their builds as unfortunately the popular container managers have not
caught up with the kernel API changes.
+ * Man pages are not built by default anymore (html pages were already
+ disabled by default), to make development builds quicker. When
+ building systemd for a full installation with documentation, meson
+ should be called -Dman=true and/or -Dhtml=true as appropriate. The
+ default was changed based on the assumption that quick one-off or
+ repeated development builds are much more common than full optimized
+ builds for installation, and people need to pass various other
+ options to when doing "proper" builds anyway, so the gain from making
+ development builds quicker is bigger than the one time disruption for
+ packagers.
+
+ Two scripts are created in the *build* directory to generate and
+ preview man and html pages on demand, e.g.:
+
+ build/man/man systemctl
+ build/man/html systemd.index
+
+ * /usr/sbin/halt.local is no longer supported. Implementation in
+ distributions was inconsistent and it seems this functionality was
+ very rarely used.
+
+ To replace this functionality, users should:
+ - either define a new unit and make it a dependency of final.target
+ (systemctl add-wants final.target my-halt-local.service)
+ - or move the shutdown script to /usr/lib/systemd/system-shutdown/
+ and ensure that it accepts "halt", "poweroff", "reboot", and
+ "kexec" as an argument, see the description in systemd-shutdown(8).
+
+ * When a [Match] section in .link or .network file is empty (contains
+ no match patterns), a warning will be emitted. Please add any "match
+ all" pattern instead, e.g. OriginalName=* or Name=* if case all
+ interfaces should really be matched.
