# User Rev Content
1 root 1.3 - added mount_sys to mount sysfs
2 root 1.2 - enlarge dmesg buffer size
3     - add portmap facility
4 root 1.3 - english in this file is horrible
5 root 1.2 - SYSV_PRI == 0 -> do not overwrite builtin facilities
6     with sysv scripts.
7    
8 root 1.1 1.1 Sat Dec 7 22:47:17 CET 2002
9     - fixed clean_misc to only remove files, not dirs, from /var/{run,pid}.
10     - renamed rcdir to RCDIR and changed default to /etc.
11     - updated rc.values.isl.
12     - new variables SYSV_EXEC and SYSV_FAC, which default to $SYSVINIT.
13     - SYSV_FAC makes all sysvinit-facilities available as normal facilities.
14    
15     1.0 Sun Oct 20 15:43:54 CEST 2002
16     - updated safe_remount to work better and with more kernels.
17     - renamed shinit.c to lmainit.c.
18     - updated example rc.values.
19     - updated to bash-2.05b, which renamed functions (for good reasons!).
20     - "sh"-facility now executes command on start AND stop, prefix
21     with + and - to suppress.
22    
23     0.9 Sat Nov 17 18:13:06 CET 2001
24     - safe_eval (used to execute many shell commands)
25     no longer eval'ualates it's arguments.
26    
27     0.8 Tue Sep 25 02:35:18 CEST 2001
28     - new dhcpd, rpc_statd facilities.
29     - /var/pid changed to /var/run.
30     - new facility automount that parses /etc/auto.master.
31     - Lukas Grunwald kindly contributed quota.fac.
32     - support for raidtools.
33     - defalias now correctly creates links in mklinks.
34     - added my personal tmp-cleaning script.
35    
36     0.7 Wed Jan 31 14:34:23 CET 2001
37     - safe_remount::umount now tries to umount even read-only filesystems.
38     NOTE: safe_remount will *still* leave filesystems mounted only read-only!
39     - most absolute paths removed
40     - facility now supports --help/--version/--list args
41     (undocumented in 0.6)
42     - run_daemon is now known as daemonize
43     - simpledaemon now uses eval instead of run_daemon, so
44     your command MUST fork itself (use daemonize)
45     - major decrease in pid usage, might be faster or slower (set COALESCE=0
46     for even more savings).
47     - boot with SINGLESTEP=1 on your commandline to single-step
48     through all runlevel changes
49     - most settings (e.g. CONSOLE) can now be overriden from the
50     kernel commandline
51     - CONSOLE is now inherited from init (I highly recommend to set it to
52     CONSOLE=/dev/tty1 in your rc.values as init likes to start lma-init
53     below X....)
54     - interesting new facility userrc ;)
55    
56     0.6 Wed Dec 27 23:36:48 CET 2000
57     - cosmetic changes, bugfixes
58     - when COALESCE=1 (default), lma-init will not stop and
59     start daemons needlessly when switching runlevels.
60     - new shinit.so command "str2hex"
61     - major speed improvements
62     - inet1 is now known as hostname
63     - inet2 is now known as fw
64     - enddef is obsolete, use "end" instead
65     - facilities can now set $ERR to an error message
66    
67     0.5
68     - more fixes and updates to the facilities
69     - facilities can now be prefixed with + or -
70     to allow for asymmetric calls (e.g. start sshd before network
71     is up but kill it before it goes down)
72    
73     0.4
74     - small bugfixes (many)
75     - a lot more and more useful facilities.
76    
77     0.3
78     - small bugfixes
79     - added new facilities by Lukas Grunwald <lukas@dnx.de>
80     - most services now expect non-standard programs (mysqld, smbd etc..)
81     in the current PATH, so better set it.
82     - added lpd facility
83    
84     0.2
85     - fix facility window resizing bug
86     - updated inittab
87     - updated reset(), new variable RESET, to reset the screen after booting
88     - scrolling region will be reset
89     - try to detach from the ctty for setsid builtin
90     - added SYSTEMSTOP to reboot (no umount otherwise)
91     - added usleep builtin
92     - added syncalot::3 to runlevel 0, due to too many complaints
93     of laptop users where powering down too early....
94

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