1 root 1.2 - enlarge dmesg buffer size
2     - add portmap facility
3     - oh man, the english in this file is horrible
4     - SYSV_PRI == 0 -> do not overwrite builtin facilities
5     with sysv scripts.
6    
7 root 1.1 1.1 Sat Dec 7 22:47:17 CET 2002
8     - fixed clean_misc to only remove files, not dirs, from /var/{run,pid}.
9     - renamed rcdir to RCDIR and changed default to /etc.
10     - updated rc.values.isl.
11     - new variables SYSV_EXEC and SYSV_FAC, which default to $SYSVINIT.
12     - SYSV_FAC makes all sysvinit-facilities available as normal facilities.
13    
14     1.0 Sun Oct 20 15:43:54 CEST 2002
15     - updated safe_remount to work better and with more kernels.
16     - renamed shinit.c to lmainit.c.
17     - updated example rc.values.
18     - updated to bash-2.05b, which renamed functions (for good reasons!).
19     - "sh"-facility now executes command on start AND stop, prefix
20     with + and - to suppress.
21    
22     0.9 Sat Nov 17 18:13:06 CET 2001
23     - safe_eval (used to execute many shell commands)
24     no longer eval'ualates it's arguments.
25    
26     0.8 Tue Sep 25 02:35:18 CEST 2001
27     - new dhcpd, rpc_statd facilities.
28     - /var/pid changed to /var/run.
29     - new facility automount that parses /etc/auto.master.
30     - Lukas Grunwald kindly contributed quota.fac.
31     - support for raidtools.
32     - defalias now correctly creates links in mklinks.
33     - added my personal tmp-cleaning script.
34    
35     0.7 Wed Jan 31 14:34:23 CET 2001
36     - safe_remount::umount now tries to umount even read-only filesystems.
37     NOTE: safe_remount will *still* leave filesystems mounted only read-only!
38     - most absolute paths removed
39     - facility now supports --help/--version/--list args
40     (undocumented in 0.6)
41     - run_daemon is now known as daemonize
42     - simpledaemon now uses eval instead of run_daemon, so
43     your command MUST fork itself (use daemonize)
44     - major decrease in pid usage, might be faster or slower (set COALESCE=0
45     for even more savings).
46     - boot with SINGLESTEP=1 on your commandline to single-step
47     through all runlevel changes
48     - most settings (e.g. CONSOLE) can now be overriden from the
49     kernel commandline
50     - CONSOLE is now inherited from init (I highly recommend to set it to
51     CONSOLE=/dev/tty1 in your rc.values as init likes to start lma-init
52     below X....)
53     - interesting new facility userrc ;)
54    
55     0.6 Wed Dec 27 23:36:48 CET 2000
56     - cosmetic changes, bugfixes
57     - when COALESCE=1 (default), lma-init will not stop and
58     start daemons needlessly when switching runlevels.
59     - new shinit.so command "str2hex"
60     - major speed improvements
61     - inet1 is now known as hostname
62     - inet2 is now known as fw
63     - enddef is obsolete, use "end" instead
64     - facilities can now set $ERR to an error message
65    
66     0.5
67     - more fixes and updates to the facilities
68     - facilities can now be prefixed with + or -
69     to allow for asymmetric calls (e.g. start sshd before network
70     is up but kill it before it goes down)
71    
72     0.4
73     - small bugfixes (many)
74     - a lot more and more useful facilities.
75    
76     0.3
77     - small bugfixes
78     - added new facilities by Lukas Grunwald <lukas@dnx.de>
79     - most services now expect non-standard programs (mysqld, smbd etc..)
80     in the current PATH, so better set it.
81     - added lpd facility
82    
83     0.2
84     - fix facility window resizing bug
85     - updated inittab
86     - updated reset(), new variable RESET, to reset the screen after booting

89     - added SYSTEMSTOP to reboot (no umount otherwise)
90     - added usleep builtin
91     - added syncalot::3 to runlevel 0, due to too many complaints
92     of laptop users where powering down too early....
93

106    
107     - alternative logo (use PENGUIN=2), which is smaller
