systemd System and Service Manager
+CHANGES WITH 238 in spe:
+
+ * The MemoryAccounting= unit property now defaults to on. After
+ discussions with the upstream control group maintainers we learnt
+ that the negative impact of cgroup memory accounting on current
+ kernels is finally relatively minimal, so that it should be safe to
+ enable this by default without affecting system performance. Besides
+ memory accounting only task accounting is turned on by default, all
+ other forms of resource accounting (CPU, IO, IP) remain off for now,
+ because it's not clear yet that their impact is small enough to move
+ from opt-in to opt-out. We recommend downstreams to leave memory
+ accounting on by default if kernel 4.14 or higher is are primarily
+ used. On very resource constrained systems or when support for old
+ kernels is a necessity, -Dmemory-accounting-default=false can be used
+ to revert this change.

CHANGES WITH 237:
* Some keyboards come with a zoom see-saw or rocker which until now got
store again, ahead of POLLHUP or POLLERR when they are removed
anyway.
- * A new document UIDS-GIDS.md has been added to the source tree, that
- documents the UID/GID range and assignment assumptions and
+ * A new document doc/UIDS-GIDS.md has been added to the source tree,
+ that documents the UID/GID range and assignment assumptions and
requirements of systemd.
* The watchdog device PID 1 will ping may now be configured through the
* Documentation has been added that lists all of systemd's low-level
environment variables:
- https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/master/ENVIRONMENT.md
+ https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/master/doc/ENVIRONMENT.md
* sd-daemon gained a new API sd_is_socket_sockaddr() for determining
whether a specific socket file descriptor matches a specified socket
booted up with "systemd-nspawn -b -i", qemu-kvm or on any physical
UEFI PC. This functionality is particularly useful to easily test
local changes made to systemd in a pristine, defined environment. See
- HACKING for details.
+ doc/HACKING for details.
* configure learned the --with-support-url= option to specify the
distribution's bugtracker.
