     25          AF_INET and AF_INET6 are dropped from RestrictAddressFamilies= in
    2626          systemd-logind.service. Since v235, IPAddressDeny=any has been set to

    4949          tmpfiles.d/ lines referencing the /var/run/ directory. It will

     77          systemd-resolved now supports DNS-over-TLS. It's still
    7878          turned off by default, use DNSOverTLS=opportunistic to turn it on in

     83          systemd-resolved.service and systemd-networkd.service now set
    8484          DynamicUser=yes. The users systemd-resolve and systemd-network are

    8686
    87         * The systemd-resolve tool has been renamed to resolvectl (it also
     87          The systemd-resolve tool has been renamed to resolvectl (it also
    8888          remains available under the old name, for compatibility), and its

     92          The resolvectl/systemd-resolve tool also provides 'resolvconf'
    9393          compatibility. It may be symlinked under the 'resolvconf' name, in
    9494          which case it will take arguments and input compatible with the
    9595          Debian and FreeBSD resolvconf tool.
    9696
    97         * Support for suspend-then-hibernate has been added, i.e. a sleep mode
     97          Support for suspend-then-hibernate has been added, i.e. a sleep mode
    9898          where the system initially suspends, and after a time-out resumes and

    101         * networkd's ClientIdentifier= now accepts a new option "duid-only". If
     101          networkd's ClientIdentifier= now accepts a new option "duid-only". If

     104          The nss-systemd glibc NSS module will now enumerate dynamic users and
    105105          groups in effect. Previously, it could resolve UIDs/GIDs to user
    106106          names/groups and vice versa, but did not support enumeration.

    109109          byte threshold value. All journal objects larger than this threshold
    110110          will be compressed, smaller ones will not. Previously this threshold
    111111          was not configurable and set to 512.

    129         * When hibernating, systemd will now inform the kernel of the image
     129          When hibernating, systemd will now inform the kernel of the image
    130130          write offset, on kernels new enough to support this. This means swap
    131131          files should work for hibernation now.
    132132
    133         * When loading unit files, systemd will now look for drop-in unit files
     133          When loading unit files, systemd will now look for drop-in unit files
    134134          extensions in additional places. Previously, for a unit file name
    135135          "foo-bar-baz.service" it would look for dropin files in

     148          Unit files and other configuration files that support specifier
    149149          expansion now understand another three new specifiers: %T and %V will
    150150          resolve to /tmp and /var/tmp respectively, or whatever temporary
    … …  
    152152          /etc (for system units) or $XDG_CONFIG_HOME (for user units).
    153153

     154          The ExecStart= lines of unit files are no longer required to
    155155          reference absolute paths. If non-absolute paths are specified the
    156156          specified binary name is searched within the service manager's

    161         * Units gained a new load state "bad-setting", which is used when a
     161          Units gained a new load state "bad-setting", which is used when a
    162162          unit file was loaded, but contained fatal errors which prevent it
    163163          from being started (for example, a service unit has been defined
    164164          lacking both ExecStart= and ExecStop= lines).
    165165
    166         * coredumpctl's "gdb" verb has been renamed to "debug", in order to
     166          coredumpctl's "gdb" verb has been renamed to "debug", in order to
    167167          support alternative debuggers, for example lldb. The old name
    168168          continues to be available however, for compatibility reasons. Use the
