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