This should make the ps + tree a lot more organized. + + * A new PartOf= unit dependency type has been introduced that + may be used to group services in a natural way. + + * "systemctl enable" may now be used to enable instances of + services. + + * journalctl now prints error log levels in red, and + warning/notice log levels in bright white. It also supports + filtering by log level now. + + * cgtop gained a new -n switch (similar to top), to configure + the maximum number of iterations to run for. It also gained + -b, to run in batch mode (accepting no input). + + * The suffix ".service" may now be ommited on most systemctl + command lines involving service unit names. + + * There's a new bus call in logind to lock all sessions, as + well as a loginctl verb for it "lock-sessions". + + * libsystemd-logind.so gained a new call sd_journal_perror() + that works similar to libc perror() but logs to the journal + and encodes structured information about the error number. + + * /etc/crypttab entries now understand the new keyfile-size= + option. + + * shutdown(8) now can send a (configurable) wall message when + a shutdown is cancelled. + + * The mount propagation mode for the root file system will now + default to "shared", which is useful to make containers work + nicely out-of-the-box so that they receive new mounts from + the host. This can be undone locally by running "mount + --make-rprivate /" if needed. + + * The prefdm.service file has been removed. Distributions + should maintain this unit downstream if they intend to keep + it around. However, we recommend writing normal unit files + for display managers instead. + + * Since systemd is a crucial part of the OS we will now + default to a number of compiler switches that improve + security (hardening) such as read-only relocations, stack + protection, and suchlike. + + * The TimeoutSec= setting for services is now split into + TimeoutStartSec= and TimeoutStopSec= to allow configuration + of individual time outs for the start and the stop phase of + the service. + + Contributions from: Artur Zaprzala, Arvydas Sidorenko, Auke + Kok, Bryan Kadzban, Dave Reisner, David Strauss, Harald Hoyer, + Jim Meyering, Kay Sievers, Lennart Poettering, Mantas + Mikulėnas, Martin Pitt, Michal Schmidt, Michal Sekletar, Peter + Alfredsen, Shawn Landden, Simon Peeters, Terence Honles, Tom + Gundersen, Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek + CHANGES WITH 187: * The journal and id128 C APIs are now fully documented as man @@ -9,7 +73,7 @@ CHANGES WITH 187: the initial RAM disk to the main system to avoid accidental data loss. - * /etc/crypttab entrie now understand the new keyfile-offset= + * /etc/crypttab entries now understand the new keyfile-offset= option. * systemctl -t can now be used to filter by unit load state. |
