For more details, see: + https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2022-September/048352.html + + * We intend to remove cgroup v1 support from a systemd release after + the end of 2023. If you run services that make explicit use of + cgroup v1 features (i.e. the "legacy hierarchy" with separate + hierarchies for each controller), please implement compatibility with + cgroup v2 (i.e. the "unified hierarchy") sooner rather than later. + Most of Linux userspace has been ported over already. + + * Support for System V service scripts is now deprecated and will be + removed in a future release. Please make sure to update your software + *now* to include a native systemd unit file instead of a legacy + System V script to retain compatibility with future systemd releases. + + * Support for the SystemdOptions EFI variable is deprecated. + 'bootctl systemd-efi-options' will emit a warning when used. It seems + that this feature is little-used and it is better to use alternative + approaches like credentials and confexts. The plan is to drop support + altogether at a later point, but this might be revisited based on + user feedback. + + * systemd-run's switch --expand-environment= which currently is disabled + by default when combined with --scope, will be changed in a future + release to be enabled by default. + CHANGES WITH 254: Announcements of Future Feature Removals and Incompatible Changes: -- 2.47.3
