Systemd version 252 has been released. As usual, the list of changes islong. It includes a new systemd-measure tool for the calculation of PCRvalues and a bunch of infrastructure to use the result for disk encryption:

Net effect: if you boot a properly prepared kernel, TPM-bound disk encryption now defaults to be locked to kernels which carry PCR signatures from the same key pair. Example: if a hypothetical distro FooOS prepares its UKIs like this, TPM-based disk encryption is now - by default - bound to only FooOS kernels, and encrypted volumes bound to the TPM cannot be unlocked on kernels from other sources.

There's a lot more; see the announcement for all of the details.
