If set, the IFF_VNET_HDR flag is set for the + device, thus allowing to send and receive GSO packets. + + - A new tunnel configuration option called 'CopyDSCP='. + If enabled, the DSCP field of ip6 tunnels is copied into the + decapsulated packet. + + - A set of boolean bridge configuration options were added. + 'UseBPDU=', 'HairPin=', 'FastLeave=', 'AllowPortToBeRoot=', + and 'UnicastFlood=' are now parsed by networkd and applied to the + respective bridge link device via the respective IFLA_BRPORT_* + netlink attribute. + + - A new string configuration option to override the hostname sent + to a DHCP server, called 'Hostname='. If set and 'SendHostname=' + is true, networkd will use the configured hostname instead of the + system hostname when sending DHCP requests. + + - A new tunnel configuration option called 'IPv6FlowLabel='. If set, + networkd will configure the IPv6 flow-label of the tunnel device + according to RFC2460. + + * systemd-resolved now implements RFC5452 to improve resilience against + cache poisoning. Additionally, source port randomization is enabled + by default to further protect against DNS spoofing attacks. + + * nss-mymachines now supports translating UIDs and GIDs of running + containers with user-namespaces enabled. If a container 'foo' + translates a host uid 'UID' to the container uid 'TUID', then + nss-mymachines will also map uid 'UID' to/from username 'vu-foo-TUID' + (with 'foo' and 'TUID' replaced accordingly). Similarly, groups are + mapped as 'vg-foo-TGID'. + + Contributions from: Beniamino Galvani, cee1, Christian Hesse, Daniel + Buch, Daniel Mack, daurnimator, David Herrmann, Dimitri John Ledkov, Jan + Alexander Steffens (heftig), Johan Ouwerkerk, Jose Carlos Venegas Munoz, + Kay Sievers, Lennart Poettering, Lidong Zhong, Martin Pitt, Michael + Biebl, Michael Olbrich, Michal Schmidt, Mike Gilbert, Namhyung Kim, Nick + Owens, Peter Hutterer, Richard Maw, Steven Allen, Sungbae Yoo, Susant + Sahani, Thomas Blume, Thomas Hindoe Paaboel Andersen, Tom Gundersen, + Umut Tezduyar Lindskog, Vito Caputo, Vivenzio Pagliari, Zbigniew + Jędrzejewski-Szmek + + -- Berlin, 2015-XX-XX + +CHANGES WITH 222: + + * udev does not longer support the WAIT_FOR_SYSFS= key in udev rules. + There are no known issues with current sysfs, and udev does not need + or should be used to work around such bugs. + + * udev does no longer enable USB HID power management. Several reports + indicate, that some devices cannot handle that setting. + + * The udev accelerometer helper was removed. The functionality + is now fully included in iio-sensor-proxy. But this means, + older iio-sensor-proxy versions will no longer provide + accelerometer/orientation data with this systemd version. + Please upgrade iio-sensor-proxy to version 1.0. + + * networkd gained a new configuration option IPv6PrivacyExtensions= + which enables IPv6 privacy extensions (RFC 4941, "Privacy Extensions + for Stateless Address") on selected networks. + + * For the sake of fewer build-time dependencies and less code in the + main repository, the python bindings are about to be removed in the + next release. A new repository has been created which accommodates + the code from now on, and we kindly ask distributions to create a + separate package for this. The removal will take place in v223. + + https://github.com/systemd/python-systemd + + Contributions from: Abdo Roig-Maranges, Andrew Eikum, Bastien Nocera, + Cédric Delmas, Christian Hesse, Christos Trochalakis, Daniel Mack, + daurnimator, David Herrmann, Dimitri John Ledkov, Eric Biggers, Eric + Cook, Felipe Sateler, Geert Jansen, Gerd Hoffmann, Gianpaolo Macario, + Greg Kroah-Hartman, Iago López Galeiras, Jan Alexander Steffens + (heftig), Jan Engelhardt, Jay Strict, Kay Sievers, Lennart Poettering, + Markus Knetschke, Martin Pitt, Michael Biebl, Michael Marineau, Michal + Sekletar, Miguel Bernal Marin, Peter Hutterer, Richard Maw, rinrinne, + Susant Sahani, Thomas Hindoe Paaboel Andersen, Tom Gundersen, Torstein + Husebø, Vedran Miletić, WaLyong Cho, Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek + + -- Berlin, 2015-07-07 + CHANGES WITH 221: * The sd-bus.h and sd-event.h APIs have now been declared |
