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