14 DAY TRIAL // Immediately after announcing the release of systemd 223 and details about the first-ever systemd conference (systemd.conf) at the end of July 2015, the systemd developers, through Kay Sievers, published a new release of the controversial init system and service manager used in numerous GNU/Linux distributions.
According to the short announcement, systemd 224 is a small maintenance release that mostly fixes important issues with the KDBUS D-Bus IPC implementation for the Linux kernel, but it also merges the systemd-efi-boot-generator functionality into systemd-gpt-auto-generator and adds Group Policy support for vxlan devices in systemd-networkd.
The latter can be enabled through the new 'GroupPolicyExtension=' boolean configuration option. "Here's the next version of systemd, v224," says Kay Sievers. "This is mostly a bugfix release, containing many important fixes for kdbus. [...] Please don't forget to sign up quickly to systemd.conf 2015, if you plan to attend. There's only a limited number of tickets available. For details see: https://systemd.events/"
