[systemd-devel] [ANNOUNCE] systemd v221

[Michael Biebl]

I'm very disappointed (once again) how this release was handled.
Lot's of last minute changes. Especially
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/293
really sucks.

Not amused, not amused at all.

> It's primarily a bugfix release, but we also make sd-bus.h and
> sd-event.h public. (A blog story on sd-bus and how to use it will

> Reminder: Note again that the git repository and bug tracking moved to

> Reporting bugs via the fdo bugzilla is closed now. Changes to existing
> bugs can still be made, and discussion should continue there, but no
> new ones may be filed. We will not migrate individual bug reports from
> fdo to github. File new bugs as github issues, please.

> Please submit new patches preferable as github PRs now, however we
> will continue to accept patches via the ML, too.

> If you have a git checkout, don't forget to migrate to the new github
> GIT repository as origin:

> The fdo git repo still exists though and is sporadically synced from
> the github repository.

> CHANGES WITH 221:
>
>         * The sd-bus.h and sd-event.h APIs have now been declared
>           stable and have been added to the official interface of
>           libsystemd.so. sd-bus implements an alternative D-Bus client
>           library, that is relatively easy to use, very efficient and
>           supports both classic D-Bus as well as kdbus as transport
>           backend. sd-event is a generic event loop abstraction that
>           is built around Linux epoll, but adds features such as event
>           prioritization or efficient timer handling. Both APIs are good
>           choices for C programs looking for a bus and/or event loop
>           implementation that is minimal and does not have to be
>           portable to other kernels.
>
>         * kdbus support is no longer compile-time optional. It is now
>           always built-in. However, it can still be disabled at
>           runtime using the kdbus=0 kernel command line setting, and
>           that setting may be changed to default to off, by specifying
>           --disable-kdbus at build-time. Note though that the kernel
>           command line setting has no effect if the kdbus.ko kernel
>           module is not installed, in which case kdbus is (obviously)
>           also disabled. We encourage all downstream distributions to
>           begin testing kdbus by adding it to the kernel images in the
>           development distributions, and leaving kdbus support in
>           systemd enabled.
>
>         * The minimal required util-linux version has been bumped to
>           2.26.
>
>         * Support for chkconfig (--enable-chkconfig) was removed in
>           favor of calling an abstraction tool
>           /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install. This needs to be
>           implemented for your distribution. See "SYSV INIT.D SCRIPTS"
>           in README for details.
>
>         * If there's a systemd unit and a SysV init script for the
>           same service name, and the user executes "systemctl enable"
>           for it (or a related call), then this will now enable both
>           (or execute the related operation on both), not just the
>           unit.
>
>         * The libudev API documentation has been converted from gtkdoc
>           into man pages.
>
>         * gudev has been removed from the systemd tree, it is now an
>           external project.
>
>         * The systemd-cgtop tool learnt a new --raw switch to generate
>           "raw" (machine parsable) output.
>
>         * networkd's IPForwarding= .network file setting learnt the
>           new setting "kernel", which ensures that networkd does not
>           change the IP forwarding sysctl from the default kernel
>           state.
>
>         * The systemd-logind bus API now exposes a new boolean
>           property "Docked" that reports whether logind considers the
>           system "docked", i.e. connected to a docking station or not.
