifier strings inside a D-Bus
+ object path. Another new call sd_bus_default_flush_close()
+ has been added to flush and close per-thread default
+ connections.
+
+ * systemd-cgtop gained support for a -M/--machine= switch to
+ show the control groups within a certain container only.
+
+ * "systemctl kill" gained support for an optional --fail
+ switch. If specified the requested operation will fail of no
+ processes have been killed, because the unit had no
+ processes attached, or similar.
+
+ * A new (still internal) libary API sd-ipv4acd has been added,
+ that implements address conflict detection for IPv4. It's
+ based on code from sd-ipv4ll, and will be useful for
+ detecting DHCP address conflicts.
+
+ * The RuntimeDirectory= setting now understands unit
+ specifiers like %i or %f.
+
+ * networkd gained support for setting the IPv6 Router
+ Advertisment settings via IPv6AcceptRouterAdvertisements= in
+ .network files.
+
+ * udev will now create /dev/disk/by-path links for ATA devices
+ on kernels where that is supported.
+
+ * When downloading tar or raw images using "machinectl
+ pull-tar" or "machinectl pull-raw", a matching ".nspawn"
+ file is now also downloaded, if it is available and stored
+ next to the image file.
* Galician, Turkish and Korean translations were added.
