It is + our plan to remove Automake in one of our next releases, so that + Meson becomes our exclusive build system. Hence, please start using + the Meson build system in your downstream packaging. There's plenty + of documentation around how to use Meson, the extremely brief + summary: + + ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make && sudo make install + + becomes: + + meson build && ninja -C build && sudo ninja -C build install + + * Unit files gained support for a new JobRunningTimeoutUSec= setting, + which permits configuring a timeout on the time a job is + running. This is particularly useful for setting timeouts on jobs for + .device units. + + * Unit files gained two new options ConditionUser= and ConditionGroup= + for conditionalizing units based on the identity of the user/group + running a systemd user instance. + + * systemd-networkd now understands a new FlowLabel= setting in the + [VXLAN] section of .network files, as well as a Priority= in + [Bridge], GVRP= + MVRP= + LooseBinding= + ReorderHeader= in [VLAN] + and GatewayOnlink= + IPv6Preference= + Protocol= in [Route]. It also + gained support for configuration of GENEVE links, and IPv6 address + labels. The [Network] section gained the new IPv6ProxyNDP= setting. + + * .link files now understand a new Port= setting. + + * systemd-networkd's DHCP support gained support for DHCP option 119 + (domain search list). + + * systemd-networkd gained support for serving IPv6 address ranges using + the Router Advertisment protocol. The new .network configuration + section [IPv6Prefix] may be used to configure the ranges to + serve. This is implemented based on a new, minimal, native server + implementation of RA. + + * journalctl's --output= switch gained support for a new parameter + "short-iso-precise" for a mode where timestamps are shown as precise + ISO date values. + + * systemd-udevd's "net_id" builtin may now generate stable network + interface names from IBM PowerVM VIO devices as well as ACPI platform + devices. + + * MulticastDNS support in systemd-resolved may now be explicitly + enabled/disabled using the new MulticastDNS= configuration file + option. + + * systemd-resolved may now optionally use libidn2 instead of the libidn + for processing internationalized domain names. Support for libidn2 + should be considered experimental and should not be enabled by + default yet. + + * "machinectl pull-tar" and related call may now do verification of + downloaded images using SUSE-style .sha256 checksum files in addition + to the already existing support for validating using Ubuntu-style + SHA256SUMS files. + + * sd-bus gained support for a new sd_bus_message_appendv() call which + is va_list equivalent of sd_bus_message_append(). + + * sd-boot gained support for validating images using SHIM/MOK. + + * The SMACK code learnt support for "onlycap". + + * systemd-mount --umount is now much smarter in figuring out how to + properly unmount a device given its mount or device path. + + * The code to call libnss_dns as a fallback from libnss_resolve when + the communication with systemd-resolved fails was removed. This + fallback was redundant and interfered with the [!UNAVAIL=return] + suffix. See nss-resolve(8) for the recommended configuration. + + * systemd-logind may now be restarted without losing state. It stores + the file descriptors for devices it manages in the system manager + using the FDSTORE= mechanism. Please note that further changes in + other components may be required to make use of this (for example + Xorg has code to listen for stops of systemd-logind and terminate + itself when logind is stopped or restarted, in order to avoid using + stale file descriptors for graphical devices, which is now + counterproductive and must be reverted in order for restarts of + systemd-logind to be safe. See + https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/?id=dc48bd653c7e101.) + + * All kernel install plugins are called with the environment variable + KERNEL_INSTALL_MACHINE_ID which is set to the machine ID given by + /etc/machine-id. If the file is missing or empty, the variable is + empty and BOOT_DIR_ABS is the path of a temporary directory which is + removed after all the plugins exit. So, if KERNEL_INSTALL_MACHINE_ID + is empty, all plugins should not put anything in BOOT_DIR_ABS. + + Contributions from: Adrian Heine né Lang, Aggelos Avgerinos, Alexander + Kurtz, Alexandros Frantzis, Alexey Brodkin, Alex Lu, Amir Pakdel, Amir + Yalon, Anchor Cat, Anthony Parsons, Bastien Nocera, Benjamin Gilbert, + Benjamin Robin, Boucman, Charles Plessy, Chris Chiu, Chris Lamb, + Christian Brauner, Christian Hesse, Colin Walters, Daniel Drake, + Danielle Church, Daniel Molkentin, Daniel Rusek, Daniel Wang, Davide + Cavalca, David Herrmann, David Michael, Dax Kelson, Dimitri John + Ledkov, Djalal Harouni, Dušan Kazik, Elias Probst, Evgeny Vereshchagin, + Federico Di Pierro, Felipe Sateler, Felix Zhang, Franck Bui, Gary + Tierney, George McCollister, Giedrius Statkevičius, Hans de Goede, + hecke, Hendrik Westerberg, Hristo Venev, Ian Wienand, Insun Pyo, Ivan + Shapovalov, James Cowgill, James Hemsing, Janne Heß, Jan Synacek, Jason + Reeder, João Paulo Rechi Vita, John Paul Adrian Glaubitz, Jörg + Thalheim, Josef Andersson, Josef Gajdusek, Julian Mehne, Kai Krakow, + Krzysztof Jackiewicz, Lars Karlitski, Lennart Poettering, Lluís Gili, + Lucas Werkmeister, Lukáš Nykrýn, Łukasz Stelmach, Mantas Mikulėnas, + Marcin Bachry, Marcus Cooper, Mark Stosberg, Martin Pitt, Matija Skala, + Matt Clarkson, Matthew Garrett, Matthias Greiner, Matthijs van Duin, + Max Resch, Michael Biebl, Michal Koutný, Michal Sekletar, Michal + Soltys, Michal Suchanek, Mike Gilbert, Nate Clark, Nathaniel R.
