Feature-Packed systemd 257 Nears Release With RC3 Availability

([systemd] 3 Hours Ago systemd 257-rc3)


Systemd 257 is nearing release as the next major feature release for this widely-used init system and software suite on Linux systems.

Systemd 257 brings [1]a ton of new changes including greater use of Varlink IPC, the kernel's Ctrl+Alt+Delete handling is now re-enabled during late shutdown, systemd-boot menu can now be controlled via volume up/down rocker presses, a new "systemd-sbsign" tool for signing EFI PE binaries, and much more. Systemd 257-rc2 less than two weeks ago also [2].

Ending out today is [3]systemd 257-rc3 as the third and perhaps final release candidate before systemd 257 stable is declared. Systemd 257-rc3 brings various fixes, hardware database "hwdb" updates, possible memory leak fixes, translation updates, and other routine work for this late stage of the development cycle and without any last-minute shiny features.

Those wishing to build systemd 257-rc3 from source or learn more about systemd 257 in general can do so via [4]systemd on GitHub .

"And kids... learn something from Susie and Eddie.
If you think there's a maniacal psycho-geek in the
basement:
1) Don't give him a chance to hit you on the
head with an axe!
2) Flee the premises... even if you're in your
underwear.
3) Warn the neighbors and call the police.
But whatever else you do... DON'T GO DOWN IN THE DAMN BASEMENT!"
