@@ -1,5 +1,65 @@ 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. + + Contributions from: Anatol Pomozov, Auke Kok, Harald Hoyer, + Henrik Grindal Bakken, Josh Triplett, Kay Sievers, Lennart + Poettering, Lukas Nykryn, Mantas Mikulėnas Marius Vollmer, + Martin Jansa, Martin Pitt, Michael Biebl, Michal Schmidt, + Mirco Tischler, Pali Rohar, Simon Peeters, Steven Hiscocks, + Tom Gundersen, Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek + CHANGES WITH 201: * journalctl --update-catalog now understands a new --root= |
