systemd System and Service Manager
+CHANGES WITH 202:
+
+ * The output of 'systemctl list-jobs' got some polishing. The
+ '--type=' argument may now be passed more than once. A new
+ command 'systemctl list-sockets' has been added which shows
+ a list of kernel sockets systemd is listening on with the
+ socket units they belong to, plus the units these socket
+ units activate.
+
+ * The experimental libsystemd-bus library got substantial
+ updates to work in conjunction with the (also experimental)
+ kdbus kernel project. It works well enough to exchange
+ messages with some sophistication. Note that kdbus is not
+ ready yet, and the library is mostly an elaborate test case
+ for now, and not installable.
+
+ * systemd gained a new unit 'systemd-static-nodes.service'
+ that generates static device nodes earlier during boot, and
+ can run in conjunction with udev.
+
+ * libsystemd-login gained a new call sd_pid_get_user_unit()
+ to retrieve the user systemd unit a process is running
+ in. This is useful for systems where systemd is used as
+ session manager.
+
+ * systemd-nspawn now places all containers in the new /machine
+ top-level cgroup directory in the name=systemd
+ hierarchy. libvirt will soon do the same, so that we get a
+ uniform separation of /system, /user and /machine for system
+ services, user processes and containers/virtual
+ machines. This new cgroup hierarchy is also useful to stick
+ stable names to specific container instances, which can be
+ recognized later on this way (this name may be controlled
+ via systemd-nspawn's new -M switch). libsystemd-login also
+ gained a new call sd_pid_get_machine_name() to retrieve the
+ name of the container/VM a specific process belongs to.
+
+ * bootchart can now store its data in the journal.
+
+ * libsystemd-journal gained a new call
+ sd_journal_add_conjunction() for AND expressions to the
+ matching logic. This can be used to express more complex
+ logical expressions.
+
+ * journactl can now take multiple --unit= and --user-unit=
+ switches.
+
+ * The cryptsetup logic now understands the "luks.key=" kernel
+ command line switch for specifying a file to read the
+ decryption key from. Also, if a configured keyfile is now
+ found the tool will now automatically fall back to prompting
+ the user.
