used to control how the kernel keyring is set up for executed
processes.
* "systemctl poweroff", "systemctl reboot", "systemctl halt",
"systemctl kexec" and "systemctl exit" are now always asynchronous in
behaviour (that is: these commands return immediately after the
operation was enqueued instead of waiting until the operation was
completed). Previously, "systemctl poweroff" and "systemctl reboot"
were asynchronous on systems using systemd-logind (i.e. almost
always, and like they were on sysvinit), and the other three commands
were unconditionally synchronous. With this release this is cleaned
up, and callers will see the same asynchronous behaviour on all
systems for all five operations.
* systemd-logind gained new Halt() and CanHalt() bus calls for halting
the system.
* .timer units now accept calendar specifications in other timezones
than UTC or the local timezone.
