This needs - to be implemented for your distribution. See "SYSV INIT.D SCRIPTS" in - README for details. - - Contributions from: ... + * The sd-bus.h and sd-event.h APIs have now been declared + stable and have been added the official interface of + libsystemd.so. sd-bus implements an alternative D-Bus client + library, that is relatively easy to use, very efficient and + supports both classic D-Bus as well as kdbus as transport + backend. sd-event is a generic event loop abstraction that + is built around Linux epoll, but adds features such as event + priorization or efficient timer handling. Both APIs are good + choices for C programs looking for a bus and/or event loop + implementation that is minimal and does not have to be + portable to other kenels. + + * kdbus support is no longer compile-time optional. It is now + always built-in. However, it can still be disabled at + runtime using the kdbus=0 kernel command line setting, and + that setting my by changed to default to off, by specifying + --disable-kdbus at build-time. Note though that the kernel + command line setting has no effect if the kdbus.ko kernel + module is not installed, in which case kdbus is (obviously) + also disabled. We encourage all downstream distributions to + begin testing kdbus by adding it to the kernel images if the + development distributions, and leaving kdbus support in + systemd enabled. + + * The minimal required util-linux version has been bumped to + 2.26. + + * Support for chkconfig (--enable-chkconfig) was removed in + favour of calling an abstraction tool + /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install. This needs to be + implemented for your distribution. See "SYSV INIT.D SCRIPTS" + in README for details. + + * If there's a systemd unit and a SysV init script for the + same service name, and the user executes "systemctl enable" + for it (or a related call), then this will now enable both + (or execute the related operation on both), not just the + unit. + + * The libudev API documentation has been converted from gtkdoc + into man pages. + + * gudev has been removed from the systemd tree, it is now an + external project. + + * The systemd-cgtop tool learnt a new --raw switch to generate + "raw" (machine parseable) output. + + * networkd's IPForwarding= .network file setting learnt the + new setting "kernel", which ensures that networkd does not + change the IP forwarding sysctl from the default kernel + state. + + * The systemd-logind bus API now exposes a new boolean + property "Docked" that reports whether logind considers the + system "docked", i.e. connected to a docking station or not. + + Contributions from: Alex Crawford, Andreas Pokorny, Andrei + Borzenkov, Charles Duffy, Colin Guthrie, Cristian Rodríguez, + Daniele Medri, Daniel Hahler, Daniel Mack, David Herrmann, + David Mohr, Dimitri John Ledkov, Djalal Harouni, dslul, Ed + Swierk, Eric Cook, Filipe Brandenburger, Gianpaolo Macario, + Harald Hoyer, Iago López Galeiras, Igor Vuk, Jan Synacek, + Jason Pleau, Jason S.
