This is mostly about the unified cgroup hierarchy and DHCP. --- NEWS | 61 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 61 insertions(+) diff --git a/NEWS b/NEWS index 1baa9aa1125..56bdf468767 100644 --- a/NEWS +++ b/NEWS @@ -1,5 +1,66 @@ systemd System and Service Manager +CHANGES WITH 226: + + * The DHCP implementation of systemd-networkd gained a set of new + features: + + - Server and client now support transmission and reception of + timezone information. It can be configured via the newly introduced + network options 'DHCP.UseTimezone=', 'DHCPServer.EmitTimezone=', + and 'DHCPServer.Timezone='. + Transmission of timezone information is enabled for containers by + default now. Furthermore, if systemd-timesyncd is running, it will + be updated with the received information. + + - The DHCP server now supports emitting DNS and NTP information. It + can be enabled and configured via 'EmitDNS=', 'DNS=', 'EmitNTP=', + and 'NTP='. + If transmission of DNS and NTP information is enabled, but no + specific data-set is configured, the uplink information is used. + + - Lease timeouts can now be configured via 'MaxLeaseTimeSec=' and + 'DefaultLeaseTimeSec='. + + - The DHCP server now supports improved predictability of leases. + Clients are more likely to get the same lease information back, + even if the server loses state. + + - The DHCP server supports two new configuration options to specify + the lease pool, 'PoolOffset=' and 'PoolSize='. + + * The encapsulation limit of tunnels in systemd-networkd can now be + configured via 'EncapsulationLimit='. It allows modifying the maximum + additional levels of encapsulation that are permitted to be prepended + to a packet. + + * systemd now supports the concept of user-buses over session-buses, if + used with dbus-1.10 (and enabled via dbus --enable-user-session). + + * systemd-networkd now supports predictable interface names for virtio + devices. + + * systemd now optionally supports the unified cgroup hierarchy. If + enabled via the kernel command-line option + 'systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=1', systemd will try to mount the + unified cgroup hierarchy directly on /sys/fs/cgroup. If not enabled, + or not available, systemd will fall back to legacy cgroups. + Host system and containers can mix and match legacy and unified + hierarchies as they wish. By default, nspawn will use the same + hierarchy as the host. + Please note that the unified hierarchy is an experimental kernel + feature and is likely to change in one of the next kernel releases. + Therefore, it should not be enabled by default. + + Contributions from: Cristian Rodríguez, Daniel Mack, David Herrmann, + Eugene Yakubovich, Evgeny Vereshchagin, Filipe Brandenburger, Jan + Alexander Steffens (heftig), Jan Synacek, Kay Sievers, Lennart + Poettering, Mangix, Marcel Holtmann, Martin Pitt, Michal Sekletar, Peter + Hutterer, Piotr Drąg, reverendhomer, Robin Hack, Susant Sahani, Sylvain + Pasche, Thomas Hindoe Paaboel Andersen, Tom Gundersen + + -- Berlin, 2015-09-XX + CHANGES WITH 225: * machinectl gained a new verb 'shell' which opens a fresh shell on the -- 2.39.2
