64661ee7 | 3 | CHANGES WITH 182: |
07cd4fc1 KS |
4 | * udev: sources merged into the systemd sources |
5 | ||
6 | * udev: /lib/udev/devices/ are not read anymore; tmpfiles should | |
7 | be used to create workarounds for broken subsystems. | |
64661ee7 | 8 | |
18b754d3 KS |
9 | * systemd-logingctl and systemd-journalctl have been renamed |
10 | to logingctl and journalctl to match systemctl. | |
11 | ||
12 | * The config files: /etc/systemd/systemd-logind.conf and | |
13 | /etc/systemd/systemd-journald.conf have been renamed to | |
14 | logind.conf and journald.conf. Package updates should rename | |
15 | the files to the new names on upgrade. | |
16 | ||

17 | CHANGES WITH 44: |
18 | * This is mostly a bugfix release | |
19 | ||
20 | * Support optional initialization of the machine ID from the | |
21 | KVM or container configured UUID. | |
22 | ||
23 | * Support immediate reboots with "systemctl reboot -ff" | |
24 | ||
25 | * Show /etc/os-release data in systemd-analyze output | |
26 | ||
27 | * Many bugfixes for the journal, including endianess fixes and | |
28 | ensuring that disk space enforcement works | |
29 | ||
30 | * sd-login.h is C++ comptaible again | |
31 | ||
32 | * Extend the /etc/os-release format on request of the Debian | |
33 | folks | |
34 | ||
35 | * We now refuse non-UTF8 strings used in various configuration | |
36 | and unit files. This is done to ensure we don't pass invalid | |
37 | data over D-Bus or expose it elsewhere. | |
38 | ||
39 | * Register Mimo USB Screens as suitable for automatic seat | |
40 | configuration | |
41 | ||
42 | * Read SELinux client context from journal clients in a race | |
43 | free fashion | |
44 | ||
45 | * Reorder configuration file lookup order. /etc now always | |
46 | overrides /run in order to allow the administrator to always | |
47 | and unconditionally override vendor supplied or | |
48 | automatically generated data. | |
49 | ||
50 | * The various user visible bits of the journal now have man | |
51 | pages. We still lack man pages for the journal API calls | |
52 | however. | |
53 | ||
54 | * We now ship all man pages in HTML format again in the | |
55 | tarball. | |

62 | CHANGES WITH 43: |
63 | * This is mostly a bugfix release | |
64 | ||
65 | * systems lacking /etc/os-release are no longer supported. | |
66 | ||
67 | * Various functionality updates to libsystemd-login.so | |
68 | ||
69 | * Track class of PAM logins to distuingish greeters from | |
70 | normal user logins. | |

75 | CHANGES WITH 42: |
76 | * This is an important bugfix release for v41. | |
77 | ||
78 | * Building man pages is now optional which should be useful | |
79 | for those building systemd from git but unwilling to install | |
80 | xsltproc. | |
81 | ||
82 | * Watchdog support for supervising services is now usable. In | |
83 | a future release support for hardware watchdogs | |
84 | (i.e. /dev/watchdog) will be added building on this. | |
85 | ||
86 | * Service start rate limiting is now configurable and can be | |
87 | turned off per service. When a start rate limit is hit a | |
88 | reboot can automatically be triggered. | |
89 | ||
90 | * New CanReboot(), CanPowerOff() bus calls in systemd-logind. | |

96 | CHANGES WITH 41: |
97 | * The systemd binary is installed /usr/lib/systemd/systemd now; | |
98 | An existing /sbin/init symlink needs to be adapted with the | |
99 | package update. | |
100 | ||
b13df964 LP |
101 | * The code that loads kernel modules has been ported to invoke |
102 | libkmod directly, instead of modprobe. This means we do not | |
103 | support systems with module-init-tools anymore. | |
104 | ||
105 | * Watchdog support is now already useful, but still not | |
106 | complete. | |
107 | ||
108 | * A new kernel command line option systemd.setenv= is | |
109 | understood to set system wide environment variables | |
110 | dynamically at boot. | |
111 | ||
ccd07a08 LP |
112 | * We now limit the set of capabilities of systemd-journald. |
113 | ||
353e12c2 LP |
114 | * We now set SIGPIPE to ignore by default, since it only is |
115 | useful in shell pipelines, and has little use in general | |
116 | code. This can be disabled with IgnoreSIPIPE=no in unit | |
117 | files. | |

123 | CHANGES WITH 40: |
124 | * This is mostly a bugfix release | |
125 | ||
126 | * We now expose the reason why a service failed in the | |
127 | "Result" D-Bus property. | |
128 | ||
129 | * Rudimentary service watchdog support (will be completed over | |
130 | the next few releases.) | |
131 | ||
132 | * When systemd forks off in order execute some service we will | |
133 | now immediately changes its argv[0] to reflect which process | |
134 | it will execute. This is useful to minimize the time window | |
135 | with a generic argv[0], which makes bootcharts more useful | |

141 | CHANGES WITH 39: |
142 | * This is mostly a test release, but incorporates many | |
143 | bugfixes. | |
144 | ||
145 | * New systemd-cgtop tool to show control groups by their | |
146 | resource usage. | |
147 | ||
148 | * Linking against libacl for ACLs is optional again. If | |
149 | disabled, support tracking device access for active logins | |
150 | goes becomes unavailable, and so does access to the user | |
151 | journals by the respective users. | |
152 | ||
153 | * If a group "adm" exists, journal files are automatically | |
154 | owned by them, thus allow members of this group full access | |
155 | to the system journal as well as all user journals. | |
156 | ||
157 | * The journal now stores the SELinux context of the logging | |
158 | client for all entries. | |
159 | ||
160 | * Add C++ inclusion guards to all public headers | |
161 | ||
162 | * New output mode "cat" in the journal to print only text | |
163 | messages, without any meta data like date or time. | |
164 | ||
165 | * Include tiny X server wrapper as a temporary stop-gap to | |
166 | teach XOrg udev display enumeration. This is used by display | |
167 | managers such as gdm, and will go away as soon as XOrg | |
168 | learned native udev hotplugging for display devices. | |
169 | ||
170 | * Add new systemd-cat tool for executing arbitrary programs | |
171 | with STDERR/STDOUT connected to the journal. Can also act as | |
172 | BSD logger replacement, and does so by default. | |
173 | ||
174 | * Optionally store all locally generated coredumps in the | |
175 | journal along with meta data. | |
176 | ||
177 | * systemd-tmpfiles learnt four new commands: n, L, c, b, for | |
178 | writing short strings to files (for usage for /sys), and for | |
179 | creating symlinks, character and block device nodes. | |
180 | ||
181 | * New unit file option ControlGroupPersistent= to make cgroups | |
182 | persistent, following the mechanisms outlined in | |
183 | http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PaxControlGroups | |
184 | ||
185 | * Support multiple local RTCs in a sane way | |
186 | ||
187 | * No longer monopolize IO when replaying readahead data on | |
188 | rotating disks, since we might starve non-file-system IO to | |
189 | death, since fanotify() will not see accesses done by blkid, | |
190 | or fsck. | |
191 | ||
192 | * Don't show kernel threads in systemd-cgls anymore, unless | |
193 | requested with new -k switch. | |

198 | CHANGES WITH 38: | |
199 | * This is mostly a test release, but incorporates many | |
200 | bugfixes. | |
201 | ||
202 | * The git repository moved to: | |
203 | git://anongit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd | |
204 | ssh://git.freedesktop.org/git/systemd/systemd | |
205 | ||
206 | * First release with the journal | |
207 | http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/the-journal.html | |
208 | ||
209 | * The journal replaces both systemd-kmsg-syslogd and | |
210 | systemd-stdout-bridge. | |
211 | ||
212 | * New sd_pid_get_unit() API call in libsystemd-logind | |
213 | ||
214 | * Many systemadm clean-ups | |
215 | ||
216 | * Introduce remote-fs-pre.target which is ordered before all | |
217 | remote mounts and may be used to start services before all | |
218 | remote mounts. | |
219 | ||
220 | * Added Mageia support | |
221 | ||
222 | * Add bash completion for systemd-loginctl | |
223 | ||
224 | * Actively monitor PID file creation for daemons which exit in | |
225 | the parent process before having finished writing the PID | |
226 | file in the daemon process. Daemons which do this need to be | |
227 | fixed (i.e. PID file creation must have finished before the | |
228 | parent exits), but we now react a bit more gracefully to them. | |
229 | ||
230 | * Add colourful boot output, mimicking the well-known output | |
231 | of existing distributions. | |
232 | ||
233 | * New option PassCredentials= for socket units, for | |
234 | compatibility with a recent kernel ABI breakage. | |
235 | ||
236 | * /etc/rc.local is now hooked in via a generator binary, and | |
237 | thus will no longer act as synchronization point during | |
238 | boot. | |
239 | ||
240 | * systemctl list-unit-files now supports --root=. | |
241 | ||
242 | * systemd-tmpfiles now understands two new commands: z, Z for | |
243 | relabelling files according to the SELinux database. This is | |
244 | useful to apply SELinux labels to specific files in /sys, | |
245 | among other things. | |
246 | ||
247 | * Output of SysV services is now forwarded to both the console | |
248 | and the journal by default, not only just the console. | |
249 | ||
250 | * New man pages for all APIs from libsystemd-login. | |
251 | ||
252 | * The build tree got reorganized and a the build system is a | |
253 | lot more modular allowing embedded setups to specifically | |
254 | select the components of systemd they are interested in. | |
255 | ||
256 | * Support for Linux systems lacking the kernel VT subsystem is | |
257 | restored. | |
258 | ||
259 | * configure's --with-rootdir= got renamed to | |
260 | --with-rootprefix= to follow the naming used by udev and | |
261 | kmod | |
262 | ||
263 | * Unless specified otherwise we'll now install to /usr instead | |
264 | of /usr/local by default. | |
265 | ||
266 | * Processes with '@' in argv[0][0] are now excluded from the | |
267 | final shut-down killing spree, following the logic explained | |
268 | in: | |
269 | http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/RootStorageDaemons | |
270 | ||
271 | * All processes remaining in a service cgroup when we enter | |
272 | the START or START_PRE states are now killed with | |
273 | SIGKILL. That means it is no longer possible to spawn | |
274 | background processes from ExecStart= lines (which was never | |
275 | supported anyway, and bad style). | |
276 | ||
277 | * New PropagateReloadTo=/PropagateReloadFrom= options to bind | |
278 | reloading of units together. | |
