* The parsing of RootImageOptions= and the mount image parameters of
ExtensionImages= and MountImages= has been changed so that the last
- duplicated definition for a given partition wins and is applied,
- rather than the first, to keep these options coherent with other
- unit settings.
+ definition for a given partition wins and is applied, rather than the

* Support for non-system users and groups in udev rules and
systemd-networkd configuration has been restored, but is deprecated
Changes in other components:
* New options SYSTEMD_COLORS=auto-16, SYSTEMD_COLORS=auto-256, and
- SYSTEMD_COLORS=auto-24bit, which are like SYSTEMD_COLORS=16,
- SYSTEMD_COLORS=256, and SYSTEMD_COLORS=24bit respectively when output
- is to a non-dumb TTY, and like SYSTEMD_COLORS=no otherwise.
-
- * Minimum backlight brightness clamp for restoring it at boot has been
- lowered from 5% to 1%. This is a safe change allowing more chance to
- user environments to set lower values that won't be set higher at boot
- while still giving the chance to recover from blackouts because
- excessive lower bright values by just rebooting. Notice that if your
- environment allow you to set excessive low brightness values this has
- nothing to do with systemd's brightness clamp.
+ SYSTEMD_COLORS=auto-24bit have been added. They are like
+ SYSTEMD_COLORS=16, SYSTEMD_COLORS=256, and SYSTEMD_COLORS=24bit
+ respectively when output is to a non-dumb TTY, and degrade to
+ SYSTEMD_COLORS=no otherwise.
+
+ * The minimum backlight brightness value used when restoring backlight
+ levels at boot has been lowered from 5% to 1%. This lower value
+ should be sufficient to avoid blacked-out displays, but allows user
+ environments to use a wider range of values (without lower values
+ being reset during reboot). Note that environments may still set very
+ low brightness values at runtime independently of the systemd clamp
+ which only applies during boot.
