[systemd-devel] [ANNOUNCE] systemd v38

[Lennart Poettering]

Hey,

http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/systemd-38.tar.xz

This is the first release with the journal. The journal replaces both
systemd-kmsg-syslogd and systemd-stdout-kmsg-bridge, thus simplifying
greatly our set of always-running services. The journal is quite
complete at this time, but a small number of bigger features are still
missing. Documentation is currently terse and will be extended in the
coming versions. If you want to see the effect of the journal, try
"systemctl status" which is now hooked up with the journal and will show
the most recent log output of a service.

Compatibility with classic syslog implementations is provided, via a
socket /run/systemd/journal/syslog, to which all messages are forwarded,
regardless whether they came in via /dev/log, the journal native
protocol or any other source. To make your syslog implementaiton work
with this make sure that it binds to that socket instead of /dev/log
which is now systemd-journal property.

Note that the journal will store log data only on /run/log/journal,
which makes it volatile. If a subdirectory /var/log/journal is created
the journal will instead store its data on /var, thus making the journal
persistant.

systemd-journalctl may be used to explore the journal. By default it
generates an output that is a pixel perfect copy of the usual
/var/log/messages log format. It can alternatively generate a couple of
differnt outputs, controllable with "-o verbose", "-o short-monotonic"
or "-o json". Use "-f" for something that resembles "tail -f".

This release is more kind of a test release, i.e. like you'd place it in
your distribution's equivalent of Rawhide, not the kind you'd update
your released distro with. We hope to stabilize things in the next
coming releases a bit.
