CHANGES WITH 236 in spe:
- * The modprobe.d drop-in, introduced in v235 for the bonding module,
- has been extended to also set the dummy module option numdummies=0,
- resolving issues with the kernel creating dummy0.
+ * The modprobe.d/ drop-in for the bonding.ko kernel module introduced
+ in v235, has been extended to also set the dummy.ko module option
+ numdummies=0, resolving issues with the kernel creating the dummy0
+ network interface implicitly.
* systemd-resolved now maintains a new dynamic
/run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf compatibility file. It is now
achieves a more correct DNS resolution by software that bypasses
local DNS APIs (e.g. NSS).
- * uaccess tag has been dropped from /dev/kvm and /dev/dri/renderD*.
- These devices now have 0666 permsions by default. /dev/dri/renderD*
- will now be owned by the render group along with /dev/kfd.
+ * The "uaccess" udev tag has been dropped from /dev/kvm and
+ /dev/dri/renderD*. These devices now have the 0666 permissions by
+ default (but this may be changed at build-time). /dev/dri/renderD*
+ will now be owned by the "render" group along with /dev/kfd.
+
+ * This enables "DynamicUser=yes" by default for
+ systemd-timesyncd.service, systemd-journal-gatewayd.service and
+ systemd-journal-upload.service. This means "nss-systemd" really
+ should be enabled in /etc/nsswitch.conf to ensure the UIDs assigned
+ to these services show up properly in the user database.
+
+ * In systemd-networkd, the IPv6 RA logic now optionally may announce
+ DNS server and domain information.
+
+ * Support for the LUKS2 on-disk format for encrypted partitions has
+ been added. This requires libcryptsetup2 during compilation and
+ runtime.
+
+ * The systemd --user instance will not signal "readiness" when its
+ basic.target unit has been reached, instead of when the run queue ran
+ empty for the first time.
+
+ * Unit files learnt three new % specifiers that are expanded during
+ loading: %S resolves to the top-level state directory (/var/lib for
+ the system instance, $XDG_CONFIG_HOME for the user instance), %C
+ resolves to the top-level cache directory (/var/cache for the system
+ instance, $XDG_CACHE_HOME for the user instance), %L resolves to the
+ top-level logs directory (/var/log for the system instance,
+ $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/log/ for the user instance). This matches the
+ existing %t specifier, that resolves to the top-level runtime
+ directory (/run for the system instance, and $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR for the
+ user instance).
+
+ * journalctl learnt a new parameter --output-fields= for limiting the
+ set of journal fields to output in verbose and JSON output modes.
+
+ * systemd-timesyncd's configuration file gained a new option
+ RootDistanceMaxSec= for setting the maximum root distance, as well as
+ the new options PollIntervalMinSec= and PollIntervalMaxSec= to tweak
+ the minimum and maximum poll interval.
+
+ * bootctl gained a new command "list" for listing all available boot
+ menu items on systems that follor the boot loader specification.
+
+ * systemctl gained a new --dry-run switch that shows what would be done
+ instead of doing it, and is currently supported by the shutdown and
+ sleep verbs.
+
+ * ConditionSecurity= know can detect the TOMOYO security module.
+
+ * Unit file [Install] sections are now also respected in unit drop-in
+ files.
+
+ * systemd-firstboot may now also set up the initial keyboard mapping.
+
+ * When udev devices that are exposed as systemd .device units see a
+ "changed" events, this is propagated as reload from the units, in
+ respect to ReloadPropagatedFrom=.
+
+ * When a udev device with a SYSTEMD_WANTS= property containing a
+ systemd unit template name (i.e. a name in the form of
+ 'foobar@.service', without the instance component between the '@' and
+ the '.'), then the escaped sysfs path of the device is automatically
+ inserted when the unit is added as dependency.
+
+ * SystemCallFilter= in unit files has been extended so that an "errno"
+ can be specified individually for each system call. Example:
+ SystemCallFilter=~uname:EILSEQ.
+
+ * The cgroup delegation logic has been substantially updated. Delegate=
+ now optionally takes a list of controllers (instead of a boolean, as
+ before), which lists the controllers to delegate at least.
+
+ * The networkd DHCPv6 client now implements the FQDN option (RFC 4704)
+
+ * Two new unit file options have been added: LogLevelMax= configures
+ the maximum log level any process of the unit may log at
+ (i.e. anything with a lesser priority than what is specified is
+ automatically dropped). LogExtraFields= allows configuration of
+ additional journal fields to attach to all log records generated by
+ any of the unit's processes.
+
+ * A new unit file option CollectMode= has been added, that allows
+ tweaking the garbage collection logic for units. It may be used to
+ tell systemd to garbage collect units that have failed automatically
+ (normally it only GCs units that exited successfully). systemd-run
+ exposes this new functionality wiht a new -G option.
+
+ * Services gained a two new settings StandardInputData= and
+ StadardInputText=, along with a new option StandardInput=data. They
+ may be used to configure textual or binary data that shall be passed
+ to the executed service process via STDIN, encoded in-line in the
+ unit file.
+
+ * StandardInput=, StandardOutput= and StandardError= may now be used to
+ connect stdin/stdout/stderr of executed processes directly with a
+ file or AF_UNIX socket in the file system, using the new "file:" option.
+
+ * "machinectl bind" may now be used to bind mount non-directories
+ (i.e. regularfiles, devices, fifos, sockets).
+
+ * systemd-analyze gained a new verb "calendar" for validating and
+ testing calendar time specifications to use for OnCalendar= in timer
+ units. Besides validating the expression it will calculate the next
+ time the specified expression would elapse.
+
+ * In addition to the pre-existing FailureAction= unit file setting
+ there's now SuccessAction=, for configuring an shutdown action to
+ execute when a unit completed successfully. This is useful in
+ particular inside of containers that shall terminate after some
+ workload has been completed. Also, both options are now supported for
+ all unit types, not just services.
+
+ * networkds's IP rule support gained two new options
+ IncomingInterface=and OutgoingInterface= for configuring the incoming
+ and outgoing interfaces of configured rules. systemd-networkd also
+ gained support for "vxcan" network devices.
+
+ * networkd gained a new setting RequiredForOnline=, taking a
+ boolean. If set, systemd-wait-online will take it into consideration
+ when determining that the system is up, otherwise it will ignore the
+ interface for this purpose.
+
+ * The sd_notify() protocol gained support for a new operation: with
+ FDSTOREREMOVE=1 file descriptors may be removed from the per-service
+ store again, ahead of POLLHUP or POLLERR when they are removed
+ anyway.
