This key code mangling has been removed from udev.
To maintain compatibility with X11 applications that rely on the old
function key code mappings, this mangling has now been moved to the
function key code mappings, this mangling has now been added to the
relevant X11 keyboard driver modules. In order to ensure these keys
continue to work, update to xf86-input-evdev >= 2.11.0 and
xf86-input-libinput >= 1.5.0 before updating to systemd >= 258.

* User records now support a concept of home "areas",
i.e. subdirectories of the primary $HOME directory that a user can
log into. This is useful to maintain separate development
environments or configuration contexts, but within the ownership of
the same user. Support for this is implemented in systemd-homed, but
is conceptually open to other backends, too. New home areas can be
created via "mkdir -p ~/Areas/ && cp /etc/skel ~/Areas/foo", or
removed by "rm -rf ~/Areas/foo". Whenever prompted for login and a
user name is requested, it is possible to enter a username suffixed
by "%" and the area name in order to log into the specified area of
the user. (e.g. "bar%foo"). Effectively this ensures that $HOME and
$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR include the area choice after login. Note that at
this moment it's not possible to log into a fully graphical session
with this, since we'd have to start a per-area user service manager
for that, and we currently do not do this. But we hope to provide
this in one of the next releases. In order to implement all this user
