[systemd-devel] [ANNOUNCE] systemd 8

[Lennart Poettering]

Heya!

http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/systemd-8.tar.bz2

This contains a lot of bug fixes, a handful of new features and a
couple of incompatible changes against previous versions:

- We now mount the cgroup hierachy beneath /sys/fs/cgroup -- this mount
  point only exists in the current git kernels. If you want to use
  systemd on released kernels you need to apply one patch:

  http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=676db4af043014e852f67ba0349dae0071bd11f3

- We renamed a handful of options:

  ValidNoProcess= became RemainAfterExit=
  Type=finish became Type=oneshot
  OnlyByDependency= became RefuseManualStart=

- This release will by default mount all file systems mentioned in fstab
  as "auto". You probably want to disable this if you want to continue
  to use your traditional boot scripts to do this just. For that simply
  set MountAuto=no and SwapAuto=no in /etc/systemd/system.conf.

Have fun,

Lennart

      units: make sure getty at xxx.service is always run before gettys.target
