(please fwd to 13.1 too)
- Release v208:
+ logind gained support for facilitating privileged input and drm
devices access for unprivileged clients (helps Wayland /
kmscon).
+ New kernel command line luks.options= allows to specify LUKS
options, when used with luks.uuid=
+ tmpfileS.d snippets can uses specifier expansion in path names
(%m, %b, %H, %v).
+ New tmpfiles.d command "m" introduced to change
owner/group/access mode of a file/directory only if it exists.
+ MemorySoftLimit= cgroup settings is no longer supported
(underlying kernel cgroup attribute will disappear in the
future).
+ memeory.use_hierarchy cgroup attribute is enabled for all
cgroups systemd creates in memory cgroup hierarchy.
+ New filed _SYSTEMD_SLICE= is logged in journal messages related
to a slice.
+ systemd-journald will no longer adjust the group of journal
files it creates to "systemd-journal" group. Permissions and
owernship is adjusted when package is upgraded.
+ Backlight and random seed files are now stored in
/var/lib/systemd.
+ Boot time performance measurements included ACPI 5.0 FPDT
informations if available.

- version 207, distribution specific changes follow, for overall
release notes see NEWS.
- Fixed:
* Failed at step PAM spawning /usr/lib/systemd/systemd:
Operation not permitted
* Fix shutdown hang "a stop job is running for Session 1 of user root"
that was reported in opensuse-factory list.
- systemd-sysctl no longer reads /etc/sysctl.conf however backward
compatbility is to be provides by a symlink created at %post.

- version 206 , highlights:
* Unit files now understand the new %v specifier which
resolves to the kernel version string as returned by "uname-r".
* "journalctl -b" may now be used to look for boot output of a
specific boot. Try "journalctl -b -1"
* Creation of "dead" device nodes has been moved from udev
into kmod and tmpfiles.
* The udev "keymap" data files and tools to apply keyboard
specific mappings of scan to key codes, and force-release
scan code lists have been entirely replaced by a udev
"keyboard" builtin and a hwdb data file.
- remove patches now in upstream
- systemd now requires libkmod >=14 and cryptsetup >= 1.6.0
- systemd now require the kmod tool in addition to the library.

- Update to release 205:
+ two new unit types have been introduced:
- Scope units are very similar to service units, however, are
created out of pre-existing processes -- instead of PID 1
forking off the processes.
- Slice units may be used to partition system resources in an
hierarchial fashion and then assign other units to them. By
default there are now three slices: system.slice (for all
system services), user.slice (for all user sessions),
machine.slice (for VMs and containers).
+ new concept of "transient" units, which are created at runtime
using an API and not based on configuration from disk.
+ logind has been updated to make use of scope and slice units to
manage user sessions. Logind will no longer create cgroups
hierchies itself but will relying on PID 1.
+ A new mini-daemon "systemd-machined" has been added which
may be used by virtualization managers to register local
VMs/containers. machinectl tool has been added to query
meta-data from systemd-machined.
+ Low-level cgroup configuration options ControlGroup=,
ControlGroupModify=, ControlGroupPersistent=,
ControlGroupAttribute= have been removed. High-level attribute
settings or slice units should be used instead?
+ A new bus call SetUnitProperties() has been added to alter
various runtime parameters of a unit, including cgroup
parameters. systemctl gained set-properties command to wrap
this call.
+ A new tool "systemd-run" has been added which can be used to
run arbitrary command lines as transient services or scopes,
while configuring a number of settings via the command

- Update to release 204:
+ systemd-nspawn creates etc/resolv.conf in container if needed.
+ systemd-nspawn will store metadata about container in container
cgroup including its root directory.
+ cgroup hierarchy has been reworked, all objects are now suffxed
(with .session for user sessions, .user for users, .nspawn for
containers). All cgroup names are now escaped to preven
collision of object names.
+ systemctl list-dependencies gained --plain, --reverse, --after
and --before switches.
+ systemd-inhibit shows processes name taking inhibitor lock.
+ nss-myhostname will now resolve "localhost" implicitly.
+ .include is not allowed recursively anymore and only in unit
files. Drop-in files should be favored in most cases.
+ systemd-analyze gained "critical-chain" command, to get slowest
chain of units run during boot-up.
+ systemd-nspawn@.service has been added to easily run nspawn
container for system services. Just start
"systemd-nspawn@foobar.service" and container from
/var/lib/container/foobar" will be booted.
+ systemd-cgls has new --machine parameter to list processes from
one container.
+ ConditionSecurity= can now check for apparmor and SMACK.
+ /etc/systemd/sleep.conf has been introduced to configure which
kernel operation will be execute when "suspend", "hibernate" or
"hybrid-sleep" is requrested. It allow new kernel "freeze"
state to be used too. (This setting won't have any effect if
pm-utils is installed).
+ ENV{SYSTEMD_WANTS} in udev rules will now implicitly escape
passed argument if applicable.

- Update to release 202:
+ 'systemctl list-jobs' got some polishing. '--type=' argument
may now be passed more than once. 'systemctl list-sockets' has
been added.
+ systemd gained a new unit 'systemd-static-nodes.service'
that generates static device nodes earlier during boot, and
can run in conjunction with udev.
+ systemd-nspawn now places all containers in the new /machine
top-level cgroup directory in the name=systemd hierarchy.
+ bootchart can now store its data in the journal.
+ journactl can now take multiple --unit= and --user-unit=
switches.
+ The cryptsetup logic now understands the "luks.key=" kernel
command line switch. If a configured key file is missing, it
will fallback to prompting the user.
- Rebase some patches
- Update handle-SYSTEMCTL_OPTIONS-environment-variable.patch to
properly handle SYSTEMCTL_OPTIONS
- Fix regression in the default for tmp auto-deletion
(systemd-tmp-safe-defaults.patch, FATE#314974).
- Add chromebook lid switch as a power switch to logind rule to
enable suspend on lid close
- Update to release 202:
+ 'systemctl list-jobs' got some polishing. '--type=' argument
may now be passed more than once. 'systemctl list-sockets' has
been added.
+ systemd gained a new unit 'systemd-static-nodes.service'
