+ * 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.

* Mention new home on Savannah in README.
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.

* Add the comment from Andrea Arcangeli about the correct
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 changes for Debian bug #68621 - Add PAM support for programs spawned
- by init on the console like sulogin. Based on patch by Topi Miettinen.
- * Test out PAM support, extend PAM support by providing environment
- is specified by /etc/pam.d/init
+ * 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
- * Provide a simply /etc/pam.d/init as without it will not work (sigh!)
* Extend sulogin to support additional encryption algorithms
* Re-enable maintenance message of sulogin
- * Remove PAM session start part from init 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).
* 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
