* systemd-resolve conveniently resolves DANE records with the --tlsa
option and OPENPGPKEY records with the --openpgp option.
- * Testing tool /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-activate is renamed to
- systemd-socket-activate and installed into /usr/bin. It is now fully
- supported.
+ * systemd-logind will now by default terminate user processes that are
+ part of the user session scope unit (session-XX.scope) when the user
+ logs out. This behaviour is controlled by the
+ KillUserProcesses=yes|no setting in logind.conf, and previous default
+ of "no" is now changed to "yes". This means that user sessions will
+ be properly cleaned up after, but additional steps are necessary to
+ allow intentionally long-running processes to survive logout.
+
+ While the user is logged in at least once, user@.service is running,
+ and any service that should survive the end of any individual login
+ session can be started at a user service or scope using systemd-run.
+ systemd-run(1) man page has been extended with an example which
+ shows how to run screen in a scope unit underneath user@.service.
+ The same command works for tmux.
+
+ After the user logs out of all sessions, user@.service will be
+ terminated too, by default, unless the user has "lingering" enabled.
+ To effectively allow users to run long-term tasks even if they are
+ logged out, lingering must be enabled for them. See loginctl(1)
+ for details.
* The unified cgroup hierarchy added in Linux 4.5 is now supported.
Use systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=1 on the kernel command line
