systemd System and Service Manager
+CHANGES WITH 196:
+
+ * udev gained support for loading additional device properties
+ from an indexed database that is keyed by vendor/product IDs
+ and similar device identifiers. For the beginning this
+ "hwdb" is populated with data from the well-known PCI and
+ USB database, but also includes PNP, ACPI and OID data. In
+ the longer run this indexed database shall grow into
+ becoming the one central database for non-essential
+ userspace device metadata. Previously, data from the PCI/USB
+ database was only attached to the select devices, since the
+ lookup was a relatively expensive operation due to O(n) time
+ complexity. Since this is now O(log(n)), we decided to add
+ in this data for all devices where this is available, by
+ default. Note that the indexed database needs to be rebuilt
+ when new data files are installed. To achieve this you need
+ to update your packaging scripts to invoke "udevadm hwdb
+ --update" after installation of hwdb data files. For
+ RPM-based distributions we introduced the new
+ %udev_hwdb_update macro for this purpose.
+
+ * The Journal gained support for the "Message Catalog", an
+ indexed database to link up additional information with
+ journal entries. For further details please check:
+
+ http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/catalog
+
+ The indexed message catalog database also needs to be
+ rebuilt after installation of message catalog files. Use
+ "journalctl --update-catalog" for this. For RPM-based
+ distributions we introduced the %journal_catalog_update
+ macro for this purpose.
+
+ * The Python Journal bindings gained support for the standard
+ Python logging framework.
+
+ * The Journal API gained new functions for checking whether
+ the underlying file system of a journal file is capable of
+ properly reporting file change notifications, or whether
+ applications that want to reflect journal changes "live"
+ need to recheck journal files continously in appropriate
+ time intervals.
+
+ * It is now possible to set the "age" field for tmpfiles
+ entries to 0, indicating that files matching this entry
+ shall always be removed when the directories are cleaned up.
+
+ * coredumpctl gained a new "gdb" verb which invokes gdb
+ right-away on the selected coredump.
+
+ * There's now support for "hybrid sleep" on kernels that
+ support this, in addition to "suspend" and "hibernate". Use
+ "systemctl hybrid-sleep" to make use of this.
+
+ * logind's HandleSuspendKey= setting (and related settings)
+ now gained support for a new "lock" setting to simply
+ request the screen lock on all local sessions, instead of
+ actually executing a suspend or hibernation.
+
+ * systemd will now mount the EFI variables file system by
+ default.
+
+ * Socket units now gained support for configuration of the
+ SMACK security label.
+
+ * timedatectl will now output the time of the last and next
+ daylight saving change.
+
+ * We dropped support for various legacy and distro-specific
+ concepts, such as insserv, early-boot SysV services
+ (i.e. those for non-standard runlevels such as 'b' or 'S')
+ or ArchLinux /etc/rc.conf support. We recommend the
+ distributions who still need support this to either continue
+ to maintain the necessary patches downstream, or find a
+ different solution. (Talk to us if you have questions!)
+
+ * Various systemd components will now bypass PolicyKit checks
+ for root and otherwise handle properly if PolicyKit is not
+ found to be around. This should fix most issues for
+ PolicyKit-less systems. Quite frankly this should have been
+ this way since day one. It is absolutely our intention to
+ make systemd work fine on PolicyKit-less systems, and we
+ consider it a bug if something doesn't work as it should if
+ PolicyKit is not around.
+
+ * For embedded systems it is now possible to build udev and
+ systemd without blkid and/or kmod support.
+
+ * "systemctl switch-root" is now capable of switching root
+ more than once. I.e. in addition to transitions from the
+ initrd to the host OS it is now possible to transition to
+ further OS images from the host. This is useful to implement
+ offline updating tools.
+
+ * Various other additions have been made to the RPM macros
+ shipped with systemd. Use %udev_rules_update() after
+ installing new udev rules files. %_udevhwdbdir,
+ %_udevrulesdir, %_journalcatalogdir, %_tmpfilesdir,
+ %_sysctldir are now available which resolve to the right
+ directories for packages to place various data files in.
+
+ * journalctl gained the new --full switch (in addition to
+ --all, to disable ellipsation for long messages.
