Summary

systemd is a system and service manager that runs as PID 1 and starts

the rest of the system. It provides aggressive parallelization

capabilities, uses socket and D-Bus activation for starting services,

offers on-demand starting of daemons, keeps track of processes using

Linux control groups, maintains mount and automount points, and

implements an elaborate transactional dependency-based service control

logic. systemd supports SysV and LSB init scripts and works as a

replacement for sysvinit. Other parts of this package are a logging daemon,

utilities to control basic system configuration like the hostname,

date, locale, maintain a list of logged-in users and running

containers and virtual machines, system accounts, runtime directories

and settings, and daemons to manage simple network configuration,

network time synchronization, log forwarding, and name resolution.

- Use infinite timeouts for passwords during boot when JobTimeoutSec=0 - Some

tty utf8-mode fixes - Only send one auxillary fd set over dbus - Various

network-manager crash and spurious assert fixes - Do not remount network

filesystems ro during shutdown and unmount DM devices better - Fix cryptsetup

devices disappearing when used for btrfs - Fix assertions messages sometimes not

appearing during bootup/shutdown - Fix passing arguments over ssh (-H) - Fix

networks crash on MTU changes - Respect delay inhibitors in scheduled shutdowns

using logind - Send resume signal on failed sleep/shutdown from logind

(#1476313) - Make tmpfiles treat various errors more leniently and ignore autofs

paths - Load virtio_rng early - Fix cryptsetup generator usage in initramfs -Fix mounting of APIFSs using systemd-mount - Fix rfkill on some thinkpads - Fix

masking of template units - Honour quiet flag in more places - Fix crash when

removing EFI variables - Fix handling of persistent timer timestamps from the

future - Extend dbus timeouts to handle slow dbus daemon startup - Allow lines

of unlimited length in configuration files - Fix starting of units in emergency

mode - Make environment variable validation allow all shell variables - Fix

systemd-networkd issues when LinkLocalAddressing=no and DHCPServer=no - Fix

assertion triggered in timedatectl under Iranian locale - Fix systemd-resolved

DOS with crafted NSEC packets (LP#1725351) - Backport /etc/crypttab _netdev

feature from upstream (No need to reboot.)
