systemd System and Service Manager
+CHANGES WITH 199:
+
+ * systemd-python gained an API exposing libsystemd-daemon.
+
+ * The SMACK setup logic gained support for uploading CIPSO
+ security policy.
+
+ * Behaviour of PrivateTmp=, ReadWriteDirectories=,
+ ReadOnlyDirectories= and InaccessibleDirectories= has
+ changed. The private /tmp and /var/tmp directories are now
+ shared by all processes of a service (which means
+ ExecStartPre= may now leave data in /tmp that ExecStart= of
+ the same service can still access). When a service is
+ stopped its temporary directories are immediately deleted
+ (normal clean-up with tmpfiles still is done in addition to
+ this though).
+
+ * By default, systemd will now set a couple of sysctl
+ variables in the kernel: the safe sysrq options are turned
+ on, IP route verification is turned on, and source routing
+ disabled. The recently added hardlink and softlink
+ protection of the kernel is turned on. These settings should
+ be reasonably safe, and good defaults for all new systems.
+
+ * The predictable network naming logic may now be turned off
+ with a new kernel command line switch: net.ifnames=0
+
+ * A new libsystemd-bus module has been added that implements a
+ pretty complete D-Bus client library. For details see:
+
+ http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2013-March/009797.html
+
+ * journald will not explicitly flush the journal files to disk
+ the latest 5min after each write. This will also mark the
+ files as offline then until the next read. This should
+ increase reliability. The synchronization delay can be
+ configured via SyncIntervalSec= in journald.conf.
+
+ * There's a new remote-fs-setup.target unit that can be used
+ to pull in specific services when at least one remote file
+ system is to be mounted.
+
+ * There are new targets timers.target and paths.target as
+ canonical targets to pull user timer and path units in
+ from. This complements sockets.target with a similar
+ purpose for socket units.
