Systemd 254 has been released. As usual, there is a long list of changes,
including a new list-paths command for systemctl, the
ability to send POSIX signals to services, a “soft reboot” feature that
restarts user space while leaving the kernel in place, improved support for
“confidential
virtual machines“, and a lot more.

The announcement also notes the support for split-/usr systems
will be removed in the next release, and support for version-one control
groups and for System V service scripts will be deleted in the near
future as well.
