* When creating transient services via the bus API it is now

possible to pass in a set of file descriptors to use as

STDIN/STDOUT/STDERR for the invoked process.

* A number of properties previously only settable in unit

files are now also available as properties to set when

creating transient units programmatically via the bus, as it

* Wherever systemd expects a calendar timestamp specification

timestamps are now supported. Timestamps suffixed with "UTC"
|

are now considered to be in Universal Time Coordinated

optionally be specified with a sub-second accuracy. Both of
|

these additions also apply to recurring calendar event

specification, such as OnCalendar= in timer units.
|

|

* journalctl gained a new "--sync" switch that asks the

journal daemon to write all so far unwritten log messages to

disk and sync the files, before returning.

* systemd-tmpfiles learned two new line types "q" and "Q" that

* systemd-detect-virt gained a new --chroot switch to detect

whether execution takes place in a chroot() environment.
|

|

* CPUAffinity= now takes CPU index ranges in addition to
|

individual indexes.

* The various memory-related resource limit settings (such as

LimitAS=) now understand the usual K, M, G, ... suffixes to

the base of 1024 (IEC). Similar, the time-related resource

limit settings understand the usual min, h, day, ...

to define additional and arbitrarily-named virtual Ethernet

added that allows importing select environment variables

from PID1's environment block into the environment block of

the service.

* systemd will now bump the net.unix.max_dgram_qlen to 512 by
|

default now (the kernel default is 16). This is beneficial
|

for avoiding blocking on AF_UNIX/SOCK_DGRAM sockets since it

parallelize boot-up, as logging and sd_notify() are unlikely
|

to stall execution anymore. If you need to change the value

from the new defaults, use the usual sysctl.d/ snippets.

* Support for the ".snapshot" unit type has been removed. This
|

feature turned out to be little useful and little used, and
|

has now been removed from the core and from systemctl.

added that allows importing select environment variables

|

* In unit files the behaviour of %u, %U, %h, %s has
|
||||
changed. These specifiers will now unconditionally resolve
|
||||
to the various user database fields of the user that the
|
||||
systemd instance is running as, instead of the user
|
||||
configured in the specific unit via User=. Note that this
|
||||
effectively doesn't change much, as resolving of these
|
||||
specifiers was already turned off in the --system instance
|
||||
of systemd, as we cannot do NSS lookups from PID 1. In the
|
||||
--user instance of systemd these specifiers where correctly
|
||||
resolved, but hardly made any sense, since the user instance
|
||||
lacks privileges to do user switches anyway, and User= is
|
||||
hence useless. Morever, even in the --user instance of
|
||||
systemd behaviour was awkward as it would only take settings
|
||||
from User= assignment placed before the specifier into
|
||||
account. In order to unify and simplify the logic around
|
||||
this the specifiers will now always resolve to the
|
||||
credentials of the user invoking the manager (which in case
|
||||
of PID 1 is the root user).
