systemd, a system and service manager for Linux, compatible with SysV and LSB init scripts, that provides aggressive parallelization capabilities and uses socket and D-Bus activation for starting services, is now at version 205.

“Let this one be known as the 'dynamic' release, where things became dynamic! Or call it the 'cgroups' release, where we took possession of the cgroup tree!” stated Lennart Poettering on the official mailing list.

systemd has been adopted by a lot of distributions, including Fedora, Frugalware, Mageia, OpenSuSE, Arch Linux, Chakra Linux, Gentoo, and even Debian.

Highlights of systemd 205:

• Two new unit types have been added, Scopes and Slices; • A new concept of "transient" units has been introduced; • logind has been updated; • A new mini-daemon "systemd-machined" has been added;

A detailed changelog of the new release is available in the mailing list.
