systemd System and Service Manager
-CHANGES WITH 245 in spe:
+CHANGES WITH 246 in spe:
+ * The fs.suid_dumpable sysctl is set to 2 / "suidsafe". This allows
+ systemd-coredump to save core files for suid processes. When saving
+ the core file, systemd-coredump will use the effective uid and gid of
+ the process that faulted.
+
+ * "systemctl list-units" and "systemctl list-machines" no longer hide
+ their first output column with --no-legend. To hide the first column,
+ use --plain.
+
+ * The service manager gained basic support for cgroup v2 freezer. Units
+ can now be suspended or resumed either using new systemctl verbs,
+ freeze and thaw respectively, or via D-Bus.
+
+CHANGES WITH 245:
* A new tool "systemd-repart" has been added, that operates as an
idempotent declarative repartitioner for GPT partition tables.
sockets and other file system objects are generated taking the new
database into account.
+ * systemd/PID 1 accepts a new "systemd.show-status=error" setting, and
+ "quiet" has been changed to imply that instead of
+ "systemd.show-status=auto". In this mode, only messages about errors
+ and significant delays in boot are shown on the console.
+
* The sd-event.h API gained native support for the new Linux "pidfd"
concept. This permits watching processes using file descriptors
instead of PID numbers, which fixes a number of races and makes
support for a special new value "_dhcp". If set, the configured
static route uses the gateway host configured via DHCP.
- * New User= and SuppressPrefixLength= settings has been implemented
+ * New User= and SuppressPrefixLength= settings have been implemented
for the [RoutingPolicyRule] section of .network files to configure
source routing based on UID ranges and prefix length, respectively.
* networkctl gained support for showing per-interface logs in its
"status" output.
+ * systemd-networkd-wait-online gained support for specifying the maximum
+ operational state to wait for, and to wait for interfaces to
+ disappear.
+
* The [Match] section of .link and .network files now supports a new
option PermanentMACAddress= which may be used to check against the
permanent MAC address of a network device even if a randomized MAC
such files in version 243.
* systemd-logind will now validate access to the operation of changing
- the virtual terminal via a PolicyKit action. By default, only users
+ the virtual terminal via a polkit action. By default, only users
with at least one session on a local VT are granted permission.
* When systemd sets up PAM sessions that invoked service processes
shall run in, the pam_setcred() API is now invoked, thus permitting
PAM modules to set additional credentials for the processes.
- …
+ * portablectl attach/detach verbs now accept --now and --enable options
+ to combine attachment with enablement and invocation, or detachment
+ with stopping and disablement.
+
+ * UPGRADE ISSUE: a bug where some jobs were trimmed as redundant was
+ fixed, which in turn exposed bugs in unit configuration of services
+ which have Type=oneshot and should only run once, but do not have
+ RemainAfterExit=yes set. Without RemainAfterExit=yes, a one-shot
+ service may be started again after exiting successfully, for example
+ as a dependency in another transaction. Affected services included
+ some internal systemd services (most notably
+ systemd-vconsole-setup.service, which was updated to have
+ RemainAfterExit=yes), and plymouth-start.service. Please ensure that
+ plymouth has been suitably updated or patched before upgrading to
+ this systemd release. See
+ https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1807771 for some
+ additional discussion.

lookup is likely to trigger nss-ldap which in turn might use NSS to
ask systemd-resolved for hostname lookups. This will hence result in
a deadlock: a user name lookup in order to start

requested at build time.
* systemd-networkd's [Address] section in .network files gained a new

directory is specified as empty string this mechanism is selected. An
example usage is --overlay=+/var::/var, which creates an overlay

* systemd-resolve conveniently resolves DANE records with the --tlsa

system preset files.
- * nss-myhostname will now resolve the single-label host name
+ * nss-myhostname will now resolve the single-label hostname

resolved after all other name sources (if nss-myhostname is
configured properly) and should hence not negatively impact
- systems that use the single-label host name "gateway" in
