systemd 261-rc3 has been released, primarily containing bug fixes from earlier release candidates. The notable new addition is that individual systemd binaries now embed the dlopen ELF metadata note for their dlopen() dependencies. Previously, this metadata was only present on libsystemd-shared.so. This change allows packaging tools to reliably discover optional dependencies of individual binaries, improving how Linux distributions can split systemd components into multiple packages and manage dependencies more accurately.
