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 |
