+ * The fs.protected_regular and fs.protected_fifos sysctls, which were
+ added in Linux 4.19 to make some data spoofing attacks harder, are
+ now enabled by default. While this will hopefully improve the
+ security of most installations, it is technically a backwards
+ incompatible change; to disable these sysctls again, place the
+ following lines in /etc/sysctl.d/60-protected.conf or a similar file:
+
+ fs.protected_regular = 0
+ fs.protected_fifos = 0
+
+ Note that the similar hardlink and symlink protection has been
+ enabled since v199, and may be disabled likewise.
+
+ * The files read from the EnvironmentFile= setting in unit files now
+ parse backslashes inside quotes literally, matching the behaviour of
+ POSIX shells.
+
+ * udevadm trigger, udevadm control, udevadm settle and udevadm monitor
+ now automatically become NOPs when run in a chroot() environment.
+
+ * The tmpfiles.d/ "C" line type will now copy directory trees not only
+ when the destination is so far missing, but also if it already exists
+ as a directory and is empty. This is useful to cater for systems
+ where directory trees are put together from multiple separate mount
+ points but otherwise empty.
+
+ * A new function sd_bus_close_unref() (and the associated
+ sd_bus_close_unrefp()) has been added to libsystemd, that combines
+ sd_bus_close() and sd_bus_unref() in one.
+
+ * udevadm control learnt a new option for --ping for testing whether a
+ systemd-udevd instance is running and reacting.
