CHANGES WITH 236 in spe:
- * 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.
+ * 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, preventing the kernel from automatically creating
+ dummy0. All dummy interfaces must now be explicitly created.
* systemd-resolved now maintains a new dynamic
- /run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf compatibility file. It is now
- recommended to maintain /etc/resolv.conf as a symlink to this new
- dynamic file. It points at the systemd-resolved stub DNS 127.0.0.53
- resolver and it includes dynamically acquired search domains. This
- achieves a more correct DNS resolution by software that bypasses
- local DNS APIs (e.g. NSS).

* 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.

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.

* 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

+ files. This is intended to be used by drop-ins under /usr/lib/.

+ * systemd-firstboot may now also set 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=.
+ * Udev "changed" events for devices which are exposed as systemd
+ .device units are now propagated to units specified in
+ ReloadPropagatedFrom= as reload requests.
- * 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.
+ * If a udev device has 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 used as the
+ instance.
* SystemCallFilter= in unit files has been extended so that an "errno"
can be specified individually for each system call. Example:
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.
+ * The networkd DHCPv6 client now implements the FQDN option (RFC 4704).
- * 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
- and systemd-mount 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.
+ * New StandardInputData= and StandardInputText= settings along with the
+ new option StandardInput=data may be used to configure textual or
+ binary data that shall be passed to the executed service process via
+ standard input, 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.
+ * 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

* "machinectl bind" may now be used to bind mount non-directories
(i.e. regularfiles, devices, fifos, sockets).
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.
