[ 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.
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)

* Next release will be 2.89dsf.
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.
