3 | CHANGES WITH 39: | |
4 | * This is mostly a test release, but incorporates many | |
5 | bugfixes. | |
6 | ||
7 | * New systemd-cgtop tool to show control groups by their | |
8 | resource usage. | |
9 | ||
10 | * Linking against libacl for ACLs is optional again. If | |
11 | disabled, support tracking device access for active logins | |
12 | goes becomes unavailable, and so does access to the user | |
13 | journals by the respective users. | |
14 | ||
15 | * If a group "adm" exists, journal files are automatically | |
16 | owned by them, thus allow members of this group full access | |
17 | to the system journal as well as all user journals. | |
18 | ||
19 | * The journal now stores the SELinux context of the logging | |
20 | client for all entries. | |
21 | ||
22 | * Add C++ inclusion guards to all public headers | |
23 | ||
24 | * New output mode "cat" in the journal to print only text | |
25 | messages, without any meta data like date or time. | |
26 | ||
27 | * Include tiny X server wrapper as a temporary stop-gap to | |
28 | teach XOrg udev display enumeration. This is used by display | |
29 | managers such as gdm, and will go away as soon as XOrg | |
30 | learned native udev hotplugging for display devices. | |
31 | ||
32 | * Add new systemd-cat tool for executing arbitrary programs | |
33 | with STDERR/STDOUT connected to the journal. Can also act as | |
34 | BSD logger replacement, and does so by default. | |
35 | ||
36 | * Optionally store all locally generated coredumps in the | |
37 | journal along with meta data. | |
38 | ||
39 | * systemd-tmpfiles learnt four new commands: n, L, c, b, for | |
40 | writing short strings to files (for usage for /sys), and for | |
41 | creating symlinks, character and block device nodes. | |
42 | ||
43 | * New unit file option ControlGroupPersistent= to make cgroups | |
44 | persistent, following the mechanisms outlined in | |
45 | http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PaxControlGroups | |
46 | ||
47 | * Support multiple local RTCs in a sane way | |
48 | ||
49 | * No longer monopolize IO when replaying readahead data on | |
50 | rotating disks, since we might starve non-file-system IO to | |
51 | death, since fanotify() will not see accesses done by blkid, | |
52 | or fsck. | |
53 | ||
54 | * Don't show kernel threads in systemd-cgls anymore, unless | |
55 | requested with new -k switch. | |

60 | CHANGES WITH 38: | |
61 | * This is mostly a test release, but incorporates many | |
62 | bugfixes. | |
63 | ||
64 | * The git repository moved to: | |
65 | git://anongit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd | |
66 | ssh://git.freedesktop.org/git/systemd/systemd | |
67 | ||
68 | * First release with the journal | |
69 | http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/the-journal.html | |
70 | ||
71 | * The journal replaces both systemd-kmsg-syslogd and | |
72 | systemd-stdout-bridge. | |
73 | ||
74 | * New sd_pid_get_unit() API call in libsystemd-logind | |
75 | ||
76 | * Many systemadm clean-ups | |
77 | ||
78 | * Introduce remote-fs-pre.target which is ordered before all | |
79 | remote mounts and may be used to start services before all | |
80 | remote mounts. | |
81 | ||
82 | * Added Mageia support | |
83 | ||
84 | * Add bash completion for systemd-loginctl | |
85 | ||
86 | * Actively monitor PID file creation for daemons which exit in | |
87 | the parent process before having finished writing the PID | |
88 | file in the daemon process. Daemons which do this need to be | |
89 | fixed (i.e. PID file creation must have finished before the | |
90 | parent exits), but we now react a bit more gracefully to them. | |
91 | ||
92 | * Add colourful boot output, mimicking the well-known output | |
93 | of existing distributions. | |
94 | ||
95 | * New option PassCredentials= for socket units, for | |
96 | compatibility with a recent kernel ABI breakage. | |
97 | ||
98 | * /etc/rc.local is now hooked in via a generator binary, and | |
99 | thus will no longer act as synchronization point during | |
100 | boot. | |
101 | ||
102 | * systemctl list-unit-files now supports --root=. | |
103 | ||
104 | * systemd-tmpfiles now understands two new commands: z, Z for | |
105 | relabelling files according to the SELinux database. This is | |
106 | useful to apply SELinux labels to specific files in /sys, | |
107 | among other things. | |
108 | ||
109 | * Output of SysV services is now forwarded to both the console | |
110 | and the journal by default, not only just the console. | |
111 | ||
112 | * New man pages for all APIs from libsystemd-login. | |
113 | ||
114 | * The build tree got reorganized and a the build system is a | |
115 | lot more modular allowing embedded setups to specifically | |
116 | select the components of systemd they are interested in. | |
117 | ||
118 | * Support for Linux systems lacking the kernel VT subsystem is | |
119 | restored. | |
120 | ||
121 | * configure's --with-rootdir= got renamed to | |
122 | --with-rootprefix= to follow the naming used by udev and | |
123 | kmod | |
124 | ||
125 | * Unless specified otherwise we'll now install to /usr instead | |
126 | of /usr/local by default. | |
127 | ||
128 | * Processes with '@' in argv[0][0] are now excluded from the | |
129 | final shut-down killing spree, following the logic explained | |
130 | in: | |
131 | http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/RootStorageDaemons | |
132 | ||
133 | * All processes remaining in a service cgroup when we enter | |
134 | the START or START_PRE states are now killed with | |
135 | SIGKILL. That means it is no longer possible to spawn | |
136 | background processes from ExecStart= lines (which was never | |
137 | supported anyway, and bad style). | |
138 | ||
139 | * New PropagateReloadTo=/PropagateReloadFrom= options to bind | |
140 | reloading of units together. | |
