CHANGES WITH 243 in spe:
- * This release enables unprivileged programs (i.e. requiring neither
- setuid nor file capabilities) to send ICMP Echo (i.e. ping) requests
- by turning on the net.ipv4.ping_group_range sysctl of the Linux
- kernel for the whole UNIX group range, i.e. all processes. This
- change should be reasonably safe, as the kernel support for it was
- specifically implemented to allow safe access to ICMP Echo for
- processes lacking any privileges. If this is not desirable, it can be
- disabled again by setting the parameter to "1 0".
-
* Previously, filters defined with SystemCallFilter= would have the
effect that an calling an offending system call would terminate the
calling thread. This behaviour never made much sense, since killing
devices, as well as a new "--stats" switch for showing device
statistics.
+ * networkd.conf gained a new setting SpeedMeter= and
+ SpeedMeterIntervalSec=, to measure bitrate of network interfaces. The
+ measured speed may be shown by 'networkctl status'.
+
* systemd-networkd's .network and .link files gained a new Property=
setting in the [Match] section, to match against devices with
specific udev properties.
