Zbigniew J'drzejewski-Szmek has announced the release of systemd 230, a major update of the modern init system adopted by various GNU/Linux operating systems.

It looks like releasing a new version of systemd takes a few good months, and systemd 230 comes approximately three months from the release of systemd 229, whose main attraction was systemd-resolved, the DNS resolver service, which could be used as a DNSSEC validating stub resolver.

Well, guess what, systemd-resolved remains the main attraction of the systemd 230 release, and it now comes with the DNSSEC (Domain Name System Security Extensions) feature turned on by default, when using it in the "allow-downgrade" mode.
