Nothing I can find. The latest release has a “breaking changes” section but that is nothing unusual. All software has breaking changes from time to time and should be addressed by your distro maintainers.
I guess it’s that the versions aren’t in ${major}.${minor}.${patch} format, but just a continuous number. But who tf cares, it’s human readable and any competent version comparing tool (eg. pacman’s vercmp, I use arch btw) should handle it fine, considering they also need to handle git’s much more annoying commit version thingy.
On systemd… first i am hearing about this. Am I in danger?
Same. I’m on Debian tho so I’ve got ~6 months until it affects me :D
What happened?

There absolutely are minor versions, but no patch releases. E.g. https://github.com/systemd/systemd/releases/tag/v256.9 which includes no new functionalities, as these are limited to major releases
…about what?
Well it’s a new systemd release so probably.
