- update to 2.1.1:
  + Introducing new feature: automatic service restart after an update
    A new option allows to restart services, that were affected by 
    an update, automatically.
    Specific services can be excluded from this automatic restart (like udev), if
    they are known to cause problems. On the other hand, this feature results in
    more secure systems, as services that use updated libraries (for example) will
    be restarted automatically after an update. This happens currently not
    automatically - services are only restarted if their packages get updated. If a
    library (like ssl for example) that is used by the service gets updated, the
    running service still uses the old version until restarted. The options
    RESTART_SERVICES (default: no) and IGNORE_SERVICES_FROM_RESTART in
    /etc/sysconfig/suse-online-update are used to configure this feature.
    IGNORE_SERVICES_FROM_RESTART can contain a list of services (separated by
    whitespace) that are excluded from a restart. This is useful for services that
    are known to be problematic (like udev) or need to be handled in another way
    (like services that run in an HA setup).
