systemd System and Service Manager
+CHANGES WITH 206:
+
+ * The documentation has been updated to cover the various new
+ concepts introduced with 205.
+
+ * Unit files now understand the new %v specifier which
+ resolves to the kernel version string as returned by "uname
+ -r".
+
+ * systemctl now supports filtering the unit list output by
+ load state, active state and sub state, using the new
+ --type= parameter.
+
+ * "systemctl status" will now show the results of the
+ condition checks (like ConditionPathExists= and similar) of
+ the last start attempts of the unit. They are also logged to
+ the journal.
+
+ * "journalctl -b" may now be used to look for boot output of a
+ specific boot. Try "journalctl -b -1" for the previous boot,
+ but the syntax is substantially more powerful.
+
+ * "journalctl --show-cursor" has been added which prints the
+ cursor string the last shown log line. This may then be used
+ with the new "journalctl --after-cursor=" switch to continue
+ browsing logs from that point on.
+
+ * "journalctl --force" may now be used to force regeneration
+ of an FSS key.
+
+ * Device ACLs may now be applied to "dead" devices nodes too,
+ i.e. device nodes that are created based on modalias
+ information of unloaded kernel modules.
+
+ * A new RPM macro has been added that may be used to apply
+ tmpfiles configuration during package installation.
+
+ * systemd-detect-virt and ConditionVirtualization= now can
+ detect User-Mode-Linux machines (UML).
+
+ * journald will now log the effective capabilities set of
+ processes in the message metadata.
+
+ * systemd-cryptsetup has gained support for TrueCrypt volumes.
+
+ * The initrd interface has been simplified (more specifically,
+ support for passing performance data via environment
+ variables and fsck results via files in /run has been
+ removed). These features were non-essential, and are
+ nowadays available in a much nicer way by having systemd in
+ the initrd serialize its state and have the hosts systemd
+ deserialize it again.
+

CHANGES WITH 205:
* Two new unit types have been introduced:
