CHANGES WITH 212:
|
||||
|
||||
* When restoring the screen brightness at boot, stay away from
|
||||
the darkest setting or from the lowest 5% of the available
|
||||
range, depending on which is the larger value of both. This
|
||||
should effectively protect the user from rebooting into a
|
||||
black screen, should the brightness have been set to minimum
|
||||
by accident.
|
||||
|
||||
* sd-login gained a new sd_machine_get_class() call to
|
||||
determine the class ("vm" or "container") of a machine
|
||||
registered with machined.
|
||||
|
||||
* sd-login gained new calls
|
||||
sd_peer_get_{session,owner_uid,unit,user_unit,slice,machine_name}(),
|
||||
to query the identity of the peer of a local AF_UNIX
|
||||
connection. They operate similar to their sd_pid_get_xyz()
|
||||
counterparts.
|
||||
|
||||
* PID 1 will now maintain a system-wide system state engine
|
||||
with the states "starting", "running", "degraded",
|
||||
"maintenance", "stopping". These states are bound to system
|
||||
startup, normal runtime, runtime with at least one failed
|
||||
service, rescue/emergency mode and system shutdown. This
|
||||
state is shown in the "systemctl status" output when no unit
|
||||
name is passed. It is useful to determine system state, in
|
||||
particularly when doing so for many systems or containers at
|
||||
once.
|
||||
|
||||
* A new command "list-machines" has been added to "systemctl"
|
||||
that lists all local OS containers and shows their system
|
||||
state (see above), if systemd runs inside of them.
|
||||
|
||||
* systemctl gained a new "-r" switch to recursively enumerate
|
||||
units on all local containers, when used with the
|
||||
"list-unit" command (which is the default one that is
|
||||
executed when no parameters are specified).
|
||||
|
||||
* The GPT automatic partition discovery logic will now honour
|
||||
two GPT partition flags: one may be set on a partition to
|
||||
cause it to be mounted read-only, and the other may be set
|
||||
on a partition to ignore it during automatic discovery.
|
||||
|
||||
* Two new GPT type UUIDs have been added for automatic root
|
||||
partition discovery, for 32bit and 64bit ARM. This is not
|
||||
particularly useful for discovering the root directory on
|
||||
these architectures during bare-metal boots (since UEFI is
|
||||
not common there), but still very useful to allow booting of
|
||||
ARM disk images in nspawn with the -i option.
|
||||
|
||||
* MAC addresses of interfaces created with nspawn's
|
||||
--network-interface= switch will now be generated from the
|
||||
machine name, and thus be stable between multiple invocations
|
||||
of the container.
|
||||
|
||||
* logind will now automatically remove all IPC objects owned
|
||||
by a user if she or he fully logs out. This makes sure that
|
||||
users who are logged out cannot continue to consume IPC
|
||||
resources. This covers SysV memory, semaphores and message
|
||||
queues as well as POSIX shared memory and message
|
||||
queues. Traditionally SysV and POSIX IPC had no life-cycle
|
||||
limits, with this functionality this is corrected. This may
|
||||
be turned off using the RemoveIPC= switch of logind.conf.
|
||||
|
||||
* The systemd-machine-id-setup and tmpfiles tools gained a
|
||||
--root= switch to operate on a specific root directory,
|
||||
instead of /.
|
||||
|
||||
* journald can now forward logged messages to the TTYs of all
|
||||
logged in users ("wall"). This is the default for all
|
||||
emergency messages now.
|
||||
|
||||
* A new tool systemd-journal-remote has been added to stream
|
||||
journal log messages across the network.
|
||||
|
||||
* /sys/fs/cgroup/ is now mounted read-only after all cgroup
|
||||
controller trees are mounted into it. Note that the
|
||||
directories mounted beneath it are not read-only. This is a
|
||||
security measure and is particularly useful because glibc
|
||||
actually includes a search logic to pick any tmpfs it can
|
||||
find to implement shm_open() if /dev/shm is not available
|
||||
(which it might very well be in namespaced setups).
|
||||
|
||||
* machinectl gained a new "poweroff" command to cleanly power
|
||||
down a local OS container.
|
||||
|
||||
* The PrivateDevices= unit file setting will now also drop the
|
||||
CAP_MKNOD capability from the capability bound set, and
|
||||
imply DevicePolicy=closed.
|
||||
|
||||
* PrivateDevices=, PrivateNetwork= and PrivateTmp= is now used
|
||||
comprehensively on all long-running systemd services where
|
||||
this is appropriate.
|
||||
|
||||
* systemd-udevd will now run in a disassociated mount
|
||||
namespace. To mount directories from udev rules make sure to
|
||||
pull in mount units via SYSTEMD_WANTS properties.
|
||||
|
||||
* The kdbus support gained support for uploading policy into
|
||||
the kernel. sd-bus gained support for creating "monitoring"
|
||||
connections that can eavesdrop into all bus communication
|
||||
for debugging purposes.
|
||||
|
||||
* Timestamps may now be specified in seconds since the UNIX
|
||||
epoch Jan 1st, 1970 by specifying "@" followed by the value
|
||||
in seconds.
|
||||
|
||||
* Native tcpwrap support in systemd has been removed. tcpwrap
|
||||
is old code, not really maintained anymore and has serious
|
||||
shortcomings, and better options such as firewalls
|
||||
exist. For setups that require tcpwrap usage, please
|
||||
consider invoking your socket-activated service via tcpd,
|
||||
like on traditional inetd.
|
||||
|
||||
* A new system.conf configuration option
|
||||
DefaultTimerAccuracySec= has been added that controls the
|
||||
default AccuracySec= setting of .timer units.
|
||||
|
||||
* Timer units gained a new WakeSystem= switch. If enabled
|
||||
timers configured this way will cause the system to resume
|
||||
from system suspend (if the system supports that, which most
|
||||
do these days).
|
||||
|
||||
* Timer units gained a new Persistent= switch. If enabled
|
||||
timers configured this way will save to disk when they have
|
||||
been last triggered. This information is then used on next
|
||||
reboot to possible execute overdue timer events, that
|
||||
couldn't take place because the system was powered off. This
|
||||
enables simple anacron-like behaviour for timer units.
|
||||
|
||||
* systemctl's "list-timers" will now also list the time a
|
||||
timer unit was last triggered in addition to the next time
|
||||
it will be triggered.
|
||||
|
||||
* systemd-networkd will now assign predictable IPv4LL
|
||||
addresses to its local interfaces.
