+ [ Werner Fink ]
+ * Do not forget room for last NULL of new environment (was
+ local bug 35866)
+ * Handle deleted binaries in pidof (was local bug #34992)
+ * Allow init to delete extra environment variables (was local bug
+ #35858)
+ * Avoid that init double environment variables for its childs
+ (was local bug #35855)
+ * Remove man-db tag for encoding for canonical man
+ * Sulogin: try to detect the real device(s) used for the system console
+ /dev/console if but only if /dev/console is used. On Linux this can
+ be more than one device, e.g. a serial line as well as a virtual
+ console as well as a simple printer.
+ * Fix counting message lines in wall. Patch from Petr Lautrbach.
+ * Fix bad printf conversion specifier in wall. Patch from Sébastien Luttringer.
+ * Add patches from Openwall project. Thanks goes to Solar Designer.
+ * Add code to detect the system consoles with the help of the
+ new /proc/consoles files of linux kernel 2.6.38+
+ * Try to make utmpdump IPv6 valid, change based on suggestion from
+ Navdeep Bhatia (see local bug #32429)
+ * Fix signal and alarm handling based on the patch from Florent Viard.
+ (was local bug #32304)
+ * Add fix for Redhat bug #573346: last incorrectly displays IPv6
+ addresses (was local bug #29497)
+ * Correct fix for Debian bug #547073: use IUTF8 flag if defined
+ and if already set to make sure the utf-8 flag is not cleared
+ from the tty. Patch from Samuel Thibault.
+ * Include limits.h in killall.c to enforce definition of PATH_MAX
+ * Fix sysvinit bug #29758 Linker invocation should not contain
+ headers. Change based on patch from Elias Pipping.
+ * Add fix for Debian bug #580272: use return value 1 of
+ is_selinux_enabled() to determine if SELinux is enabled,
+ otherwise initialize SELinux and load the policy. Patch from
+ Petter Reinholdtsen.
+ * Make quotes visible in example of the manual page of fstab-decode
+ * Sulogin: enforce reconnection of stdin/stdout/stderr if a device
+ was specified.
+ * Sulogin: if zero is read at reading the passwd guess it's done.
+ * Sulogin: respect byte order that is do not mix chars and ints
+ * Shutdown: use PATH_DEFAULT as suggested by Paul Arthur in local bug #36101
+ * Killall5/pidof: handle strange names of executables (local bug #36252)
+ * Sulogin: be aware the crypt(3) may fail (local bug #36313)
+
+ [ Petter Reinholdtsen ]
+ * Next release will be 2.89dsf.
+ * Add #ifdef in bootlogd.c to avoid gcc warnings about unused
+ variable on non-linux platforms.
+ * Only set the VSWTC field for termios in init if it is available,
+ to get the source building on FreeBSD.
+ * Add some code to be able to detect programs even as user with
+ kernel 3.0 and above
+ * Improve message printed when signaling processes to stop.
+ Patch from Matias A. Fonzo at the dragora project.
+ * Rename internal functions warn() and shutdown() in the shutdown
+ binary to avoid surprising dynamic library name resolution
+ conflict with NSS modules. Patch from Richard Tollerton.
+ * Try harder to find libcrypt.*, even if there is no static library
+ available. Also look in /usr/lib/*/ for the library, to handle
+ Debian multiarch systems. Based on patch from Andrew Gregory.
+ * Adjust included headers to be compatible with the musl C
+ library. Patch from Matias A. Fonzo and Dragora.
+ * Move dovoid() macro from #ifdef__GLIBC__ to #ifdef __linux__,
+ to match the condutions of the place where it is used. Thanks
+ to Matias A. Fonzo for noticing.
+ * Define _XOPEN_SOURCE when building to get crypt() from <unistd.h>
+ instead of using <crypt.h> in sulogin.c, to get the source building
+ with the musl C library.
+ * Use sysconf(_SC_SYMLOOP_MAX) instead of MAXSYMLINKS. If sysconf
+ returns an error, fall back to MAXSYMLINKS on platforms that
+ define it. Fixes build on Hurd. Patch from Justus Winter and
+ Debian.
+ * Adjust makefile to make it easier to link all binaries statically.
+ Patch from Matias A. Fonzo and Dragora.
+ * Rewrite findtty() in bootlogd.c to not chance working directory, to
+ reduce the amount of failure that can happin in that function.
+ * Adapt bootlogd TIOCCONS call to kfreebsd. Patch from Mats Erik
+ Andersson and Debian.
+ * Document length limit for the process field in the inittab. Patch
+ from Johannes Truschnigg and Debian.
+ * Fix typo in fstab-decode(8) font escape. Patch from Bjarni Ingi
+ Gislason and Debian.
+ * Port ifdown.c to FreeBSD. Patch from Guillem Jover and Debian.
+ * Drop dsf part from version number. It no longer make sense to keep.
+ * Remove obsolete/ directory from tarball. None of it have been useful
+ for many years.
+ * Make it possible to specify the initctl path as a compile time
+ define INIT_FIFO.
+ * Use narrowly scoped file descriptor for handling opened TTY in
+ spawn(). Patch from Michał Kulling.
+ * Check exit code from dup() in spawn() and log error if it fail.
+ Patch from Michał Kulling.

* Mention new home on Savannah in README.
* Revert change from Fedora/RedHat where the now obsolete command
INIT_CMD_CHANGECONS was introduced. Based on feedback and patch
Patch from Mike Frysinger and Gentoo.
* Sync shutdown manual page and usage information. Patch from Mike
Frysinger and Gentoo.

+ * Fix race condition in utmp writing. Patch from Gil Kloepfer via
+ Mike Frysinger and Gentoo.
+ * Rewrite findtty() in bootlogd to recursively search /dev/ for the
+ correct device, to handle terminal devices for example in /dev/pty/.
+ Patch from Debian.
+ * Make sure bootlogd findpty() returns an error value when it fails to
+ find a usable pty. Patch from Rob Leslie via Debian.
+ * Make sure bootlogd fflush() every line, even if asked not to flush
+ to disk using fdatasync(). Patch from Scott Gifford via Debian.
+ * Add compatibility code to handle old path "/etc/powerstatus" for a
+ while.
+ * Incude definition for MNT_DETACH which is missing in older GNU libc
+ headers.
+ * Do not strip binaries before installing them, to make it easier to
+ get binaries with debug information installed.
+
+ [ Werner Fink ]
+ * Add the comment from Andrea Arcangeli about the correct
+ place of setting the default childhandler within spawn().
+ * Make sure that newline is printed out for last(1) even
+ if an utmp record entry is truncated.
+ * Check if utmp not only exists but also is writable and delay
+ writing out of the utmp runlevel record if utmp is not writable.
+ * Be able to find libcrypt also on 64 bit based architectures.
+ * Add option -w to the last command to display the full user and
+ domain names in the output. Patch from Petr Lautrbach.
+ * Add a manual page for utmpdump as this tool is sometimes
+ very useful even if not intended for normal use.
+ * Use paths.h macros for wall
+ * Change path "/etc/powerstatus" to "/var/run/powerstatus"
+ * Detected also removable block devices at halt/reboot to be able
+ to flush data and send them the ATA standby command. This should
+ avoid data loss on USB sticks and other removable block devices.
+ * Flush block devices on halt/reboot if not done by the kernel.
+ * Set SHELL to /bin/sh in the environmant of shutdown.
+ * Retry to write out shutdown messages if interrupted.
+ * pidof/killall5 - make omit pid list a dynamic one.
+ * pidof - provide '-n' to skip stat(2) syscall on network based FS.
+ * init - avoid compiler warnings
+ * init - initialize console by using the macros from ttydefaults.h
+ * init - add the possiblity to ignore further interrupts from keyboard
+ * init - add the possiblity to set sane terminal line settings
+ * sulogin - add the possibility to reset the terminal io
+ * Fix some minor problems
+ * init - enable is_selinux_enabled() to detect selinuxfs
+ * Add fix for Debian bug #536574 -- Can be enabled by -DACCTON_OFF
+ * Add helper program fstab-decode to make it easier to handle
+ /etc/mtab content. Patch by Miloslav Trmac and Fedora.
+ * Add fix for Debian bug #335023 - Make sure TERM is set on FreeBSD.
+ * Add fix for Debian bug #374038 - Make it clear that shutdown -c can
+ only cancel a waiting shutdown, not an active one.
+ * Add note to pidof manual page about the use of readlink(2). Patch by
+ Bill Nottingham and Fedora.
+ * Add PAM patch contrib/notify-pam-dead.patch based on Debian bug
+ #68621, which will add PAM support for programs spawned by init on
+ the console like sulogin. Based on patch by Topi Miettinen. This
+ patch is not applied by default yet while we review its
+ usefullness. It is only helpful for session handling, as sulogin
+ do not use and will not use a PAM conv() function. The current
+ sulogin is able to handle DES as well as MD5, SHA, and Blowfish
+ encrypted passwords due using getpwnam(3).
+ * Move utmp/wtmp before the execvp() in spawn() to be sure to
+ use the correct pid even on a controlling tty
+ * Remaining problem is that the pid of the second fork() for
+ getting a controlling tty isn't that reported by spawn()
+ * Re-enable writting utmp/wtmp for boot scripts
+ * Extend sulogin to support additional encryption algorithms
+ * Re-enable maintenance message of sulogin
+ * Enable the sulogin fallback password check to handle MD5, SHA, and
+ Blowfish encrypted passwords in case of getpwnam(3) fails.
+ * sulogin picking the SELinux context was broken. Patch by Daniel Walsh
