| systemd System and Session Manager |
| |
| CHANGES WITH 39: |
| * This is mostly a test release, but incorporates many |
| bugfixes. |
| |
| * New systemd-cgtop tool to show control groups by their |
| resource usage. |
| |
| * Linking against libacl for ACLs is optional again. If |
| disabled, support tracking device access for active logins |
| goes becomes unavailable, and so does access to the user |
| journals by the respective users. |
| |
| * If a group "adm" exists, journal files are automatically |
| owned by them, thus allow members of this group full access |
| to the system journal as well as all user journals. |
| |
| * The journal now stores the SELinux context of the logging |
| client for all entries. |
| |
| * Add C++ inclusion guards to all public headers |
| |
| * New output mode "cat" in the journal to print only text |
| messages, without any meta data like date or time. |
| |
| * Include tiny X server wrapper as a temporary stop-gap to |
| teach XOrg udev display enumeration. This is used by display |
| managers such as gdm, and will go away as soon as XOrg |
| learned native udev hotplugging for display devices. |
| |
| * Add new systemd-cat tool for executing arbitrary programs |
| with STDERR/STDOUT connected to the journal. Can also act as |
| BSD logger replacement, and does so by default. |
| |
| * Optionally store all locally generated coredumps in the |
| journal along with meta data. |
| |
| * systemd-tmpfiles learnt four new commands: n, L, c, b, for |
| writing short strings to files (for usage for /sys), and for |
| creating symlinks, character and block device nodes. |
| |
| * New unit file option ControlGroupPersistent= to make cgroups |
| persistent, following the mechanisms outlined in |
| http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PaxControlGroups |
| |
| * Support multiple local RTCs in a sane way |
| |
| * No longer monopolize IO when replaying readahead data on |
| rotating disks, since we might starve non-file-system IO to |
| death, since fanotify() will not see accesses done by blkid, |
| or fsck. |
| |
| * Don't show kernel threads in systemd-cgls anymore, unless |
| requested with new -k switch. |

| CHANGES WITH 38: |
| * This is mostly a test release, but incorporates many |
| bugfixes. |
| |
| * The git repository moved to: |
| git://anongit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd |
| ssh://git.freedesktop.org/git/systemd/systemd |
| |
| * First release with the journal |
| http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/the-journal.html |
| |
| * The journal replaces both systemd-kmsg-syslogd and |
| systemd-stdout-bridge. |
| |
| * New sd_pid_get_unit() API call in libsystemd-logind |
| |
| * Many systemadm clean-ups |
| |
| * Introduce remote-fs-pre.target which is ordered before all |
| remote mounts and may be used to start services before all |
| remote mounts. |
| |
| * Added Mageia support |
| |
| * Add bash completion for systemd-loginctl |
| |
| * Actively monitor PID file creation for daemons which exit in |
| the parent process before having finished writing the PID |
| file in the daemon process. Daemons which do this need to be |
| fixed (i.e. PID file creation must have finished before the |
| parent exits), but we now react a bit more gracefully to them. |
| |
| * Add colourful boot output, mimicking the well-known output |
| of existing distributions. |
| |
| * New option PassCredentials= for socket units, for |
| compatibility with a recent kernel ABI breakage. |
| |
| * /etc/rc.local is now hooked in via a generator binary, and |
| thus will no longer act as synchronization point during |
| boot. |
| |
| * systemctl list-unit-files now supports --root=. |
| |
| * systemd-tmpfiles now understands two new commands: z, Z for |
| relabelling files according to the SELinux database. This is |
| useful to apply SELinux labels to specific files in /sys, |
| among other things. |
| |
| * Output of SysV services is now forwarded to both the console |
| and the journal by default, not only just the console. |
| |
| * New man pages for all APIs from libsystemd-login. |
| |
| * The build tree got reorganized and a the build system is a |
| lot more modular allowing embedded setups to specifically |
| select the components of systemd they are interested in. |
| |
| * Support for Linux systems lacking the kernel VT subsystem is |
| restored. |
| |
| * configure's --with-rootdir= got renamed to |
| --with-rootprefix= to follow the naming used by udev and |
| kmod |
| |
| * Unless specified otherwise we'll now install to /usr instead |
| of /usr/local by default. |
| |
| * Processes with '@' in argv[0][0] are now excluded from the |
| final shut-down killing spree, following the logic explained |
| in: |
| http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/RootStorageDaemons |
| |
| * All processes remaining in a service cgroup when we enter |
| the START or START_PRE states are now killed with |
| SIGKILL. That means it is no longer possible to spawn |
| background processes from ExecStart= lines (which was never |
| supported anyway, and bad style). |
| |
| * New PropagateReloadTo=/PropagateReloadFrom= options to bind |
| reloading of units together. |
