More than three months have passed since the release of systemd 231, during which Lennart Pottering and his team of over 100 developers managed to added even more exciting new features, as well as to improve existing functionality in the widely-used systemd init system. All these are now available as part of the systemd 232 release, and are coming soon to a distro near you. Looking at the release notes, which we’ve also attached at the end of the article for your viewing please, we can notice that systemd 232 sports a total of 60 improvements, and it looks like the prominent ones are support for VeraCrypt encrypted partitions, hardening of various systemd services, and support for dynamically creating users during a service’s lifetime.
