[systemd-devel] [ANNOUNCE] systemd 31

[Lennart Poettering]

Heya,

http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/systemd-31.tar.bz2

another release with a number of new features. The coming releases will
probably be a bit quieter.

Bigger changes:

- sd-daemon.c is now available as shared library. The code is quite
  stable now, so it's time to make this a proper .so.

- there's also a small library to access login data, about users,
  sessions, seats without involving the bus. It's quite small and lean
  and is useful as fastpath for apps that just need seat/session/user
  information, and can do enumeration and monitoring with you. However,
  all calls that do more than just pass back information need to be done
  via the bus, to ensure proper involvement of the dbus policy and
  pk. This is primarily intended to make certain calls cheap to do.

- A rewrite of the enable/disable code is now in place. This adds a
  number of features, like "systemctl --runtime", "systemctl mask" (and
  unmask), "systemctl link", and presets. These calls are also available
  now via the bus, so that UIs have a proper API to enable/disable
  units.

- We profile SELinux policy loading on boot now, to raise the pressure
  to get this sped up a bit.

- Newly generated /etc/machine-id will now qualify as v4 UUIDs (if
  reformatted appropriately). See man page for more information.

- network sysctls are now applied when new network devices appear. You
  hence may configure sysctls in /etc/sysctl.d/ and be sure they are
  applied at the right time.
