Previously, udev would read the kmod + databases to pre-generate dead device nodes based on meta + information contained in kernel modules, so that these would + be auto-loaded on access rather then at boot. As this + doesn't really have much to do with the exposing actual + kernel devices to userspace this has always been slightly + alien in the udev codebase. Following the new scheme kmod + will now generate a runtime snippet for tmpfiles from the + module meta information and it now is tmpfiles' job to the + create the nodes. This also allows overriding access and + other parameters for the nodes using the usual tmpfiles + facilities. As side effect this allows us to remove the + CAP_SYS_MKNOD capability bit from udevd entirely. + + * logind's device ACLs may now be applied to these "dead" + devices nodes too, thus finally allowing managed access to + devices such as /dev/snd/sequencer whithout loading the + backing module right-away. * A new RPM macro has been added that may be used to apply tmpfiles configuration during package installation. @@ -40,8 +56,8 @@ CHANGES WITH 206: * systemd-detect-virt and ConditionVirtualization= now can detect User-Mode-Linux machines (UML). - * journald will now log the effective capabilities set of - processes in the message metadata. + * journald will now implicitly log the effective capabilities + set of processes in the message metadata. * systemd-cryptsetup has gained support for TrueCrypt volumes. @@ -58,6 +74,29 @@ CHANGES WITH 206: scan code lists have been entirely replaced by a udev "keyboard" builtin and a hwdb data file. + * systemd will now honour the kernel's "quiet" command line + argument also during late shutdown, resulting in a + completely silent shutdown when used. + + * There's now an option to control the SO_REUSEPORT socket + option in .socket units. + + * Instance units will now automatically get a per-template + subslice of system.slice unless something else is explicitly + configured.
