If you want kernel messages in the journal + make sure to run a recent kernel (>= 3.5) that supports + reading structured messages from /dev/kmsg (see + above). /proc/kmsg is now exclusive property of classic + syslog daemons again. + + * The libudev API gained the new + udev_device_new_from_device_id() call. + + * The logic for file system namespace (ReadOnlyDirectory=, + ReadWriteDirectoy=, PrivateTmp=) has been reworked not to + require pivot_root() anymore. This means fewer temporary + directories are created below /tmp for this feature. + + * nspawn containers will now see and receive all submounts + made on the host OS below the root file system of the + container. + + * Forward Secure Sealing is now supported for Journal files, + which provide cryptographical sealing of journal files so + that attackers cannot alter log history anymore without this + being detectable. Lennart will soon post a blog story about + this explaining it in more detail. + + * There are two new service settings RestartPreventExitStatus= + and SuccessExitStatus= which allow configuration of exit + status (exit code or signal) which will be excepted from the + restart logic, resp. consider successful. + + * journalctl gained the new --verify switch that can be used + to check the integrity of the structure of journal files and + (if Forward Secure Sealing is enabled) the contents of + journal files. + + * nspawn containers will now be run with /dev/stdin, /dev/fd/ + and similar symlinks pre-created. This makes running shells + as container init process a lot more fun. + + * The fstab support can now handle PARTUUID= and PARTLABEL= + entries. + + * A new ConditionHost= condition has been added to match + against the hostname (with globs) and machine ID. This is + useful for clusters where a single OS image is used to + provision a large number of hosts which shall run slightly + different sets of services. + + * Services which hit the restart limit will now be placed in a + failure state. + + Contributions from Bertram Poettering, Dave Reisner, Huang + Hang, Kay Sievers, Lennart Poettering, Lukas Nykryn, Martin + Pitt, Simon Peeters, Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek + CHANGES WITH 188: * When running in --user mode systemd will now become a |
