systemd System and Service Manager
+CHANGES WITH 223:
+
+ * The python-systemd code has been removed from the systemd repository.
+ A new repository has been created which accommodates the code from
+ now on, and we kindly ask distributions to create a separate package
+ for this: https://github.com/systemd/python-systemd
+
+ * The systemd daemon will now reload its main configuration
+ (/etc/systemd/system.conf) on daemon-reload.
+
+ * sd-dhcp now exposes vendor specific extensions via
+ sd_dhcp_lease_get_vendor_specific().
+
+ * systemd-networkd gained a number of new configuration options.
+
+ - A new boolean configuration option for TAP devices called
+ 'VNetHeader='. If set, the IFF_VNET_HDR flag is set for the
+ device, thus allowing to send and receive GSO packets.
+
+ - A new tunnel configuration option called 'CopyDSCP='.
+ If enabled, the DSCP field of ip6 tunnels is copied into the
+ decapsulated packet.
+
+ - A set of boolean bridge configuration options were added.
+ 'UseBPDU=', 'HairPin=', 'FastLeave=', 'AllowPortToBeRoot=',
+ and 'UnicastFlood=' are now parsed by networkd and applied to the
+ respective bridge link device via the respective IFLA_BRPORT_*
+ netlink attribute.
+
+ - A new string configuration option to override the hostname sent
+ to a DHCP server, called 'Hostname='. If set and 'SendHostname='
+ is true, networkd will use the configured hostname instead of the
+ system hostname when sending DHCP requests.
+
+ - A new tunnel configuration option called 'IPv6FlowLabel='. If set,
+ networkd will configure the IPv6 flow-label of the tunnel device
+ according to RFC2460.
+
+ - The 'macvtap' virtual network devices are now supported, similar to
+ the already supported 'macvlan' devices.
+
+ * systemd-resolved now implements RFC5452 to improve resilience against
+ cache poisoning. Additionally, source port randomization is enabled
+ by default to further protect against DNS spoofing attacks.
+
+ * nss-mymachines now supports translating UIDs and GIDs of running
+ containers with user-namespaces enabled. If a container 'foo'
+ translates a host uid 'UID' to the container uid 'TUID', then
+ nss-mymachines will also map uid 'UID' to/from username 'vu-foo-TUID'
+ (with 'foo' and 'TUID' replaced accordingly). Similarly, groups are
+ mapped as 'vg-foo-TGID'.
