Heya, Yet another big release:
http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/systemd-186.tar.xz The changes: CHANGES WITH 186: * Several tools now understand kernel command line arguments, which are only read when run in an initial RAM disk. They usually follow closely their normal counterparts, but are prefixed with rd. * There's a new tool to analyze the readahead files that are automatically generated at boot. Use: /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-readahead analyze /.readahead * We now provide an early debug shell on tty9 if this enabled. Use: systemctl enable debug-shell.service * All plymouth related units have been moved into the Plymouth package. Please make sure to upgrade your Plymouth version as well. * systemd-tmpfiles now supports getting passed the basename of a configuration file only, in which case it will look for it in all appropriate directories automatically. * udevadm info now takes a /dev or /sys path as argument, and does the right thing. Example: udevadm info /dev/sda udevadm info /sys/class/block/sda * systemctl now prints a warning if a unit is stopped but a unit that might trigger it continues to run. Example: a service is stopped but the socket that activates it is left running. * "systemctl status" will now mention if the log output was shortened due to rotation since a service has been started. * The journal API now exposes functions to determine the "cutoff" times due to rotation. * journald now understands SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2 for triggering immediately flushing of runtime logs to /var if possible, resp. for triggering immediate rotation of the journal files. * It is now considered an error if a service is attempted to be stopped that is not loaded. * XDG_RUNTIME_DIR now uses numeric UIDs instead of usernames. * systemd-analyze now supports Python 3 * tmpfiles now supports cleaning up directories via aging where the first level dirs are always kept around but directories beneath it automatically aged. This is enabled by prefixing the age field with '~'. * Seat objects now expose CanGraphical, CanTTY properties which is required to deal with very fast bootups where the display manager might be running before the graphics drivers completed initialization. * Seat objects now expose a State property. * We now include RPM macros for service enabling/disabling based on the preset logic. We recommend RPM based distributions to make use of these macros if possible. This makes it simpler to reuse RPM spec files across distributions. * We now make sure that the collected systemd unit name is always valid when services log to the journal via STDOUT/STDERR. * There's a new man page kernel-command-line(7) detailing all command line options we understand. * The fstab generator may now be disabled at boot by passing fstab=0 on the kernel command line. * A new kernel command line option modules-load= is now understood to load a specific kernel module statically, early at boot. * Unit names specified on the systemctl command line are now automatically escaped as needed. Also, if file system or device paths are specified they are automatically turned into the appropriate mount or device unit names. Example: systemctl status /home systemctl status /dev/sda * The SysVConsole= configuration option has been removed from system.conf parsing. * The SysV search path is no longer exported on the D-Bus Manager object. * The Names= option is been removed from unit file parsing. * There's a new man page bootup(7) detailing the boot process. * Every unit and every generator we ship with systemd now comes with full documentation. The self-explanatory boot is complete. * A couple of services gained "systemd-" prefixes in their name if they wrap systemd code, rather than only external code. Among them [email protected] which is now [email protected]. * The HaveWatchdog property has been removed from the D-Bus Manager object. * systemd.confirm_spawn= on the kernel command line should now work sensibly. * There's a new man page crypttab(5) which details all options we actually understand. * systemd-nspawn gained a new --capability= switch to pass additional capabilities to the container. * timedated will now read known NTP implementation unit names from /usr/share/systemd/ntp-units.d/*.list, systemd-timedated-ntp.target has been removed. * journalctl gained a new switch "-b" that lists log data of the current boot only. * The notify socket is in the abstract namespace again, in order to support daemons which chroot() at start-up. * There is a new Storage= configuration option for journald which allows configuration of where log data should go. This also provides a way to disable journal logging entirely, so that data collected is only forwarded to the console, the kernel log buffer or another syslog implementation. * Many bugfixes and optimizations.
