systemd 245 released

Systemd 245 is out. As usual, the list of new features is long; perhapsthe one that has gained the most attention is systemd-homed:

A small new service systemd-homed.service has been added, that may be used to securely manage home directories with built-in encryption. The complete user record data is unified with the home directory, thus making home directories naturally migratable.

There is also a new database for holding user and group data and asystemd-repart tool for the management of partitions on storage-devices atboot time.
