+          Journal messages can be forwarded to remote systems, without using a syslog daemon.  The <package>systemd-journal-remote</package> and <package>systemd-journal-upload</package> packages provide receiver and sender daemons.  Communication is done over HTTPS.

+    <para>
+      Two new security-related options are now available to limit long-running services that do not require access to physical devices or the network.
+    </para>
+    <para>
+      The <literal>PrivateDevices</literal> setting, when set to <literal>yes</literal>, provides the service with a private, minimal <filename class="devicefile">/dev</filename> that does not include physical devices. This allows long-running services to have limited access, increasing security.
+    </para>
+    <para>
+      The <literal>PrivateNetwork</literal> setting, when set to <literal>yes</literal>, provides the service with a network isolated to only a loopback interface.  This ensures that long-running services that do not require network access are cut off from the network.
