assignments and "auto" for picking a free value
automatically.
+ * 'systemctl is-system-running' now returns 'offline' if the
+ system is not booted with systemd. This command can now be
+ used as a substitute for 'systemd-notify --booted'.
+
+ * Watchdog timeouts have been increased to 3 minutes for all
+ in-tree service files. Apparently, disk IO issues are more
+ frequent than we hoped, and user reported >1 minute waiting
+ for disk IO.
+
+ * 'machine-id-commit' functionality has been merged into
+ 'machine-id-setup --commit'. The separate binary has been
+ removed.
+
+ * The WorkingDirectory= directive in unit files may now be
+ set to the special value '~'. In this case, the working
+ directory is set to the home directory of the user configured
+ in User=.
+
+ * A new systemd.crash_reboot=1 kernel command line option has
+ been added that triggers a reboot after crashing. This can
+ also be set through CrashReboot=no in systemd.conf.
+
+ * The CrashChVT= configuration file setting is renamed to
+ CrashChangeVT=, following our usual logic of not abbreviating
+ unnecessarily. The old directive is still suppored for compat
+ reasons. Also, this directive now takes an interger value
+ between 1 and 63, or a boolean value. The formerly supported
+ '-1' value for disabling stays around for compat reasons.
+
* The PrivateTmp, PrivateDevices, PrivateNetwork,
NoNewPrivileges, TTYPath, WorkingDirectory and RootDirectory
properties can now be set for transient units.
