Notable changes include: + +* `systemd-resolved` provides a system-level DNS cache that can substantially improve performance for applications that do not cache their own DNS results; +* `systemd-resolved` allows correct handling of split DNS scenarios such as when VPNs are in use; +* `/etc/resolv.conf` will now be managed by systemd-resolved rather than by NetworkManager; +* `/etc/resolv.conf` will no longer be read when performing name resolution using `glibc`; however, it is still provided for compatibility with applications that manually read this file to perform name resolution; +* Writing to `/etc/resolv.conf` will no longer work as expected. +
