This is useful for running systemd user instances. + + * We now automatically rotate journal files if their data + object hash table gets a fill level > 75%. We also size the + hash table based on the configured maximum file size. This + together should lower hash collisions drastically and thus + speed things up a bit. + + * journalctl gained the new "--header" switch to introspect + header data of journal files. + + * A new setting SystemCallFilters= has been added to services + which may be used to apply blacklists or whitelists to + system calls. This is based on SECCOMP Mode 2 of Linux 3.5. + + * nspawn gained a new --link-journal= switch (and quicker: -j) + to link the container journal with the host. This makes it + very easy to centralize log viewing on the host for all + guests while still keeping the journal files separated. + + * Many bugfixes and optimizations + + Contributions from: Auke Kok, Eelco Dolstra, Harald Hoyer, Kay + Sievers, Lennart Poettering, Malte Starostik, Paul Menzel, Rex + Tsai, Shawn Landden, Tom Gundersen, Ville Skyttä, Zbigniew + Jędrzejewski-Szmek + CHANGES WITH 186: * Several tools now understand kernel command line arguments, @@ -139,7 +203,7 @@ CHANGES WITH 186: that data collected is only forwarded to the console, the kernel log buffer or another syslog implementation. - * Many bugfixes and optimizations. + * Many bugfixes and optimizations Contributions from: Auke Kok, Colin Guthrie, Dave Reisner, David Strauss, Eelco Dolstra, Kay Sievers, Lennart Poettering, |
