Hi This is primarily a bugfix release, but we also changed the way we provide release sources. We no longer build tarballs but instead only provide git archives. The build-system has been adjusted to make sure git-archives will be the same as tarballs, apart from the pre-built autotools scripts. Thus, you're free to continue building tarballs if you require them. You can find the git-archives over at github:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/archive/v222.tar.gz This release includes a wide range of fixes, most notably to fix bugs in kdbus backwards compatibility handling. Furthermore, we removed old udev code that is obsolete or moved to another location. Please also note that we now moved python-systemd into a separated repository. We will very likely drop it in the next release, which will be v223. You can find python-systemd over at github: https://github.com/systemd/python-systemd CHANGES WITH 222: * udev does not longer support the WAIT_FOR_SYSFS= key in udev rules. There are no known issues with current sysfs, and udev does not need or should be used to work around such bugs. * udev does no longer enable USB HID power management. Several reports indicate, that some devices cannot handle that setting. * The udev accelerometer helper was removed. The functionality is now fully included in iio-sensor-proxy. But this means, older iio-sensor-proxy versions will no longer provide accelerometer/orientation data with this systemd version. Please upgrade iio-sensor-proxy to version 1.0. * networkd gained a new configuration option IPv6PrivacyExtensions= which enables IPv6 privacy extensions (RFC 4941, "Privacy Extensions for Stateless Address") on selected networks. * For the sake of fewer build-time dependencies and less code in the main repository, the python bindings are about to be removed in the next release. A new repository has been created which accommodates the code from now on, and we kindly ask distributions to create a separate package for this. The removal will take place in v223. https://github.com/systemd/python-systemd Contributions from: Abdo Roig-Maranges, Andrew Eikum, Bastien Nocera, Cédric Delmas, Christian Hesse, Christos Trochalakis, Daniel Mack, daurnimator, David Herrmann, Dimitri John Ledkov, Eric Biggers, Eric Cook, Felipe Sateler, Geert Jansen, Gerd Hoffmann, Gianpaolo Macario, Greg Kroah-Hartman, Iago López Galeiras, Jan Alexander Steffens (heftig), Jan Engelhardt, Jay Strict, Kay Sievers, Lennart Poettering, Markus Knetschke, Martin Pitt, Michael Biebl, Michael Marineau, Michal Sekletar, Miguel Bernal Marin, Peter Hutterer, Richard Maw, rinrinne, Susant Sahani, Thomas Hindoe Paaboel Andersen, Tom Gundersen, Torstein Husebø, Vedran Miletić, WaLyong Cho, Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek -- Berlin, 2015-07-07 _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
