[3.0][UNRELEASED] - 2016-XX-YY
[3.0][UNRELEASED] - 2017-10-YY
------------------------------
Major release, support for conditions/dependencies between services,
optional built-in watchdog daemon, optional built-in getty, optional
built-in standard inetd services like echo server, chargen, datetime,
etc. Native support for `/etc/network/interfaces`, overhauled new
configure based build system, logging to `/dev/kmsg` before syslogd has
started, improved support for Linux distributions, ...
### Changes
#### -rc3
* Added basic code of conduct covenant to project
* Added contribution guidelines document
* Removed `finit.conf` option `check DEV`, replaced entirely by automated
call to `fsck` for each device listed in `/etc/fstab`
* Removed deprecated and confusing `startx` and `user` settings. It is
strongly recommended to instead use xdm/gdb/lightdm etc.
* Add support for `initctl log <SVC>`, shows last 10 lines from syslog
* Add `initctl cond dump` for debugging conditions
* Ensure plugins always have a default name, file name
* Reorganization, move all source files to a `src/` sub-directory
* Add support for `initctl <list|enable|disable> <SVC>`, much needed by
distributions. See [doc/distro.md](doc/distro.md) for details
* Remove `UNUSED()` macro, mentioned here because it may have been used
by external plugin developers. Set `-Wno-unused-parameter` instead
* New table headings in `initctl`, using `top` style inverted text
* Allow `initctl show` to use full screen width for service descriptions
* New `HOOK_BANNER` for plugins to override the default `banner()`
* Allow loading TTYs from `/etc/finit.d`
* Improvements to built-in getty, ignore signals like `SIGINT`,
`SIGHUP`, support Ctrl-U to erase to beginning of line
* Add TTY `nowait` and `noclear` options
* Allow using both built-in getty and external getty:
#### -rc2
tty [12345] /dev/ttyAMA0 115200 noclear vt220
tty [12345] /sbin/getty -L 115200 /dev/ttyAMA0 vt100
tty [12345] /sbin/agetty -L ttyAMA0 115200 vt100 nowait
* Silent boot is now the default, use `--enable-progress` to get the old
Finit style process progress. I.e., `--enable-silent` is no more
* Support for `configure --enable-emergency-shell`, debug-only mode
* Support for a fallback shell on console if none of the configured TTYs
can be started
can be started, `configure --enable-fallback-shell`
* All debug messages to console when Finit `--debug` is enabled
* Prevent login, by touching `/etc/nologin`, during runlevel changes
* A more orderly shutdown. On reboot/halt/poweroff Finit now properly

* Add support for `poweroff`
* Add support for a built-in miniature watchdog daemon

#### -rc1
* Manage service states based on user defined conditions
* Manage dependencies between services, w/ conditions (pidfile plugin)
* Manage service dependenceis on network events (netlink plugin)
* Manage service dependencies on network events (netlink plugin)
* Support for dynamically reloading Finit configuration at runtime

### Fixes
* Fix race-condition at configuration reload due to too low resolution.
Thanks to Mattias Walström, Westermo
* Fix to handle long process (PID) dependency chains, re-run reconf
callback until no more applications are in flux.
Thanks to Mattias Walström, Westermo
* Clear `reconf` condition when `initctl reload` has finished
* Skip automatic reload of `/etc/finit.d/*.conf` files when changing
runlevel to halt or reboot
* Fix issue #54: Allow halt and poweroff commands even if watchdog is enabled
* Fix issue #56: Check existence of device before trying to start getty
* Fix issue #60: `initctl` should display error and return error code
for non-existing services should the operator try to start/stop them.
* Fix issue #61: Reassert `net/*` conditions after `initctl reload`
* Fix issue #64: Skip `fsck` on already mounted devices
* Fix issue #66: Log rotate and gzip `/var/log/wtmp`, created by Finit
* Fix issue #72: Check `ifup` exists before trying to bring up networking,
also set `$PATH` earlier to simplify `run()` et al -- no longer any need
to use absolute paths for system tools called from Finit. Thanks to crazy
* Fix issue #73: Remove double `ntohl()` in inetd handling, prevents matches.
Thanks to Petrus Hellgren, Westermo
* Fix issue #76: Reap zombie processes in emergency shell mode
* Fix issue #80: FTBFS on Arch Linux, missing `stdarg.h` in `helpers.h`,
thanks to Jörg Krause
* Fix issue #81: Workaround for systems w/o SYSV shm IPC support in kernel
* Always collect bootstrap-only tasks when done, we will never re-run them.
Also, make sure to never reload bootstrap-only tasks at runtime
* Remove two second block (!) of Finit when stopping TTYs
