3 | CHANGES WITH 44: |
4 | * This is mostly a bugfix release | |
5 | ||
6 | * Support optional initialization of the machine ID from the | |
7 | KVM or container configured UUID. | |
8 | ||
9 | * Support immediate reboots with "systemctl reboot -ff" | |
10 | ||
11 | * Show /etc/os-release data in systemd-analyze output | |
12 | ||
13 | * Many bugfixes for the journal, including endianess fixes and | |
14 | ensuring that disk space enforcement works | |
15 | ||
16 | * sd-login.h is C++ comptaible again | |
17 | ||
18 | * Extend the /etc/os-release format on request of the Debian | |
19 | folks | |
20 | ||
21 | * We now refuse non-UTF8 strings used in various configuration | |
22 | and unit files. This is done to ensure we don't pass invalid | |
23 | data over D-Bus or expose it elsewhere. | |
24 | ||
25 | * Register Mimo USB Screens as suitable for automatic seat | |
26 | configuration | |
27 | ||
28 | * Read SELinux client context from journal clients in a race | |
29 | free fashion | |
30 | ||
31 | * Reorder configuration file lookup order. /etc now always | |
32 | overrides /run in order to allow the administrator to always | |
33 | and unconditionally override vendor supplied or | |
34 | automatically generated data. | |
35 | ||
36 | * The various user visible bits of the journal now have man | |
37 | pages. We still lack man pages for the journal API calls | |
38 | however. | |
39 | ||
40 | * We now ship all man pages in HTML format again in the | |
41 | tarball. | |

48 | CHANGES WITH 43: |
49 | * This is mostly a bugfix release | |
50 | ||
51 | * systems lacking /etc/os-release are no longer supported. | |
52 | ||
53 | * Various functionality updates to libsystemd-login.so | |
54 | ||
55 | * Track class of PAM logins to distuingish greeters from | |
56 | normal user logins. | |

61 | CHANGES WITH 42: |
62 | * This is an important bugfix release for v41. | |
63 | ||
64 | * Building man pages is now optional which should be useful | |
65 | for those building systemd from git but unwilling to install | |
66 | xsltproc. | |
67 | ||
68 | * Watchdog support for supervising services is now usable. In | |
69 | a future release support for hardware watchdogs | |
70 | (i.e. /dev/watchdog) will be added building on this. | |
71 | ||
72 | * Service start rate limiting is now configurable and can be | |
73 | turned off per service. When a start rate limit is hit a | |
74 | reboot can automatically be triggered. | |
75 | ||
76 | * New CanReboot(), CanPowerOff() bus calls in systemd-logind. | |

82 | CHANGES WITH 41: |
83 | * The systemd binary is installed /usr/lib/systemd/systemd now; | |
84 | An existing /sbin/init symlink needs to be adapted with the | |
85 | package update. | |
86 | ||
b13df964 LP |
87 | * The code that loads kernel modules has been ported to invoke |
88 | libkmod directly, instead of modprobe. This means we do not | |
89 | support systems with module-init-tools anymore. | |
90 | ||
91 | * Watchdog support is now already useful, but still not | |
92 | complete. | |
93 | ||
94 | * A new kernel command line option systemd.setenv= is | |
95 | understood to set system wide environment variables | |
96 | dynamically at boot. | |
97 | ||
ccd07a08 LP |
98 | * We now limit the set of capabilities of systemd-journald. |
99 | ||
353e12c2 LP |
100 | * We now set SIGPIPE to ignore by default, since it only is |
101 | useful in shell pipelines, and has little use in general | |
102 | code. This can be disabled with IgnoreSIPIPE=no in unit | |
103 | files. | |

109 | CHANGES WITH 40: |
110 | * This is mostly a bugfix release | |
111 | ||
112 | * We now expose the reason why a service failed in the | |
113 | "Result" D-Bus property. | |
114 | ||
115 | * Rudimentary service watchdog support (will be completed over | |
116 | the next few releases.) | |
117 | ||
118 | * When systemd forks off in order execute some service we will | |
119 | now immediately changes its argv[0] to reflect which process | |
120 | it will execute. This is useful to minimize the time window | |
121 | with a generic argv[0], which makes bootcharts more useful | |

127 | CHANGES WITH 39: |
128 | * This is mostly a test release, but incorporates many | |
129 | bugfixes. | |
130 | ||
131 | * New systemd-cgtop tool to show control groups by their | |
132 | resource usage. | |
133 | ||
134 | * Linking against libacl for ACLs is optional again. If | |
135 | disabled, support tracking device access for active logins | |
136 | goes becomes unavailable, and so does access to the user | |
137 | journals by the respective users. | |
138 | ||
139 | * If a group "adm" exists, journal files are automatically | |
140 | owned by them, thus allow members of this group full access | |
141 | to the system journal as well as all user journals. | |
142 | ||
143 | * The journal now stores the SELinux context of the logging | |
144 | client for all entries. | |
145 | ||
146 | * Add C++ inclusion guards to all public headers | |
147 | ||
148 | * New output mode "cat" in the journal to print only text | |
149 | messages, without any meta data like date or time. | |
150 | ||
151 | * Include tiny X server wrapper as a temporary stop-gap to | |
152 | teach XOrg udev display enumeration. This is used by display | |
153 | managers such as gdm, and will go away as soon as XOrg | |
154 | learned native udev hotplugging for display devices. | |
155 | ||
156 | * Add new systemd-cat tool for executing arbitrary programs | |
157 | with STDERR/STDOUT connected to the journal. Can also act as | |
158 | BSD logger replacement, and does so by default. | |
159 | ||
160 | * Optionally store all locally generated coredumps in the | |
161 | journal along with meta data. | |
162 | ||
163 | * systemd-tmpfiles learnt four new commands: n, L, c, b, for | |
164 | writing short strings to files (for usage for /sys), and for | |
165 | creating symlinks, character and block device nodes. | |
166 | ||
167 | * New unit file option ControlGroupPersistent= to make cgroups | |
168 | persistent, following the mechanisms outlined in | |
169 | http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PaxControlGroups | |
170 | ||
171 | * Support multiple local RTCs in a sane way | |
172 | ||
173 | * No longer monopolize IO when replaying readahead data on | |
174 | rotating disks, since we might starve non-file-system IO to | |
175 | death, since fanotify() will not see accesses done by blkid, | |
176 | or fsck. | |
177 | ||
178 | * Don't show kernel threads in systemd-cgls anymore, unless | |
179 | requested with new -k switch. | |

184 | CHANGES WITH 38: | |
185 | * This is mostly a test release, but incorporates many | |
186 | bugfixes. | |
187 | ||
188 | * The git repository moved to: | |
189 | git://anongit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd | |
190 | ssh://git.freedesktop.org/git/systemd/systemd | |
191 | ||
192 | * First release with the journal | |
193 | http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/the-journal.html | |
194 | ||
195 | * The journal replaces both systemd-kmsg-syslogd and | |
196 | systemd-stdout-bridge. | |
197 | ||
198 | * New sd_pid_get_unit() API call in libsystemd-logind | |
199 | ||
200 | * Many systemadm clean-ups | |
201 | ||
202 | * Introduce remote-fs-pre.target which is ordered before all | |
203 | remote mounts and may be used to start services before all | |
204 | remote mounts. | |
205 | ||
206 | * Added Mageia support | |
207 | ||
208 | * Add bash completion for systemd-loginctl | |
209 | ||
210 | * Actively monitor PID file creation for daemons which exit in | |
211 | the parent process before having finished writing the PID | |
212 | file in the daemon process. Daemons which do this need to be | |
213 | fixed (i.e. PID file creation must have finished before the | |
214 | parent exits), but we now react a bit more gracefully to them. | |
215 | ||
216 | * Add colourful boot output, mimicking the well-known output | |
217 | of existing distributions. | |
218 | ||
219 | * New option PassCredentials= for socket units, for | |
220 | compatibility with a recent kernel ABI breakage. | |
221 | ||
222 | * /etc/rc.local is now hooked in via a generator binary, and | |
223 | thus will no longer act as synchronization point during | |
224 | boot. | |
225 | ||
226 | * systemctl list-unit-files now supports --root=. | |
227 | ||
228 | * systemd-tmpfiles now understands two new commands: z, Z for | |
229 | relabelling files according to the SELinux database. This is | |
230 | useful to apply SELinux labels to specific files in /sys, | |
231 | among other things. | |
232 | ||
233 | * Output of SysV services is now forwarded to both the console | |
234 | and the journal by default, not only just the console. | |
235 | ||
236 | * New man pages for all APIs from libsystemd-login. | |
237 | ||
238 | * The build tree got reorganized and a the build system is a | |
239 | lot more modular allowing embedded setups to specifically | |
240 | select the components of systemd they are interested in. | |
241 | ||
242 | * Support for Linux systems lacking the kernel VT subsystem is | |
243 | restored. | |
244 | ||
245 | * configure's --with-rootdir= got renamed to | |
246 | --with-rootprefix= to follow the naming used by udev and | |
247 | kmod | |
248 | ||
249 | * Unless specified otherwise we'll now install to /usr instead | |
250 | of /usr/local by default. | |
251 | ||
252 | * Processes with '@' in argv[0][0] are now excluded from the | |
253 | final shut-down killing spree, following the logic explained | |
254 | in: | |
255 | http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/RootStorageDaemons | |
256 | ||
257 | * All processes remaining in a service cgroup when we enter | |
258 | the START or START_PRE states are now killed with | |
259 | SIGKILL. That means it is no longer possible to spawn | |
260 | background processes from ExecStart= lines (which was never | |
261 | supported anyway, and bad style). | |
262 | ||
263 | * New PropagateReloadTo=/PropagateReloadFrom= options to bind | |
264 | reloading of units together. | |
