It is now fully supported. + * The unified cgroup hierarchy added in Linux 4.5 is now supported. + Use systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=1 on the kernel command line + to enable. + WARNING: it is not possible to use previous systemd versions with + systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=1 and the new kernel. Therefore it + is necessary to also update systemd in the initramfs if using the + unified hierarchy. Updated selinux policy is also required. + + * LLDP support has been extended, and both passive (receive-only) + and active (sender) modes are supported. Passive mode + ("routers-only") is enabled by default in systemd-networkd. + Active LLDP mode is enabled by default for containers on the + internal network. + "networkctl lldp" can be used to list information gathered. + + * Headers for LLDP support (sd-lldp.h) are now public. + + * The Unique Identifier sent in DHCP requests can be configured. + + * systemd-journald now uses separate threads to flush changes to + disk when closing journal files. + + * systemd-ask-password skips printing of the password to stdout + with --no-output which can be useful in scripts. + + * Framebuffer devices (/dev/fb*) and 3D printers and scanners + (devices tagged with ID_MAKER_TOOL) are now tagged with + "uaccess" and are available to logged in users. + + * systemd-bootchart has been split out to a separate repository: + https://github.com/systemd/systemd-bootchart + + * Compatibility libraries libsystemd-daemon.so, libsystemd-journal.so, + libsystemd-id128.so, and libsystemd-login.so which have been + deprecated since systemd-209 have been removed along along with the + corresponding pkg-config files. All symbols provided by the those + libraries are provided by libsystemd.so. + + * Capabilities= setting has been removed (it is ignored for backwards + compatibility). AmbientCapabilities= and CapabilityBoundingSet= + should be used instead. + + * systemd-bus-proxyd has been removed, as kdbus will not be merged + in current form. + CHANGES WITH 229: * The systemd-resolved DNS resolver service has gained a substantial
