2013-07-16man: use HTTPS links for links that support itJason St. John
2013-07-03man: more grammar improvementsJan Engelhardt
- place commas - expand contractions (this is written prose :) - add some missing words
2013-07-02man: improve grammar and word formatting in numerous man pagesJason St. John
Use proper grammar, word usage, adjective hyphenation, commas, capitalization, spelling, etc. To improve readability, some run-on sentences or sentence fragments were revised. [zj: remove the space from 'file name', 'host name', and 'time zone'.]

2013-03-07man: Unify title for configuration filesJan Janssen
2012-07-16man: reword man page titlesLennart Poettering
Make sure the man page titles are similar in style and capitalization so that our man page index looks pretty.
2012-07-13man: move header file man pages from section 7 to 3Lennart Poettering
This way we can include documentation about minor macros/inline function within the introducionary man page in a sane way.

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.

2011-07-25machine-id: be nice and generate compliant v4 UUIDsLennart Poettering
Newly generated machine IDs now qualify as randomized v4 UUIds. This is trivial to do and hopefully increases adoption of the ID for various purposes.

2011-03-04main: introduce /etc/machine-idLennart Poettering
This is supposed to play the same roles /var/lib/dbus/machine-id, however fixes a couple of problems: - It is available during early boot since it is stored in /etc - Removes the ID from the D-Bus context and moves it into a system context, thus hopefully lowering hesitation by people to use it. - It is generated at installation time. If the file is empty at boot time it will be mounted over with a randomly generated ID, which is not saved to disk. This is useful to support state-less machines with no transient or writable /etc configuration.
