7
8 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64 - enddef is obsolete, use "end" instead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

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....
