2014-11-29journald: Support journald.conf.d directories in the usual search pathsJosh Triplett
2014-07-11journald: turn ForwardToSyslog= off by defaultLennart Poettering
After all, rsyslog and friends nowadays read their data directly from the journal, hence the forwarding is unnecessary in most cases.
2014-06-19journald: make SplitMode=uid the defaultLennart Poettering
Now that we actually can distuingish system and normal users there's no point in taking session information into account anymore when splitting up logs. This has the beenfit with that coredump information will actually end up in each user's own journal.
2014-05-16man: update journald rate limit defaultsMantas Mikulėnas
This brings the man page back into sync with the actual code.
2014-03-14journald: add support for wall forwardingSebastian Thorarensen
This will let journald forward logs as messages sent to all logged in users (like wall). Two options are added: * ForwardToWall (default yes) * MaxLevelWall (default emerg) 'ForwardToWall' is overridable by kernel command line option 'systemd.journald.forward_to_wall'. This is used to emulate the traditional syslogd behaviour of sending emergency messages to all logged in users.

Issues fixed: * missing words required by grammar * duplicated or extraneous words * inappropriate forms (e.g. singular/plural), and declinations * orthographic misspellings

2014-01-11journald: do not free space when disk space runs lowZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
Before, journald would remove journal files until both MaxUse= and KeepFree= settings would be satisfied. The first one depends (if set automatically) on the size of the file system and is constant. But the second one depends on current use of the file system, and a spike in disk usage would cause journald to delete journal files, trying to reach usage which would leave 15% of the disk free. This behaviour is surprising for the user who doesn't expect his logs to be purged when disk usage goes above 85%, which on a large disk could be some gigabytes from being full. In addition attempting to keep 15% free provides an attack vector where filling the disk sufficiently disposes of almost all logs. Instead, obey KeepFree= only as a limit on adding additional files. When replacing old files with new, ignore KeepFree=. This means that if journal disk usage reached some high point that at some later point start to violate the KeepFree= constraint, journald will not add files to go above this point, but it will stay (slightly) below it. When journald is restarted, it forgets the previous maximum usage value, and sets the limit based on the current usage, so if disk remains to be filled, journald might use one journal-file-size less on each restart, if restarts happen just after rotation. This seems like a reasonable compromise between implementation complexity and robustness.
2013-12-25man: resolve word omissionsJan Engelhardt
This is a recurring submission and includes corrections to: word omissions and word class choice.
2013-12-18man: add DOI for refereed article on Forward Secure Sealing to journald.conf(5)Jason St. John
In journalctl(1), be more explicit about the reference to "Seal=" in journald.conf(5) and what information can be found there.
2013-08-04man: wording and grammar updatesJan Engelhardt
This includes regularly-submitted corrections to comma setting and orthographical mishaps that appeared in man/ in recent commits.

2013-06-24journald: fix space limits reportingZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
Reporting of the free space was bogus, since the remaining space was compared with the maximum allowed, instead of the current use being compared with the maximum allowed. Simplify and fix by reporting limits directly at the point where they are calculated. Also, assign a UUID to the message.

2013-05-03journal: Set the default keep free value to 15% (up from 5%)Colin Guthrie
As some SSDs are still seeing performance degredation when reaching 85% usage the default value of 5% seems a little low. Set this to 15% by default.
2013-03-25journal: Add sync timer to journal serverOleksii Shevchuk
Add option to force journal sync with fsync. Default timeout is 5min. Interval configured via SyncIntervalSec option at journal.conf. Synced journal files will be marked as OFFLINE. Manual sync can be performed via sending SIGUSR1.

There's no point in making this configurable, so let's drop it in order to simplify configuration a bit.

This also enables time-based rotation (but not vacuuming) after 1month, so that not more one month of journal is lost at a time per vacuuming.

"permanent" is simply the wrong term and we use "persistant" in most other contexts to correct this.

2012-04-12relicense to LGPLv2.1 (with exceptions)Lennart Poettering
We finally got the OK from all contributors with non-trivial commits to relicense systemd from GPL2+ to LGPL2.1+. Some udev bits continue to be GPL2+ for now, but we are looking into relicensing them too, to allow free copy/paste of all code within systemd. The bits that used to be MIT continue to be MIT. The big benefit of the relicensing is that closed source code may now link against libsystemd-login.so and friends.
