 systemd System and Service Manager

+CHANGES WITH 217:

+

+        * journalctl gained option -t/--identifier to match on the

+          syslog identifier and --utc option to show timestamps in UTC

+          timezone. journalctl now also accepts -n/--lines=all to

+          disable line cap under a pager.

+

+        * Services can notify the manager before they start a reload

+          (by sending RELOADING=1) or shutdown (by sending

+          STOPPING=1). This allows the manager to show the

+          internal state of daemons and closes a race condition

+          when the process is still running but has closed its

+          d-bus connection.

+

+        * Services with Type=oneshot do not have to have any

+          ExecStart commands.

+

+        * User units are now loaded also from

+          $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/systemd/user/. This is similar to the

+          /run/systemd/user directory that was already previously

+          supported, but is under the control of the user.

+

+        * A timeout for the start of the system can be configured. The

+          system can be configured to reboot or poweroff if the basic

+          system default target is not reached before the timeout (new

+          StartTimeoutSec=, StartTimeoutAction=,

+          StartTimeoutRebootArgument= options).

+

+        * systemd-logind can be configured to also handle lid switch

+          events even when the machine is docked or multiple displays

+          are attached (HandleLidSwitchDocked= option).

+

+        * A helper binary and a service have been added which can be

+          used to resume from hibernation in the initramfs. A

+          generator will parse the resume= option on the kernel

+          command-line to trigger resume.

+

+        * systemd-evcat input debugging tool has been added. It will

+          print keys read for the input system and show modifier

+          status.

+

+        * systemd-modeset graphics debugging tool will show undulating

+          rainbows on all connected displays.

+

+        * A user console daemon systemd-consoled has been added. It is

+          a preview, and will so far open a single terminal on each

+          session of the user marked as Desktop=SYSTEMD-CONSOLE.

+

+        * Route metrics can be specified for DHCP routes added by

+          systemd-networkd.

+

+        * SELinux context of socket-actived services can be set from

+          the information provided by the remote peer

+          (SELinuxContextFromNet= option).

+

+        * Userspace firmware loading support has been removed and

+          the minimum supported kernel version is thus bumped to 3.7.

+

+        * Timeout for udev workers has been increased from 1 to 3

+          minutes, but a warning will be printed after 1 minute to

+          help diagnose kernel modules that take a long time to load.

+

+        * Udev rules can now remove tags with TAG-="foobar".

+

+        * Readhead implementation has been removed. In many

+          circumstatances it didn't give expected benefits even for

+          rotational disk drives and was becoming less relevant in the

+          age of SSDs.

+

+        * Swap units can use Discard= to specify discard options.

+          Discard options specified for swaps in /etc/fstab are now

+          respected.

+

+        * Docker containers are now detected as a separate type of

+          virtualization.

+

+        * The Password Agent protocol gained support for queries where

+          the user input is shown, useful e.g. for usernames.

+          systemd-ask-password gained a new --echo option to turn

+          that on.

+

 CHANGES WITH 216:

         * timedated no longer reads NTP implementation unit names from
