Moreover, they were only half-way + implemented as the option to control behaviour regarding + these dependencies was never added to systemctl. By removing + these dependency types the execution engine becomes a bit + simpler. Unit files that use these dependencies should be + changed to use the non-Overridable dependency types + instead. In fact, when parsing unit files with these + options, that's what systemd will automatically convert them + too, but it will also warn, asking users to fix the unit + files accordingly. Removal of these dependency types should + only affect a negligible number of unit files in the wild. + + * Behaviour of networkd's IPForward= option changed + (again). It will no longer maintain a per-interface setting, + but propagate one way from interfaces where this is enabled + to the global kernel setting. The global setting will be + enabled when requested by a network that is set up, but + never be disabled again. This change was made to make sure + IPv4 and IPv6 behaviour regarding packet forwarding is + similar (as the Linux IPv6 stack does not support + per-interface control of this setting) and to minimize + surprises. + * In unit files the behaviour of %u, %U, %h, %s has changed.
