systemd System and Service Manager
+CHANGES WITH 236:
+
+ * The modprobe.d/ drop-in for the bonding.ko kernel module introduced
+ in v235 has been extended to also set the dummy.ko module option
+ numdummies=0, preventing the kernel from automatically creating
+ dummy0. All dummy interfaces must now be explicitly created.
+
+ * Unknown '%' specifiers in configuration files are now rejected. This
+ applies to units and tmpfiles.d configuration. Any percent characters
+ that are followed by a letter or digit that are not supposed to be
+ interpreted as the beginning of a specifier should be escaped by
+ doubling ("%%"). (So "size=5%" is still accepted, as well as
+ "size=5%,foo=bar", but not "LABEL=x%y%z" since %y and %z are not
+ valid specifiers today.)
+
+ * systemd-resolved now maintains a new dynamic
+ /run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf compatibility file. It is
+ recommended to make /etc/resolv.conf a symlink to it. This file
+ points at the systemd-resolved stub DNS 127.0.0.53 resolver and
+ includes dynamically acquired search domains, achieving more correct
+ DNS resolution by software that bypasses local DNS APIs such as NSS.
+
+ * The "uaccess" udev tag has been dropped from /dev/kvm and
+ /dev/dri/renderD*. These devices now have the 0666 permissions by
+ default (but this may be changed at build-time). /dev/dri/renderD*
+ will now be owned by the "render" group along with /dev/kfd.
+
+ * "DynamicUser=yes" has been enabled for systemd-timesyncd.service,
+ systemd-journal-gatewayd.service and
+ systemd-journal-upload.service. This means "nss-systemd" must be
+ enabled in /etc/nsswitch.conf to ensure the UIDs assigned to these
+ services are resolved properly.
+
+ * In /etc/fstab two new mount options are now understood:
+ x-systemd.makefs and x-systemd.growfs. The former has the effect that
+ the configured file system is formatted before it is mounted, the
+ latter that the file system is resized to the full block device size
+ after it is mounted (i.e. if the file system is smaller than the
+ partition it resides on, it's grown). This is similar to the fsck
+ logic in /etc/fstab, and pulls in systemd-makefs@.service and
+ systemd-growfs@.service as necessary, similar to
+ systemd-fsck@.service. Resizing is currently only supported on ext4
+ and btrfs.
+
+ * In systemd-networkd, the IPv6 RA logic now optionally may announce
+ DNS server and domain information.
+
+ * Support for the LUKS2 on-disk format for encrypted partitions has
+ been added. This requires libcryptsetup2 during compilation and
+ runtime.
+
+ * The systemd --user instance will now signal "readiness" when its
+ basic.target unit has been reached, instead of when the run queue ran
+ empty for the first time.
+
+ * Tmpfiles.d with user configuration are now also supported.
+ systemd-tmpfiles gained a new --user switch, and snippets placed in
+ ~/.config/user-tmpfiles.d/ and corresponding directories will be
+ executed by systemd-tmpfiles --user running in the new
+ systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service and systemd-tmpfiles-clean.service
+ running in the user session.
+
+ * Unit files and tmpfiles.d snippets learnt three new % specifiers:
+ %S resolves to the top-level state directory (/var/lib for the system
+ instance, $XDG_CONFIG_HOME for the user instance), %C resolves to the
+ top-level cache directory (/var/cache for the system instance,
+ $XDG_CACHE_HOME for the user instance), %L resolves to the top-level
+ logs directory (/var/log for the system instance,
+ $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/log/ for the user instance). This matches the
+ existing %t specifier, that resolves to the top-level runtime
+ directory (/run for the system instance, and $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR for the
+ user instance).
+
+ * journalctl learnt a new parameter --output-fields= for limiting the
+ set of journal fields to output in verbose and JSON output modes.
+
+ * systemd-timesyncd's configuration file gained a new option
+ RootDistanceMaxSec= for setting the maximum root distance of servers
+ it'll use, as well as the new options PollIntervalMinSec= and
+ PollIntervalMaxSec= to tweak the minimum and maximum poll interval.
+
+ * bootctl gained a new command "list" for listing all available boot
+ menu items on systems that follow the boot loader specification.
+
+ * systemctl gained a new --dry-run switch that shows what would be done
+ instead of doing it, and is currently supported by the shutdown and
+ sleep verbs.
+
+ * ConditionSecurity= can now detect the TOMOYO security module.
+
+ * Unit file [Install] sections are now also respected in unit drop-in
+ files. This is intended to be used by drop-ins under /usr/lib/.
+
+ * systemd-firstboot may now also set the initial keyboard mapping.
+
+ * Udev "changed" events for devices which are exposed as systemd
+ .device units are now propagated to units specified in
+ ReloadPropagatedFrom= as reload requests.
+
+ * If a udev device has a SYSTEMD_WANTS= property containing a systemd
+ unit template name (i.e. a name in the form of 'foobar@.service',
+ without the instance component between the '@' and - the '.'), then
+ the escaped sysfs path of the device is automatically used as the
+ instance.
+
+ * SystemCallFilter= in unit files has been extended so that an "errno"
+ can be specified individually for each system call. Example:
+ SystemCallFilter=~uname:EILSEQ.
+
+ * The cgroup delegation logic has been substantially updated. Delegate=
+ now optionally takes a list of controllers (instead of a boolean, as
+ before), which lists the controllers to delegate at least.
+
+ * The networkd DHCPv6 client now implements the FQDN option (RFC 4704).
+
+ * A new LogLevelMax= setting configures the maximum log level any
+ process of the service may log at (i.e. anything with a lesser
+ priority than what is specified is automatically dropped). A new
+ LogExtraFields= setting allows configuration of additional journal
+ fields to attach to all log records generated by any of the unit's
+ processes.
+
+ * New StandardInputData= and StandardInputText= settings along with the
+ new option StandardInput=data may be used to configure textual or
+ binary data that shall be passed to the executed service process via
+ standard input, encoded in-line in the unit file.
+
+ * StandardInput=, StandardOutput= and StandardError= may now be used to
+ connect stdin/stdout/stderr of executed processes directly with a
+ file or AF_UNIX socket in the file system, using the new "file:" option.
+
+ * A new unit file option CollectMode= has been added, that allows
+ tweaking the garbage collection logic for units. It may be used to
+ tell systemd to garbage collect units that have failed automatically
+ (normally it only GCs units that exited successfully). systemd-run
+ and systemd-mount expose this new functionality with a new -G option.
+
+ * "machinectl bind" may now be used to bind mount non-directories
+ (i.e. regularfiles, devices, fifos, sockets).
+
+ * systemd-analyze gained a new verb "calendar" for validating and
+ testing calendar time specifications to use for OnCalendar= in timer
+ units. Besides validating the expression it will calculate the next
+ time the specified expression would elapse.
+
+ * In addition to the pre-existing FailureAction= unit file setting
+ there's now SuccessAction=, for configuring a shutdown action to
+ execute when a unit completes successfully. This is useful in
+ particular inside containers that shall terminate after some workload
+ has been completed. Also, both options are now supported for all unit
+ types, not just services.
+
+ * networkds's IP rule support gained two new options
+ IncomingInterface= and OutgoingInterface= for configuring the incoming
+ and outgoing interfaces of configured rules. systemd-networkd also
+ gained support for "vxcan" network devices.
+
+ * networkd gained a new setting RequiredForOnline=, taking a
+ boolean. If set, systemd-wait-online will take it into consideration
+ when determining that the system is up, otherwise it will ignore the
+ interface for this purpose.
+
+ * The sd_notify() protocol gained support for a new operation: with
+ FDSTOREREMOVE=1 file descriptors may be removed from the per-service
+ store again, ahead of POLLHUP or POLLERR when they are removed
+ anyway.
+
+ * A new document UIDS-GIDS.md has been added to the source tree, that
+ documents the UID/GID range and assignment assumptions and
+ requirements of systemd.
+
+ * The watchdog device PID 1 will ping may now be configured through the
+ WatchdogDevice= configuration file setting, or by setting the
+ systemd.watchdog_service= kernel commandline option.
+
+ * systemd-resolved's gained support for registering DNS-SD services on
+ the local network using MulticastDNS. Services may either be
+ registered by dropping in a .dnssd file in /etc/systemd/dnssd/ (or
+ the same dir below /run, /usr/lib), or through its D-Bus API.
+
+ * The sd_notify() protocol can now with EXTEND_TIMEOUT_USEC=microsecond
+ extend the effective start, runtime, and stop time. The service must
+ continue to send EXTEND_TIMEOUT_USEC within the period specified to
+ prevent the service manager from making the service as timedout.
+
+ * systemd-resolved's DNSSEC support gained support for RFC 8080
+ (Ed25519 keys and signatures).
+
+ * The systemd-resolve command line tool gained a new set of options
+ --set-dns=, --set-domain=, --set-llmnr=, --set-mdns=, --set-dnssec=,
+ --set-nta= and --revert to configure per-interface DNS configuration
+ dynamically during runtime. It's useful for pushing DNS information
+ into systemd-resolved from DNS hook scripts that various interface
+ managing software supports (such as pppd).
+
+ * systemd-nspawn gained a new --network-namespace-path= command line
+ option, which may be used to make a container join an existing
+ network namespace, by specifying a path to a "netns" file.

CHANGES WITH 235:
+ * INCOMPATIBILITY: systemd-logind.service and other long-running
+ services now run inside an IPv4/IPv6 sandbox, prohibiting them any IP
+ communication with the outside. This generally improves security of
+ the system, and is in almost all cases a safe and good choice, as
+ these services do not and should not provide any network-facing
+ functionality. However, systemd-logind uses the glibc NSS API to
+ query the user database. This creates problems on systems where NSS
+ is set up to directly consult network services for user database
+ lookups. In particular, this creates incompatibilities with the
+ "nss-nis" module, which attempts to directly contact the NIS/YP
+ network servers it is configured for, and will now consistently
+ fail. In such cases, it is possible to turn off IP sandboxing for
+ systemd-logind.service (set IPAddressDeny= in its [Service] section
+ to the empty string, via a .d/ unit file drop-in). Downstream
+ distributions might want to update their nss-nis packaging to include
+ such a drop-in snippet, accordingly, to hide this incompatibility
+ from the user. Another option is to make use of glibc's nscd service
+ to proxy such network requests through a privilege-separated, minimal
+ local caching daemon, or to switch to more modern technologies such
+ sssd, whose NSS hook-ups generally do not involve direct network
+ access. In general, we think it's definitely time to question the
+ implementation choices of nss-nis, i.e. whether it's a good idea
+ today to embed a network-facing loadable module into all local
+ processes that need to query the user database, including the most
+ trivial and benign ones, such as "ls". For more details about
+ IPAddressDeny= see below.
+
* A new modprobe.d drop-in is now shipped by default that sets the
bonding module option max_bonds=0. This overrides the kernel default,
to avoid conflicts and ambiguity as to whether or not bond0 should be

Features:
+* make use of ethtool veth peer info in machined, for automatically finding out

+* add some special mode to LogsDirectory=/StateDirectory=… that allows
+ declaring these directories without necessarily pulling in deps for them, or

+* deprecate PermissionsStartOnly= and RootDirectoryStartOnly= in favour of the ExecStart= prefix chars
+
+* add a new RuntimeDirectoryPreserve= mode that defines a similar lifecycle for
+ the runtime dir as we maintain for the fdstore: i.e. keep it around as long

+* Add NetworkNamespacePath= to specify a path to a network namespace
+
+* maybe use SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH (i.e. the env var the reproducible builds folks

+* document Environment=SYSTEMD_LOG_LEVEL=debug drop-in in debugging document
+
+* rework ExecOutput and ExecInput enums so that EXEC_OUTPUT_NULL loses its

+
+* in the long run: permit a system with /etc/machine-id linked to /dev/null, to
+ make it lose its identity, i.e. be anonymous. For this we'd have to patch
+ through the whole tree to make all code deal with the case where no machine
+ ID is available.
+
+* optionally, collect cgroup resource data, and store it in per-unit RRD files,
+ suitable for processing with rrdtool. Add bus API to access this data, and
+ possibly implement a CPULoad property based on it.

+ alternatively, do this with projids, so that we can also cover services
+ running as root. Quota should probably cover all the special dirs such as
+ StateDirectory=, LogsDirectory=, CacheDirectory=, as well as RootDirectory= if it
+ is set, plus the whole disk space any image configured with RootImage=.
+
+* Introduce "exit" as an EmergencyAction value, and allow to configure a
