CHANGES WITH 243 in spe:
* Enable unprivileged programs, neither setuid nor having file
capabilities, to send ICMP Echo requests by turning on the
net.ipv4.ping_group_range parameter of the Linux kernel for all
groups. If this is not desirable, then it can be disabled by setting
the parameter to "1 0".
* This release enables unprivileged programs (i.e. requiring neither
setuid nor file capabilities) to send ICMP Echo (i.e. ping) requests
by turning on the net.ipv4.ping_group_range sysctl of the Linux
kernel for the whole UNIX group range, i.e. all processes. This
change should be reasonably safe, as the kernel support for it was
specifically implemented to allow safe access to ICMP Echo for
processes lacking any privileges. If this is not desirable, it can be
disabled again by setting the parameter to "1 0".
* Previously, filters defined with SystemCallFilter= would have the
effect that an calling an offending system call would terminate the

the StatusUnitFormat= setting in /etc/systemd/system.conf or the
kernel command line option systemd.status_unit_format=.
* PID 1 now understands a new option KExecWatchdogSec= in
/etc/systemd/system.conf. It allows configuration of a watchdog
timeout to write to a hardware watchdog device on kexec-based
reboots. Previously this functionality was only available for regular
reboots. This option defaults to off, since it depends on drivers and
software setup whether the watchdog is correctly reset again after
the kexec completed, and thus for the general case not clear if safe
(since it might cause unwanted watchdog reboots after the kexec
completed otherwise). Moreover, the old ShutdownWatchdogSec= setting
has been renamed to RebootWatchdogSec= to more clearly communicate
what it is about. The old name of the setting is still accepted for
compatibility.
* The systemd.debug_shell kernel command line option now optionally
takes a tty name to spawn the debug shell on, which allows selecting
a different tty than the built-in default.
