CHANGES WITH 206:
* The documentation has been updated to cover the various new
concepts introduced with 205.
* Unit files now understand the new %v specifier which
resolves to the kernel version string as returned by "uname
-r".
* systemctl now supports filtering the unit list output by
load state, active state and sub state, using the new
--type= parameter.
* "systemctl status" will now show the results of the
condition checks (like ConditionPathExists= and similar) of
the last start attempts of the unit. They are also logged to
the journal.
* "journalctl -b" may now be used to look for boot output of a
specific boot. Try "journalctl -b -1" for the previous boot,
but the syntax is substantially more powerful.
* "journalctl --show-cursor" has been added which prints the
cursor string the last shown log line. This may then be used
with the new "journalctl --after-cursor=" switch to continue
browsing logs from that point on.
* "journalctl --force" may now be used to force regeneration
of an FSS key.
* Device ACLs may now be applied to "dead" devices nodes too,
i.e. device nodes that are created based on modalias
information of unloaded kernel modules.
* A new RPM macro has been added that may be used to apply
tmpfiles configuration during package installation.
* systemd-detect-virt and ConditionVirtualization= now can
detect User-Mode-Linux machines (UML).
* journald will now log the effective capabilities set of
processes in the message metadata.
* systemd-cryptsetup has gained support for TrueCrypt volumes.
* The initrd interface has been simplified (more specifically,
support for passing performance data via environment
variables and fsck results via files in /run has been
removed). These features were non-essential, and are
nowadays available in a much nicer way by having systemd in
the initrd serialize its state and have the hosts systemd
deserialize it again.

Features:
* journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
* given that logind/machined now let PID 1 do all nasty work we can
probably reduce the capability set they retain substantially.
