Post Syndicated from Lennart Poettering original https://0pointer.net/blog/announcing-systemd-v256.html

Yesterday evening we released systemd v256 into the wild. While other projects,
such as Firefox
are just about to leave the 7bit world and enter 8bit territory, we already
entered 9bit version territory! For details about the release, see our
announcement
mail.

In the weeks leading up to this release I have posted a series of serieses of
posts to Mastodon about key new features in this release. Mastodon has its
goods and its bads. Among the latter is probably that it isn’t that great for
posting listings of serieses of posts. Hence let me provide you with a list of
the relevant first post in the series of posts here:

• Post #1: v./ Directories
• Post #2: User-Scoped Encrypted Service Credentials
• Post #3: X_SYSTEMD_UNIT_ACTIVE= sd_notify() Messages
• Post #4: System-wide ProtectSystem=
• Post #5: run0 As sudo Replacement
• Post #6: System Credentials
• Post #7: Unprivileged DDI Mounts + Unprivileged systemd-nspawn
• Post #8: ssh into systemd-homed Accounts
• Post #9: systemd-vmspawn
• Post #10: Mutable systemd-sysext
• Post #11: Network Device Ownership
• Post #12: systemctl sleep
• Post #13: systemd-ssh-generator
• Post #14: systemd-cryptenroll without device argument
• Post #15: dlopen() ELF Metadata
• Post #16: Capsules

I intend to do a similar series of serieses of posts for the next systemd
release (v257), hence if you haven’t left tech Twitter for Mastodon yet, now is
the opportunity.

And while I have you: note that the All Systems Go 2024 Conference
(Berlin) Call for Papers ends 😲 THIS WEEK 🤯!
Hence, HURRY, and get your submissions in
now, for the best
low-level Linux userspace conference around!
