systemd-229-for-all-linuxIt has been three long months since systemd 228 was released to the open-source community, and today we’re glad to inform you that the controversial software received a new major update.

systemd 229 has been announced by its creator, Lennart Poettering, earlier today, February 11, and it packs a lot of new features, as well as the usual under-the-hood tweaks and bugfixes. The main attraction of this release, though, is systemd-resolved, the DNS resolver service, which has received quite a bunch of new features. Among the most important ones is support for using it as a DNSSEC validating stub resolver.
