[systemd-devel] [ANNOUNCE] systemd v221

[Michael Biebl]

All this talk about getting downstream patches upstream and then last
minute reverts without a proper justitification. WTF.

>> Heya!
>>
>> 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
>> follow shortly.)
>>
>>     http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/systemd-221.tar.xz
>>
>> Reminder: Note again that the git repository and bug tracking moved to
>> github with this release. The new github page is this:
>>
>>     https://github.com/systemd/systemd
>>
>> 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:
>>
>>     https://github.com/systemd/systemd.git
>>
>> 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.
