[$] Systemd heads for a big round-number release

The

systemd project is preparing for a new release.

Version 256-rc1 was released
on April 25 with a large number of changes and new features. Most of the
changes relate to security, easier configuration, unprivileged access to system
resources, or all three of these. Users of systemd will find setting up
containers — even without root access — much simpler and more secure.
