systemd System and Service Manager
CHANGES WITH 239 in spe:
* NETWORK INTERFACE DEVICE NAMING CHANGES: systemd-udevd's "net_id"
builtin may name network interfaces differently than in previous
versions. SR-IOV virtual functions and NPAR partitions with PCI
function numbers of 8 and above will be named more predictably,
and udev may generate names based on PCI slot number in some cases
where it previously did not.
CHANGES WITH 238:
* The MemoryAccounting= unit property now defaults to on. After
discussions with the upstream control group maintainers we learnt
that the negative impact of cgroup memory accounting on current
kernels is finally relatively minimal, so that it should be safe to
enable this by default without affecting system performance. Besides
memory accounting only task accounting is turned on by default, all
other forms of resource accounting (CPU, IO, IP) remain off for now,
because it's not clear yet that their impact is small enough to move
from opt-in to opt-out. We recommend downstreams to leave memory
accounting on by default if kernel 4.14 or higher is primarily
used. On very resource constrained systems or when support for old
kernels is a necessity, -Dmemory-accounting-default=false can be used
to revert this change.
* rpm scriptlets to update the udev hwdb and rules (%udev_hwdb_update,
%udev_rules_update) and the journal catalog (%journal_catalog_update)
from the upgrade scriptlets of individual packages now do nothing.
Transfiletriggers have been added which will perform those updates
once at the end of the transaction.
Similar transfiletriggers have been added to execute any sysctl.d
and binfmt.d rules. Thus, it should be unnecessary to provide any
scriptlets to execute this configuration from package installation
scripts.
* systemd-sysusers gained a mode where the configuration to execute is
specified on the command line, but this configuration is not executed
directly, but instead it is merged with the configuration on disk,
and the result is executed. This is useful for package installation
scripts which want to create the user before installing any files on
disk (in case some of those files are owned by that user), while
still allowing local admin overrides.
This functionality is exposed to rpm scriptlets through a new
%sysusers_create_package macro. Old %sysusers_create and
%sysusers_create_inline macros are deprecated.
A transfiletrigger for sysusers.d configuration is now installed,
which means that it should be unnecessary to call systemd-sysusers from
package installation scripts, unless the package installs any files
owned by those newly-created users, in which case
%sysusers_create_package should be used.
* Analogous change has been done for systemd-tmpfiles: it gained a mode
where the command-line configuration is merged with the configuration
on disk. This is exposed as the new %tmpfiles_create_package macro,
and %tmpfiles_create is deprecated. A transfiletrigger is installed
for tmpfiles.d, hence it should be unnecessary to call systemd-tmpfiles
from package installation scripts.
* sysusers.d configuration for a user may now also specify the group
number, in addition to the user number ("u username 123:456"), or
without the user number ("u username -:456").
* Configution items for systemd-sysusers can now be specified as
positional arguments when the new --inline switch is used.
* The login shell of users created through sysusers.d may now be
specified (previously, it was always /bin/sh for root and
/sbin/nologin for other users).
* systemd-analyze gained a new --global switch to look at global user
configuration. It also gained a unit-paths verb to list the unit load
paths that are compiled into systemd (which can be used with
--systemd, --user, or --global).
* udevadm trigger gained a new --settle/-w option to wait for any
triggered events to finish (but just those, and not any other events
which are triggered meanwhile).
* The action that systemd-logind takes when the lid is closed and the
machine is connected to external power can now be configured using
HandleLidSwitchExternalPower= in logind.conf. Previously, this action
was determined by HandleLidSwitch=, and, for backwards compatibility,
is still is, if HandleLidSwitchExternalPower= is not explicitly set.
* journalctl will periodically call sd_journal_process() to make it
resilient against inotify queue overruns when journal files are
rotated very quickly.
* Two new functions in libsystemd — sd_bus_get_n_queued_read and
sd_bus_get_n_queued_write — may be used to check the number of
pending bus messages.
* systemd gained a new
org.freedesktop.systemd1.Manager.AttachProcessesToUnit dbus call
which can be used to migrate foreign processes to scope and service
units. The primary user for this new API is systemd itself: the
systemd --user instance uses this call of the systemd --system
instance to migrate processes if it itself gets the request to
migrate processes and the kernel refuses this due to access
restrictions. Thanks to this "systemd-run --scope --user …" works
again in pure cgroups v2 environments when invoked from the user
session scope.
* A new TemporaryFileSystem= setting can be used to mask out part of
the real file system tree with tmpfs mounts. This may be combined
with BindPaths= and BindReadOnlyPaths= to hide files or directories
not relevant to the unit, while still allowing some paths lower in
the tree to be accessed.
ProtectHome=tmpfs may now be used to hide user home and runtime
directories from units, in a way that is mostly equivalent to
"TemporaryFileSystem=/home /run/user /root".
* Non-service units are now started with KeyringMode=shared by default.
This means that mount and swapon and other mount tools have access
to keys in the main keyring.
* /sys/fs/bpf is now mounted automatically.
* QNX virtualization is now detected by systemd-detect-virt and may
be used in ConditionVirtualization=.
* IPAccounting= may now be enabled also for slice units.
* A new -Dsplit-bin= build configuration switch may be used to specify
whether bin and sbin directories are merged, or if they should be
included separately in $PATH and various listings of executable
directories. The build configuration scripts will try to autodetect
the proper values of -Dsplit-usr= and -Dsplit-bin= based on build
system, but distributions are encouraged to configure this
explicitly.
* A new -Dok-color= build configuration switch may be used to change
the colour of "OK" status messages.
* UPGRADE ISSUE: serialization of units using JoinsNamespaceOf= with
PrivateNetwork=yes was buggy in previous versions of systemd. This
means that after the upgrade and daemon-reexec, any such units must
be restarted.
* INCOMPATIBILITY: as announced in the NEWS for 237, systemd-tmpfiles
will not exclude read-only files owned by root from cleanup.

CHANGES WITH 237:
* Some keyboards come with a zoom see-saw or rocker which until now got
mapped to the Linux "zoomin/out" keys in hwdb. However, these
keycodes are not recognized by any major desktop. They now produce
Up/Down key events so that they can be used for scrolling.
* INCOMPATIBILITY: systemd-tmpfiles' "f" lines changed behaviour
slightly: previously, if an argument was specified for lines of this
type (i.e. the right-most column was set) this string was appended to
existing files each time systemd-tmpfiles was run. This behaviour was
different from what the documentation said, and not particularly
useful, as repeated systemd-tmpfiles invocations would not be
idempotent and grow such files without bounds. With this release
behaviour has been altered slightly, to match what the documentation
says: lines of this type only have an effect if the indicated files
don't exist yet, and only then the argument string is written to the
file.
* FUTURE INCOMPATIBILITY: In systemd v238 we intend to slightly change
systemd-tmpfiles behaviour: previously, read-only files owned by root
were always excluded from the file "aging" algorithm (i.e. the
automatic clean-up of directories like /tmp based on
atime/mtime/ctime). We intend to drop this restriction, and age files
by default even when owned by root and read-only. This behaviour was
inherited from older tools, but there have been requests to remove
it, and it's not obvious why this restriction was made in the first
place. Please speak up now, if you are aware of software that reqires
this behaviour, otherwise we'll remove the restriction in v238.
* A new environment variable $SYSTEMD_OFFLINE is now understood by
systemctl. It takes a boolean argument. If on, systemctl assumes it
operates on an "offline" OS tree, and will not attempt to talk to the
service manager. Previously, this mode was implicitly enabled if a
chroot() environment was detected, and this new environment variable
now provides explicit control.
* .path and .socket units may now be created transiently, too.
Previously only service, mount, automount and timer units were
supported as transient units. The systemd-run tool has been updated
to expose this new functionality, you may hence use it now to bind
arbitrary commands to path or socket activation on-the-fly from the
command line. Moreover, almost all properties are now exposed for the
unit types that already supported transient operation.
* The systemd-mount command gained support for a new --owner= parameter
which takes a user name, which is then resolved and included in uid=
and gid= mount options string of the file system to mount.
* A new unit condition ConditionControlGroupController= has been added
that checks whether a specific cgroup controller is available.
* Unit files, udev's .link files, and systemd-networkd's .netdev and
.network files all gained support for a new condition
ConditionKernelVersion= for checking against specific kernel
versions.
* In systemd-networkd, the [IPVLAN] section in .netdev files gained
support for configuring device flags in the Flags= setting. In the
same files, the [Tunnel] section gained support for configuring
AllowLocalRemote=. The [Route] section in .network files gained
support for configuring InitialCongestionWindow=,
InitialAdvertisedReceiveWindow= and QuickAck=. The [DHCP] section now
understands RapidCommit=.
* systemd-networkd's DHCPv6 support gained support for Prefix
Delegation.
* sd-bus gained support for a new "watch-bind" feature. When this
feature is enabled, an sd_bus connection may be set up to connect to
an AF_UNIX socket in the file system as soon as it is created. This
functionality is useful for writing early-boot services that
automatically connect to the system bus as soon as it is started,
without ugly time-based polling. systemd-networkd and
systemd-resolved have been updated to make use of this
functionality. busctl exposes this functionality in a new
--watch-bind= command line switch.
* sd-bus will now optionally synthesize a local "Connected" signal as
soon as a D-Bus connection is set up fully. This message mirrors the
already existing "Disconnected" signal which is synthesized when the
connection is terminated. This signal is generally useful but
particularly handy in combination with the "watch-bind" feature
described above. Synthesizing of this message has to be requested
explicitly through the new API call sd_bus_set_connected_signal(). In
addition a new call sd_bus_is_ready() has been added that checks
whether a connection is fully set up (i.e. between the "Connected" and
"Disconnected" signals).
* sd-bus gained two new calls sd_bus_request_name_async() and
sd_bus_release_name_async() for asynchronously registering bus
names. Similar, there is now sd_bus_add_match_async() for installing
a signal match asynchronously. All of systemd's own services have
been updated to make use of these calls. Doing these operations
asynchronously has two benefits: it reduces the risk of deadlocks in
case of cyclic dependencies between bus services, and it speeds up
service initialization since synchronization points for bus
round-trips are removed.
* sd-bus gained two new calls sd_bus_match_signal() and
sd_bus_match_signal_async(), which are similar to sd_bus_add_match()
and sd_bus_add_match_async() but instead of taking a D-Bus match
string take match fields as normal function parameters.
* sd-bus gained two new calls sd_bus_set_sender() and
sd_bus_message_set_sender() for setting the sender name of outgoing
messages (either for all outgoing messages or for just one specific
one). These calls are only useful in direct connections as on
brokered connections the broker fills in the sender anyway,
overwriting whatever the client filled in.
* sd-event gained a new pseudo-handle that may be specified on all API
calls where an "sd_event*" object is expected: SD_EVENT_DEFAULT. When
used this refers to the default event loop object of the calling
thread. Note however that this does not implicitly allocate one —
which has to be done prior by using sd_event_default(). Similarly
sd-bus gained three new pseudo-handles SD_BUS_DEFAULT,
SD_BUS_DEFAULT_USER, SD_BUS_DEFAULT_SYSTEM that may be used to refer
to the default bus of the specified type of the calling thread. Here
too this does not implicitly allocate bus connection objects, this
has to be done prior with sd_bus_default() and friends.
* sd-event gained a new call pair
sd_event_source_{get|set}_io_fd_own(). This may be used to request
automatic closure of the file descriptor an IO event source watches
when the event source is destroyed.
* systemd-networkd gained support for natively configuring WireGuard
connections.
* In previous versions systemd synthesized user records both for the
"nobody" (UID 65534) and "root" (UID 0) users in nss-systemd and
internally. In order to simplify distribution-wide renames of the
"nobody" user (like it is planned in Fedora: nfsnobody → nobody), a
new transitional flag file has been added: if
/etc/systemd/dont-synthesize-nobody exists synthesizing of the 65534
user and group record within the systemd codebase is disabled.
* systemd-notify gained a new --uid= option for selecting the source
user/UID to use for notification messages sent to the service
manager.
* journalctl gained a new --grep= option to list only entries in which
the message matches a certain pattern. By default matching is case
insensitive if the pattern is lowercase, and case sensitive
otherwise. Option --case-sensitive=yes|no can be used to override
this an specify case sensitivity or case insensitivity.
* There's now a "systemd-analyze service-watchdogs" command for printing
the current state of the service runtime watchdog, and optionally
enabling or disabling the per-service watchdogs system-wide if given a
boolean argument (i.e. the concept you configure in WatchdogSec=), for
debugging purposes. There's also a kernel command line option
systemd.service_watchdogs= for controlling the same.
* Two new "log-level" and "log-target" options for systemd-analyze were
addded that merge the now deprecated get-log-level, set-log-level and
get-log-target, set-log-target pairs. The deprecated options are still
understood for backwards compatibility. The two new options print the
current value when no arguments are given, and set them when a
level/target is given as an argument.
* sysusers.d's "u" lines now optionally accept both a UID and a GID
specification, separated by a ":" character, in order to create users
where UID and GID do not match.

CHANGES WITH 236:
* The modprobe.d/ drop-in for the bonding.ko kernel module introduced
in v235 has been extended to also set the dummy.ko module option
numdummies=0, preventing the kernel from automatically creating
dummy0. All dummy interfaces must now be explicitly created.
* Unknown '%' specifiers in configuration files are now rejected. This
applies to units and tmpfiles.d configuration. Any percent characters
that are followed by a letter or digit that are not supposed to be
interpreted as the beginning of a specifier should be escaped by
doubling ("%%"). (So "size=5%" is still accepted, as well as
"size=5%,foo=bar", but not "LABEL=x%y%z" since %y and %z are not
valid specifiers today.)
* systemd-resolved now maintains a new dynamic
/run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf compatibility file. It is
recommended to make /etc/resolv.conf a symlink to it. This file
points at the systemd-resolved stub DNS 127.0.0.53 resolver and
includes dynamically acquired search domains, achieving more correct
DNS resolution by software that bypasses local DNS APIs such as NSS.
* The "uaccess" udev tag has been dropped from /dev/kvm and
/dev/dri/renderD*. These devices now have the 0666 permissions by
default (but this may be changed at build-time). /dev/dri/renderD*
will now be owned by the "render" group along with /dev/kfd.
* "DynamicUser=yes" has been enabled for systemd-timesyncd.service,
systemd-journal-gatewayd.service and
systemd-journal-upload.service. This means "nss-systemd" must be
enabled in /etc/nsswitch.conf to ensure the UIDs assigned to these
services are resolved properly.
* In /etc/fstab two new mount options are now understood:
x-systemd.makefs and x-systemd.growfs. The former has the effect that
the configured file system is formatted before it is mounted, the
latter that the file system is resized to the full block device size
after it is mounted (i.e. if the file system is smaller than the
partition it resides on, it's grown). This is similar to the fsck
logic in /etc/fstab, and pulls in [email protected] and
[email protected] as necessary, similar to
[email protected]. Resizing is currently only supported on ext4
and btrfs.
* In systemd-networkd, the IPv6 RA logic now optionally may announce
DNS server and domain information.
* Support for the LUKS2 on-disk format for encrypted partitions has
been added. This requires libcryptsetup2 during compilation and
runtime.
* The systemd --user instance will now signal "readiness" when its
basic.target unit has been reached, instead of when the run queue ran
empty for the first time.
* Tmpfiles.d with user configuration are now also supported.
systemd-tmpfiles gained a new --user switch, and snippets placed in
~/.config/user-tmpfiles.d/ and corresponding directories will be
executed by systemd-tmpfiles --user running in the new
systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service and systemd-tmpfiles-clean.service
running in the user session.
* Unit files and tmpfiles.d snippets learnt three new % specifiers:
%S resolves to the top-level state directory (/var/lib for the system
instance, $XDG_CONFIG_HOME for the user instance), %C resolves to the
top-level cache directory (/var/cache for the system instance,
$XDG_CACHE_HOME for the user instance), %L resolves to the top-level
logs directory (/var/log for the system instance,
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/log/ for the user instance). This matches the
existing %t specifier, that resolves to the top-level runtime
directory (/run for the system instance, and $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR for the
user instance).
* journalctl learnt a new parameter --output-fields= for limiting the
set of journal fields to output in verbose and JSON output modes.
* systemd-timesyncd's configuration file gained a new option
RootDistanceMaxSec= for setting the maximum root distance of servers
it'll use, as well as the new options PollIntervalMinSec= and
PollIntervalMaxSec= to tweak the minimum and maximum poll interval.
* bootctl gained a new command "list" for listing all available boot
menu items on systems that follow the boot loader specification.
* systemctl gained a new --dry-run switch that shows what would be done
instead of doing it, and is currently supported by the shutdown and
sleep verbs.
* ConditionSecurity= can now detect the TOMOYO security module.
* Unit file [Install] sections are now also respected in unit drop-in
files. This is intended to be used by drop-ins under /usr/lib/.
* systemd-firstboot may now also set the initial keyboard mapping.
* Udev "changed" events for devices which are exposed as systemd
.device units are now propagated to units specified in
ReloadPropagatedFrom= as reload requests.
* If a udev device has a SYSTEMD_WANTS= property containing a systemd
unit template name (i.e. a name in the form of '[email protected]',
without the instance component between the '@' and - the '.'), then
the escaped sysfs path of the device is automatically used as the
instance.
* SystemCallFilter= in unit files has been extended so that an "errno"
can be specified individually for each system call. Example:
SystemCallFilter=~uname:EILSEQ.
* The cgroup delegation logic has been substantially updated. Delegate=
now optionally takes a list of controllers (instead of a boolean, as
before), which lists the controllers to delegate at least.
* The networkd DHCPv6 client now implements the FQDN option (RFC 4704).
* A new LogLevelMax= setting configures the maximum log level any
process of the service may log at (i.e. anything with a lesser
priority than what is specified is automatically dropped). A new
LogExtraFields= setting allows configuration of additional journal
fields to attach to all log records generated by any of the unit's
processes.
* New StandardInputData= and StandardInputText= settings along with the
new option StandardInput=data may be used to configure textual or
binary data that shall be passed to the executed service process via
standard input, encoded in-line in the unit file.
* StandardInput=, StandardOutput= and StandardError= may now be used to
connect stdin/stdout/stderr of executed processes directly with a
file or AF_UNIX socket in the file system, using the new "file:" option.
* A new unit file option CollectMode= has been added, that allows
tweaking the garbage collection logic for units. It may be used to
tell systemd to garbage collect units that have failed automatically
(normally it only GCs units that exited successfully). systemd-run
and systemd-mount expose this new functionality with a new -G option.
* "machinectl bind" may now be used to bind mount non-directories
(i.e. regularfiles, devices, fifos, sockets).
* systemd-analyze gained a new verb "calendar" for validating and
testing calendar time specifications to use for OnCalendar= in timer
units. Besides validating the expression it will calculate the next
time the specified expression would elapse.
* In addition to the pre-existing FailureAction= unit file setting
there's now SuccessAction=, for configuring a shutdown action to
execute when a unit completes successfully. This is useful in
particular inside containers that shall terminate after some workload
has been completed. Also, both options are now supported for all unit
types, not just services.
* networkds's IP rule support gained two new options
IncomingInterface= and OutgoingInterface= for configuring the incoming
and outgoing interfaces of configured rules. systemd-networkd also
gained support for "vxcan" network devices.
* networkd gained a new setting RequiredForOnline=, taking a
boolean. If set, systemd-wait-online will take it into consideration
when determining that the system is up, otherwise it will ignore the
interface for this purpose.
* The sd_notify() protocol gained support for a new operation: with
FDSTOREREMOVE=1 file descriptors may be removed from the per-service
store again, ahead of POLLHUP or POLLERR when they are removed
anyway.
* A new document doc/UIDS-GIDS.md has been added to the source tree,
that documents the UID/GID range and assignment assumptions and
requirements of systemd.
* The watchdog device PID 1 will ping may now be configured through the
WatchdogDevice= configuration file setting, or by setting the
systemd.watchdog_service= kernel commandline option.
* systemd-resolved's gained support for registering DNS-SD services on
the local network using MulticastDNS. Services may either be
registered by dropping in a .dnssd file in /etc/systemd/dnssd/ (or
the same dir below /run, /usr/lib), or through its D-Bus API.
* The sd_notify() protocol can now with EXTEND_TIMEOUT_USEC=microsecond
extend the effective start, runtime, and stop time. The service must
continue to send EXTEND_TIMEOUT_USEC within the period specified to
prevent the service manager from making the service as timedout.
* systemd-resolved's DNSSEC support gained support for RFC 8080
(Ed25519 keys and signatures).
* The systemd-resolve command line tool gained a new set of options
--set-dns=, --set-domain=, --set-llmnr=, --set-mdns=, --set-dnssec=,
--set-nta= and --revert to configure per-interface DNS configuration
dynamically during runtime. It's useful for pushing DNS information
into systemd-resolved from DNS hook scripts that various interface
managing software supports (such as pppd).
* systemd-nspawn gained a new --network-namespace-path= command line
option, which may be used to make a container join an existing
network namespace, by specifying a path to a "netns" file.

CHANGES WITH 235:
* INCOMPATIBILITY: systemd-logind.service and other long-running
services now run inside an IPv4/IPv6 sandbox, prohibiting them any IP
communication with the outside. This generally improves security of
the system, and is in almost all cases a safe and good choice, as
these services do not and should not provide any network-facing
functionality. However, systemd-logind uses the glibc NSS API to
query the user database. This creates problems on systems where NSS
is set up to directly consult network services for user database
lookups. In particular, this creates incompatibilities with the
"nss-nis" module, which attempts to directly contact the NIS/YP
network servers it is configured for, and will now consistently
fail. In such cases, it is possible to turn off IP sandboxing for
systemd-logind.service (set IPAddressDeny= in its [Service] section
to the empty string, via a .d/ unit file drop-in). Downstream
distributions might want to update their nss-nis packaging to include
such a drop-in snippet, accordingly, to hide this incompatibility
from the user. Another option is to make use of glibc's nscd service
to proxy such network requests through a privilege-separated, minimal
local caching daemon, or to switch to more modern technologies such
sssd, whose NSS hook-ups generally do not involve direct network
access. In general, we think it's definitely time to question the
implementation choices of nss-nis, i.e. whether it's a good idea
today to embed a network-facing loadable module into all local
processes that need to query the user database, including the most
trivial and benign ones, such as "ls". For more details about
IPAddressDeny= see below.
* A new modprobe.d drop-in is now shipped by default that sets the
bonding module option max_bonds=0. This overrides the kernel default,
to avoid conflicts and ambiguity as to whether or not bond0 should be
managed by systemd-networkd or not. This resolves multiple issues
with bond0 properties not being applied, when bond0 is configured
with systemd-networkd. Distributors may choose to not package this,
however in that case users will be prevented from correctly managing
bond0 interface using systemd-networkd.
* systemd-analyze gained new verbs "get-log-level" and "get-log-target"
which print the logging level and target of the system manager. They
complement the existing "set-log-level" and "set-log-target" verbs
used to change those values.
* journald.conf gained a new boolean setting ReadKMsg= which defaults
to on. If turned off kernel log messages will not be read by
systemd-journald or included in the logs. It also gained a new
setting LineMax= for configuring the maximum line length in
STDOUT/STDERR log streams. The new default for this value is 48K, up
from the previous hardcoded 2048.
* A new unit setting RuntimeDirectoryPreserve= has been added, which
allows more detailed control of what to do with a runtime directory
configured with RuntimeDirectory= (i.e. a directory below /run or
$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR) after a unit is stopped.
* The RuntimeDirectory= setting for units gained support for creating
deeper subdirectories below /run or $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR, instead of just
one top-level directory.
* Units gained new options StateDirectory=, CacheDirectory=,
LogsDirectory= and ConfigurationDirectory= which are closely related
to RuntimeDirectory= but manage per-service directories below
/var/lib, /var/cache, /var/log and /etc. By making use of them it is
possible to write unit files which when activated automatically gain
properly owned service specific directories in these locations, thus
making unit files self-contained and increasing compatibility with
stateless systems and factory reset where /etc or /var are
unpopulated at boot. Matching these new settings there's also
StateDirectoryMode=, CacheDirectoryMode=, LogsDirectoryMode=,
ConfigurationDirectoryMode= for configuring the access mode of these
directories. These settings are particularly useful in combination
with DynamicUser=yes as they provide secure, properly-owned,
writable, and stateful locations for storage, excluded from the
sandbox that such services live in otherwise.
* Automake support has been removed from this release. systemd is now
Meson-only.
* systemd-journald will now aggressively cache client metadata during
runtime, speeding up log write performance under pressure. This comes
at a small price though: as much of the metadata is read
asynchronously from /proc/ (and isn't implicitly attached to log
datagrams by the kernel, like UID/GID/PID/SELinux are) this means the
metadata stored alongside a log entry might be slightly
out-of-date. Previously it could only be slightly newer than the log
message. The time window is small however, and given that the kernel
is unlikely to be improved anytime soon in this regard, this appears
acceptable to us.
* nss-myhostname/systemd-resolved will now by default synthesize an
A/AAAA resource record for the "_gateway" hostname, pointing to the
current default IP gateway. Previously it did that for the "gateway"
name, hampering adoption, as some distributions wanted to leave that
host name open for local use. The old behaviour may still be
requested at build time.
* systemd-networkd's [Address] section in .network files gained a new
Scope= setting for configuring the IP address scope. The [Network]
section gained a new boolean setting ConfigureWithoutCarrier= that
tells systemd-networkd to ignore link sensing when configuring the
device. The [DHCP] section gained a new Anonymize= boolean option for
turning on a number of options suggested in RFC 7844. A new
[RoutingPolicyRule] section has been added for configuring the IP
routing policy. The [Route] section has gained support for a new
Type= setting which permits configuring
blackhole/unreachable/prohibit routes.
* The [VRF] section in .netdev files gained a new Table= setting for
configuring the routing table to use. The [Tunnel] section gained a
new Independent= boolean field for configuring tunnels independent of
an underlying network interface. The [Bridge] section gained a new
GroupForwardMask= option for configuration of propagation of link
local frames between bridge ports.
* The WakeOnLan= setting in .link files gained support for a number of
new modes. A new TCP6SegmentationOffload= setting has been added for
configuring TCP/IPv6 hardware segmentation offload.
* The IPv6 RA sender implementation may now optionally send out RDNSS
and RDNSSL records to supply DNS configuration to peers.
* systemd-nspawn gained support for a new --system-call-filter= command
line option for adding and removing entries in the default system
call filter it applies. Moreover systemd-nspawn has been changed to
implement a system call whitelist instead of a blacklist.
* systemd-run gained support for a new --pipe command line option. If
used the STDIN/STDOUT/STDERR file descriptors passed to systemd-run
are directly passed on to the activated transient service
executable. This allows invoking arbitrary processes as systemd
services (for example to take benefit of dependency management,
accounting management, resource management or log management that is
done automatically for services) — while still allowing them to be
integrated in a classic UNIX shell pipeline.
* When a service sends RELOAD=1 via sd_notify() and reload propagation
using ReloadPropagationTo= is configured, a reload is now propagated
to configured units. (Previously this was only done on explicitly
requested reloads, using "systemctl reload" or an equivalent
command.)
* For each service unit a restart counter is now kept: it is increased
each time the service is restarted due to Restart=, and may be
queried using "systemctl show -p NRestarts …".
* New system call filter groups @aio, @sync, @chown, @setuid, @memlock,
@signal and @timer have been added, for usage with SystemCallFilter=
in unit files and the new --system-call-filter= command line option
of systemd-nspawn (see above).
* ExecStart= lines in unit files gained two new modifiers: when a
command line is prefixed with "!" the command will be executed as
configured, except for the credentials applied by
setuid()/setgid()/setgroups(). It is very similar to the pre-existing
"+", but does still apply namespacing options unlike "+". There's
also "!!" now, which is mostly identical, but becomes a NOP on
systems that support ambient capabilities. This is useful to write
unit files that work with ambient capabilities where possible but
automatically fall back to traditional privilege dropping mechanisms
on systems where this is not supported.
* ListenNetlink= settings in socket units now support RDMA netlink
sockets.
* A new unit file setting LockPersonality= has been added which permits
locking down the chosen execution domain ("personality") of a service
during runtime.
* A new special target "getty-pre.target" has been added, which is
ordered before all text logins, and may be used to order services
before textual logins acquire access to the console.
* systemd will now attempt to load the virtio-rng.ko kernel module very
early on if a VM environment supporting this is detected. This should
improve entropy during early boot in virtualized environments.
* A _netdev option is now supported in /etc/crypttab that operates in a
similar way as the same option in /etc/fstab: it permits configuring
encrypted devices that need to be ordered after the network is up.
Following this logic, two new special targets
remote-cryptsetup-pre.target and remote-cryptsetup.target have been
added that are to cryptsetup.target what remote-fs.target and
remote-fs-pre.target are to local-fs.target.
* Service units gained a new UnsetEnvironment= setting which permits
unsetting specific environment variables for services that are
normally passed to it (for example in order to mask out locale
settings for specific services that can't deal with it).
* Units acquired a new boolean option IPAccounting=. When turned on, IP
traffic accounting (packet count as well as byte count) is done for
the service, and shown as part of "systemctl status" or "systemd-run
--wait".
* Service units acquired two new options IPAddressAllow= and
IPAddressDeny=, taking a list of IPv4 or IPv6 addresses and masks,
for configuring a simple IP access control list for all sockets of
the unit. These options are available also on .slice and .socket
units, permitting flexible access list configuration for individual
services as well as groups of services (as defined by a slice unit),
including system-wide. Note that IP ACLs configured this way are
enforced on every single IPv4 and IPv6 socket created by any process
of the service unit, and apply to ingress as well as egress traffic.
* If CPUAccounting= or IPAccounting= is turned on for a unit a new
structured log message is generated each time the unit is stopped,
containing information about the consumed resources of this
invocation.
* A new setting KeyringMode= has been added to unit files, which may be
used to control how the kernel keyring is set up for executed
processes.
* "systemctl poweroff", "systemctl reboot", "systemctl halt",
"systemctl kexec" and "systemctl exit" are now always asynchronous in
behaviour (that is: these commands return immediately after the
operation was enqueued instead of waiting for the operation to
complete). Previously, "systemctl poweroff" and "systemctl reboot"
were asynchronous on systems using systemd-logind (i.e. almost
always, and like they were on sysvinit), and the other three commands
were unconditionally synchronous. With this release this is cleaned
up, and callers will see the same asynchronous behaviour on all
systems for all five operations.
* systemd-logind gained new Halt() and CanHalt() bus calls for halting
the system.
* .timer units now accept calendar specifications in other timezones
than UTC or the local timezone.
* The tmpfiles snippet var.conf has been changed to create
/var/log/btmp with access mode 0660 instead of 0600. It was owned by
the "utmp" group already, and it appears to be generally understood
that members of "utmp" can modify/flush the utmp/wtmp/lastlog/btmp
databases. Previously this was implemented correctly for all these
databases excepts btmp, which has been opened up like this now
too. Note that while the other databases are world-readable
(i.e. 0644), btmp is not and remains more restrictive.
* The systemd-resolve tool gained a new --reset-server-features
switch. When invoked like this systemd-resolved will forget
everything it learnt about the features supported by the configured
upstream DNS servers, and restarts the feature probing logic on the
next resolver look-up for them at the highest feature level
again.
* The status dump systemd-resolved sends to the logs upon receiving
SIGUSR1 now also includes information about all DNS servers it is
configured to use, and the features levels it probed for them.

CHANGES WITH 234:
* Meson is now supported as build system in addition to Automake. It is
our plan to remove Automake in one of our next releases, so that
Meson becomes our exclusive build system. Hence, please start using
the Meson build system in your downstream packaging. There's plenty
of documentation around how to use Meson, the extremely brief
summary:
./autogen.sh && ./configure && make && sudo make install
becomes:
meson build && ninja -C build && sudo ninja -C build install
* Unit files gained support for a new JobRunningTimeoutUSec= setting,
which permits configuring a timeout on the time a job is
running. This is particularly useful for setting timeouts on jobs for
.device units.
* Unit files gained two new options ConditionUser= and ConditionGroup=
for conditionalizing units based on the identity of the user/group
running a systemd user instance.
* systemd-networkd now understands a new FlowLabel= setting in the
[VXLAN] section of .network files, as well as a Priority= in
[Bridge], GVRP= + MVRP= + LooseBinding= + ReorderHeader= in [VLAN]
and GatewayOnlink= + IPv6Preference= + Protocol= in [Route]. It also
gained support for configuration of GENEVE links, and IPv6 address
labels. The [Network] section gained the new IPv6ProxyNDP= setting.
* .link files now understand a new Port= setting.
* systemd-networkd's DHCP support gained support for DHCP option 119
(domain search list).
* systemd-networkd gained support for serving IPv6 address ranges using
the Router Advertisment protocol. The new .network configuration
section [IPv6Prefix] may be used to configure the ranges to
serve. This is implemented based on a new, minimal, native server
implementation of RA.
* journalctl's --output= switch gained support for a new parameter
"short-iso-precise" for a mode where timestamps are shown as precise
ISO date values.
* systemd-udevd's "net_id" builtin may now generate stable network
interface names from IBM PowerVM VIO devices as well as ACPI platform
devices.
* MulticastDNS support in systemd-resolved may now be explicitly
enabled/disabled using the new MulticastDNS= configuration file
option.
* systemd-resolved may now optionally use libidn2 instead of the libidn
for processing internationalized domain names. Support for libidn2
should be considered experimental and should not be enabled by
default yet.
* "machinectl pull-tar" and related call may now do verification of
downloaded images using SUSE-style .sha256 checksum files in addition
to the already existing support for validating using Ubuntu-style
SHA256SUMS files.
* sd-bus gained support for a new sd_bus_message_appendv() call which
is va_list equivalent of sd_bus_message_append().
* sd-boot gained support for validating images using SHIM/MOK.
* The SMACK code learnt support for "onlycap".
* systemd-mount --umount is now much smarter in figuring out how to
properly unmount a device given its mount or device path.
* The code to call libnss_dns as a fallback from libnss_resolve when
the communication with systemd-resolved fails was removed. This
fallback was redundant and interfered with the [!UNAVAIL=return]
suffix. See nss-resolve(8) for the recommended configuration.
* systemd-logind may now be restarted without losing state. It stores
the file descriptors for devices it manages in the system manager
using the FDSTORE= mechanism. Please note that further changes in
other components may be required to make use of this (for example
Xorg has code to listen for stops of systemd-logind and terminate
itself when logind is stopped or restarted, in order to avoid using
stale file descriptors for graphical devices, which is now
counterproductive and must be reverted in order for restarts of
systemd-logind to be safe. See
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/?id=dc48bd653c7e101.)
* All kernel install plugins are called with the environment variable
KERNEL_INSTALL_MACHINE_ID which is set to the machine ID given by
/etc/machine-id. If the file is missing or empty, the variable is
empty and BOOT_DIR_ABS is the path of a temporary directory which is
removed after all the plugins exit. So, if KERNEL_INSTALL_MACHINE_ID
is empty, all plugins should not put anything in BOOT_DIR_ABS.

CHANGES WITH 233:
* The "hybrid" control group mode has been modified to improve
compatibility with "legacy" cgroups-v1 setups. Specifically, the
"hybrid" setup of /sys/fs/cgroup is now pretty much identical to
"legacy" (including /sys/fs/cgroup/systemd as "name=systemd" named
cgroups-v1 hierarchy), the only externally visible change being that
the cgroups-v2 hierarchy is also mounted, to
/sys/fs/cgroup/unified. This should provide a large degree of
compatibility with "legacy" cgroups-v1, while taking benefit of the
better management capabilities of cgroups-v2.
* The default control group setup mode may be selected both a boot-time
via a set of kernel command line parameters (specifically:
systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy= and
