[systemd-devel] [ANNOUNCE] systemd v30

[Lennart Poettering]

Heya,

http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/systemd-30.tar.bz2

This is a bigger new release, including a lot of fresh code. If you are
looking for utmost stability you should continue to work with 29 for a
while.

Bigger changes include:

- There's a tiny mechanism daemon to allow system locale changes, for
  usage by GNOME and other DEs, see
  http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/localed for more
  information on the API

- Similar, there's another one for time changes. Docs in the wiki on
  this iface will be available shortly. 

- There's now a simple login daemon available ("systemd-logind") and
  installed by default. It takes over a lot of the logic of pam_systemd
  (which is now a small stub only, talking to logind, which makes it a
  lot more robust) as well as ConsoleKit and udev-acl. It keeps tracks
  of user sessions and seats. There's a tool "systemd-loginctl" which you can
  use to introspect the state of it, and manipulate users, sessions and
  seats.

- Due to logind we'll now autospawn VT gettys only when needed, not all
  the time. This means we normally boot up with zero gettys. (As mentioned
  previously)

- Multi-seat support is pretty comprehensively available now. X11 and
  gdm have not been ported to it yet. Documentation about the multi-seat
  logic will show up in the wiki shortly, too.

- If used in conjunction with dracut we will now jump back into the
  initrd on shutdown. Dracut will then unmount the root file system,
  detach all storage devices it was mounted on and
  power off. This is something long missing on Linux. This is only available in
  conjunction with dracut. If your OS is still using another initrd
  implementation, this might be killer feature that might be the reason
  to switch?

- we support translations for the PK policy files now. i18n for the
  client tool might be added later.

Neither hostnamed, nor logind/pam_systemd, nor localed, nor timedated
are necessary on most embedded setups. I'd be happy to merge a patch
that makes them individually disabable.
