--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
Changes with 248 * `systemd-networkd` gained support for the "B.A.T.M.A.N.
advanced" wireless routing protocol that operates on ISO/OSI Layer 2 only and
uses ethernet frames to route/bridge packets. This encompasses a new `batadv`
netdev `Type=`, a new `[BatmanAdvanced]` section with a bunch of new settings in
`.netdev` files, and a new `BatmanAdvanced=` setting in `.network` files. *
`systemd.network` files gained a `[Network]` `RouteTable=` configuration switch
to select the routing policy table. `systemd.network` files gained a
`[RoutingPolicyRule]` `Type=` configuration switch (one of `blackhole`,
`unreachable`, `prohibit`). `systemd.network` files gained a
`[IPv6AcceptRA]` `RouteDenyList=` and `RouteAllowList=` settings to
ignore/accept route advertisements from routers matching specified prefixes. The
`DenyList=` setting has been renamed to `PrefixDenyList=` and a new
`PrefixAllowList=` option has been added. `systemd.network` files gained a
`[DHCPv6]` `UseAddress=` setting to optionally ignore the address provided in
the lease. `systemd.network` files gained a `[DHCPv6PrefixDelegation]`
`ManageTemporaryAddress=` switch. `systemd.network` files gained a new
`ActivationPolicy=` setting which allows configuring how the UP state of an
interface shall be managed, i.e. whether the interface is always upped, always
downed, or may be upped/downed by the user using `ip link set dev`. * The
default for the `Broadcast=` setting in `.network` files has slightly changed:
the broadcast address will not be configured for wireguard devices. *
`systemd.netdev` files gained a `[VLAN]` `Protocol=`, `IngressQOSMaps=`,
`EgressQOSMaps=`, and `[MACVLAN]` `BroadcastMulticastQueueLength=` configuration
options for VLAN packet handling. * `systemd-timesyncd` gained a new
`ConnectionRetrySec=` setting which configures the retry delay when trying to
contact servers. * `networkctl` now shows the link activation policy in
status.
