In this mode, messages from processes which are not part of the session
land in the main journal file, and only output of processes which are
properly part of the session land in the user's journal. This is
confusing, in particular because systemd-coredump runs outside of the
login session.
"Deprecate" SplitMode=login by removing it from documentation, to
discourage people from using it.
As suggested by @mbiebl we already use the "!" special char in unit file
assignments for negation, hence we should not use it in a different context for
privileged execution. Let's use "+" instead.
"strict versioned dependency" suggests that version "231" of the library
is stable. But the ABI or API might be changed in any patch, so reword
the text to avoid using "version".
In some cases, caching DNS results locally is not desirable, a it makes DNS
cache poisoning attacks a tad easier and also allows users on the system to
determine whether or not a particular domain got visited by another user. Thus
provide a new "Cache" resolved.conf option to disable it.
There are many cgroups-related changes (thanks, @htejun!)
This commit will simplify testing a bit.
Use:
make run UNIFIED_CGROUP_HIERARCHY=yes to enable cgroup-v2
make run UNIFIED_CGROUP_HIERARCHY=no to enable cgroup-v1
... logind SIGHUP support, sd_journal_open_{directory,files}_fd,
specifiers in DeviceAllow, "generated" and "trasnient" unit types.
Move removed features to the end and cluster features by type.
Add an option to disable appending DHCP option 3 (Router) to the DHCP
OFFER and ACK packets.
This commit adds the boolean option EmitRouter= for the [DHCPServer]
section in .network files.
Rationale: On embedded devices, it is very useful to have a DHCP server
running on an USB OTG ethernet gadget interface to avoid manual setup on
the client PCs, but it should only serve IP addresses, no route(r)s.
Otherwise, Windows clients experience network connectivity issues, due
to them using the address set in DHCP option 3 as default gateway.

We enable lingering for anyone who wants this. It is still disabled by
default to avoid keeping long-running processes accidentally.
Admins might want to customize this policy on multi-user sites.
This ensures that users sessions are properly cleaned up after.
The admin can still enable or disable linger for specific users to allow
them to run processes after they log out. Doing that through the user
session is much cleaner and provides better control.
dbus daemon can now be run in the user session (with --enable-user-session,
added in 1.10.2), and most distributions opted to pick this configuration.
In the normal case it makes a lot of sense to kill remaining processes.
The exception is stuff like screen and tmux. But it's easy enough to
work around, a simple example was added to the man page in previous
commit. In the long run those services should integrate with the systemd
users session on their own.

NEWS for `219` references `machinectl list-images` to describe the introduced clone feature - this looks like a copy'n'paste problem.
Use `machinectl clone` instead.
Let's make sure DNSSEC gets more testing, by defaulting DNSSEC to
"allow-downgrade" mode. Since distros should probably not ship DNSSEC enabled
by default add a configure switch to disable this again.
DNSSEC in "allow-downgrade" mode should mostly work without affecting user
experience. There's one exception: some captive portal systems rewrite DNS in
order to redirect HTTP traffic to the captive portal. If these systems
implement DNS servers that are otherwise DNSSEC-capable (which in fact is
pretty unlikely, but still...), then this will result in the captive portal
being inaccessible. To fix this support in NetworkManager (or any other network
management solution that does captive portal detection) is required, which
simply turns off DNSSEC during the captive portal detection, and resets it back
to the default (i.e. on) after captive portal authentication is complete.
It has fairly wide functionality now and the interface has been
stable for a while. It it a useful testing tool.
The name is changed to better indicate what it does.
Support for net_cls.class_id through the NetClass= configuration directive
has been added in v227 in preparation for a per-unit packet filter mechanism.
However, it turns out the kernel people have decided to deprecate the net_cls
and net_prio controllers in v2. Tejun provides a comprehensive justification
for this in his commit, which has landed during the merge window for kernel
v4.5:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=bd1060a1d671
As we're aiming for full support for the v2 cgroup hierarchy, we can no
longer support this feature. Userspace tool such as nftables are moving over
to setting rules that are specific to the full cgroup path of a task, which
obsoletes these controllers anyway.
This commit removes support for tweaking details in the net_cls controller,
but keeps the NetClass= directive around for legacy compatibility reasons.
Hardly any software uses that any more, and better locking mechanisms like
flock() have been available for many years.
Also drop the corresponding "lock" group from sysusers.d/basic.conf.in, as
nothing else is using this.
Introduce /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install [--root=] <action> <name>
abstraction, replacing the direct calling of chkconfig. This allows
distributions to call their specific tools like update-rc.d without patching
systemd.
Ship systemd-sysv-install.SKELETON as an example for packagers how to implement
this.
Drop the --enable-chkconfig configure option.
Document this in README and point to it in NEWS.
Introduce a new optional dependency on libxkbcommon for systemd-localed.
Whenever the x11 keymap settings are changed, use libxkbcommon to compile
the keymap. If the compilation fails, print a warning so users will get
notified.
On compilation failure, we still update the keymap settings for now. This
patch just introduces the xkbcommon infrastructure to have keymap
validation in place. We can later decide if/how we want to enforce this.
The term "priority" is misleading because higher levels have lower
priority. "Level" is clearer and shorter.
This commit touches only the textual descriptions, not function and variable
names themselves. "Priority" is used in various command-line switches and
protocol constants, so completly getting rid of "priority" is hard.
I also left "priority" in various places where the clarity suffered
when it was removed.
While GNOME/KDE are generally capitalized, systemd tools generally are
not, hence let's not start doing so in the XDG_CURRENT_SESSION
environment variable.
The system start timeout as previously implemented would get confused by
long-running services that are included in the initial system startup
transaction for example by being cron-job-like long-running services
triggered immediately at boot. Such long-running jobs would be subject
to the default 15min timeout, esily triggering it.
Hence, remove this again. In a subsequent commit, introduce per-target
job timeouts instead, that allow us to control these timeouts more
finegrained.
Quoting from Jon Corbet's report of Stephen Hemminger's talk at Linux
Plumbers Conference 2014 (https://lwn.net/Articles/616241/):
[...] So Stephen encouraged everybody to run a command like:
sysctl -w net.core.default_qdisc=fq_codel
That will cause fq_codel to be used for all future connections
[Qdiscs apply to interfaces, not connections. Pointed out by TomH
in the article comments. -- mschmidt] (up to the next reboot).
Unfortunately, the default queuing discipline cannot be changed,
since it will certainly disturb some user's workload somewhere.
Let's have the recommended default in systemd.
Thanks to Dave Täht for advice and the summary at

systemd-evcat and systemd-modeset are not installed systemd wide and
should really just be used by developers to test the libsystemd-terminal
features. No reason to mention it in NEWS.. despite the undulating
rainbows..
For network devices on the same PCI function, dev_id should not be used,
since its purpose is for IPv6 support on interfaces with the same MAC
address.
The new dev_port sysfs attribute should be used instead of dev_id.
