    More Java tools

This release comes with the |find-default-jvm| and |find-matching-jvm| 
tools, which will set up the |JAVA_HOME| environment variable to point 
to a default/matching JVM directory, using the FreeBSD/TrueOS and Debian 
conventions for locating JVM directories.  To match these, 
|convert-systemd-units| now recognizes |JVMDefault|, |JVMVersion|, 
|JVMOperatingSystem|, and |JVMManufacturer| extensions to the systemd 
unit file format.


    Tool improvements

|convert-systemd-units| now recognizes a |MachineEnvironment| extension 
to the systemd unit file format, which controls the generation of an 
invocation of |machineenv|.  It also now recognizes and translates 
|RDMAHCAHandlesMax| and |RDMAHCAObjectsMax| settings.

The |unshare| command now has flags for specifying process ID and user 
ID namespaces on Linux.

The |setup-machine-id| command now correctly falls back to the old D-Bus 
files on FreeBSD, which it had not been doing because of a bug.


    New system management features

In support of an initiative by Warner Losh, there is support for power 
cycling via hardware and a kernel that support it.

The system manager treats |SIGRTMIN+6|, unused in the systemd system, as 
a request to invoke a new |powercycle| service bundle; and 
|SIGRTMIN+16|, similarly unused, as the underlying actual powercycle 
request, which it translates to either |RB_POWERCYCLE| if it is present 
in the C library headers, or |RB_AUTOBOOT| if it is not. There is a new 
|system-control powercycle| subcommand, which defaults to sending these 
signals.

Note that the binary packages are currently built on a system that lacks 
|RB_POWERCYCLE| in the C library.

The compatibility |shutdown|, |reboot|, |halt|, and |poweroff| commands 
all now sport a new |-c|/|--powercycle| option.  There are new 
|fastpowercycle| and |powercycle| commands.  The |system-control init| 
subcommand now sports a new |c|/|C| argument, by analogy to |h|/|H|. And 
this is of course thus reflected automatically in the compatibility 
|telinit| command and the |initctl-read| server.


    Service bundles

Fixing an oversight in 1.35, the per-user |dbus| services are now 
renamed to |dbus-daemon| too.

There are a few more service bundles, including ones for |jenkins|, 
|apacheds|, |udisks2|, and |ndppd|.

The |linux-utmp| service bundle has been retired, in favour of a unified 
|utx| service bundle, which was previously FreeBSD-only, that operates 
across platforms.  In support of this, there is a new 
|login-update-utmpx| command, and a new |freebsd-shims| package that 
aliases that to the |utx| command on non-FreeBSD platforms.
