+* Changes in 0.9.0 (since 0.8.3)

+
+** Distribution
+
+*** New extensible service composition API
+
+The operating system service API in (gnu services) has been completely
+rewritten, significantly improving extensibility and modularity, while
+providing a framework that makes it easy to reason about service composition.
+Consequently, several sources of redundancy and confusion in

+Composition” in the manual.

+*** ‘operating-system’ has a new ‘locale-libcs’ field
+*** New services: ‘nginx-service’, ‘udisks-service’, ‘guix-publish-service’
+*** ‘%desktop-services’ now includes Polkit, GeoClue, elogind, UDisks, and more
+*** ‘dbus-daemon’ now has proper support for lazy service activation
+*** ‘wicd-service’ automatically adds Wicd to the system profile
+*** ‘slim-service’ automatically adds xterm to the system profile
+*** hydra.gnu.org now provides substitutes for ‘armhf-linux’
+*** /run/systemd is mounted as tmpfs by default, for use by elogind
+*** ‘glibc’ package no longer contains Bash in its bin/ directory
+*** libc now looks for locale data in a versioned sub-directory
