systemd System and Service Manager
|

|

CHANGES WITH 197:
|
||||
|
||||
* Timer units now support calendar time events in addition to
|
||||
monotonic time events. That means you can now trigger a unit
|
||||
based on a calendar time specification such as "Thu,Fri
|
||||
2013-*-1,5 11:12:13" which refers to 11:12:13 of the first
|
||||
or fifth day of any month of the year 2013, given that it is
|
||||
a thursday or friday. This brings timer event support
|
||||
considerably closer to cron's capabilities. For details on
|
||||
the supported calendar time specification language see
|
||||
systemd.time(7).
|
||||
|
||||
* udev now supports a number of different naming policies for
|
||||
network interfaces for predictable names, and a combination
|
||||
of these policies is now the default. Please see this wiki
|
||||
document for details:
|
||||
|
||||
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames
|
||||
|
||||
* Auke Kok's bootchart implementation has been added to the
|
||||
systemd tree. It's an optional component that can graph the
|
||||
boot in quite some detail. It's one of the best bootchart
|
||||
implementations around and minimal in its code and
|
||||
dependencies.
|
||||
|
||||
* nss-myhostname has been integrated into the systemd source
|
||||
tree. nss-myhostname guarantees that the local hostname
|
||||
always stays resolvable via NSS. It has been a weak
|
||||
requirement of systemd-hostnamed since a long time, and
|
||||
since its code is actually trivial we decided to just
|
||||
include it in systemd's source tree. It can be turned off
|
||||
with a configure switch.
|
||||
|
||||
* The read-ahead logic is now capable of properly detecting
|
||||
whether a btrfs file system is on SSD or rotating media, in
|
||||
order to optimize the read-ahead scheme. Previously, it was
|
||||
only capable of detecting this on traditional file systems
|
||||
such as ext4.
|
||||
|
||||
* In udev, additional device properties are now read from the
|
||||
IAB in addition to the OUI database. Also, Bluetooth company
|
||||
identities are attached to the devices as well.
|
||||
|
||||
* In service files %U may be used as specifier that is
|
||||
replaced by the configured user name of the service.
|
||||
|
||||
* nspawn may now be invoked without a controlling TTY. This
|
||||
makes it suitable for invocation as its own service. This
|
||||
may be used to set up a simple containerized server system
|
||||
using only core OS tools.
|
||||
|
||||
* systemd and nspawn can now accept socket file descriptors
|
||||
when they are started for socket activation. This enables
|
||||
implementation of socket activated nspawn
|
||||
containers. i.e. think about autospawning an entire OS image
|
||||
when the first SSH or HTTP connection is received. We expect
|
||||
that similar functionality will also be added to libvirt-lxc
|
||||
eventually.
|
||||
|
||||
* journalctl will now suppress ANSI color codes when
|
||||
presenting log data.
|
||||
|
||||
* systemctl will no longer show control group information for
|
||||
a unit if a the control group is empty anyway.
|
||||
|
||||
* logind can now automatically suspend/hibernate/shutdown the
|
||||
system on idle.
|
||||
|
||||
* /etc/machine-info and hostnamed now also expose the chassis
|
||||
type of the system. This can be used to determine whether
|
||||
the local system is a laptop, desktop, handset or
|
||||
tablet. This information may either be configured by the
|
||||
user/vendor or is automatically determined from ACPI and DMI
|
||||
information if possible.
|
||||
|
||||
* A number of PolicyKit actions are now bound together with
|
||||
"imply" rules. This should simplify creating UIs because
|
||||
many actions will now authenticate similar ones as well.
|
||||
|
||||
* Unit files learnt a new condition ConditionACPower= which
|
||||
may be used to conditionalize a unit depending on whether an
|
||||
AC power source is connected or not, of whether the system
|
||||
is running on battery power.
|
||||
|
||||
* systemctl gained a new "is-failed" verb that may be used in
|
||||
shell scripts and suchlike to check whether a specific unit
|
||||
is in the "failed" state.
|
||||
|
||||
* The EnvironmentFile= setting in unit files now supports file
|
||||
globbing, and can hence be used to easily read a number of
|
||||
environment files at once.
|
||||
|
||||
* systemd will no longer detect and recognize specific
|
||||
distributions. All distribution-specific #ifdeffery has been
|
||||
removed, systemd is now fully generic and
|
||||
distribution-agnostic. Effectively, not too much is lost as
|
||||
a lot of the code is still accessible via explicit configure
|
||||
switches. However, support for some distribution specific
|
||||
legacy configuration file formats has been dropped. We
|
||||
recommend distributions to simply adopt the configuration
|
||||
files everybody else uses now and convert the old
|
||||
configuration from packaging scripts. Most distributions
|
||||
already did that. If that's not possible or desirable,
|
||||
distributions are welcome to forward port the specific
|
||||
pieces of code locally from the git history.
|
||||
|
||||
* When logging a message about a unit systemd will now always
|
||||
log the unit name in the message meta data.
|
||||
|
||||
* localectl will now also discover system locale data that is
|
||||
not stored in locale archives, but directly unpacked.
|
||||
|
||||
* logind will no longer unconditionally use framebuffer
|
||||
devices as seat masters, i.e. as devices that are required
|
||||
to be existing before a seat is considered preset. Instead,
|
||||
it will now look for all devices that are tagged as
|
||||
"seat-master" in udev. By default framebuffer devices will
|
||||
be marked as such, but depending on local systems other
|
||||
devices might be marked as well. This may be used to
|
||||
integrate graphics cards using closed source drivers (such
|
||||
as NVidia ones) more nicely into logind. Note however, that
|
||||
we recommend using the open source NVidia drivers instead,
|
||||
and no udev rules for the closed-source drivers will be
|
||||
shipped from us upstream.
