1.10 (2014-11-27)
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
|
||||
Major bug fix release.
|
||||
|
||||
* Project now relies on static code analysis from Coverity, so this
|
||||
release contains many serious bug fixes.
|
||||
* Fix serious file descriptor and memory leaks in the following
|
||||
functions. In particular the leaks in `run_interactive()` are very
|
||||
serious since that function is called every time a service is
|
||||
started and/or restarted! For details, see the GIT log:
|
||||
* `helpers.c:run()`
|
||||
* `helpers.c:run_interactive()`
|
||||
* `helpers.c:set_hostname()`
|
||||
* `helpers.c:procname_kill()`
|
||||
* `svc.c:svc_start()`: Fix swapped arguments to dup2() and add
|
||||
close(fd) to prevent descriptor leak.
|
||||
* `svc.c:svc_start()`: Fix out of bounds write to local stack
|
||||
variable, wrote off-by-one outside array.
|
||||
* Several added checks for return values to `mknod()`, `mkdir()`,
|
||||
`remove()`, etc.
|
||||
* Convert to use Markdown for README, NEWS and TODO.
|
||||
* Serious update to README and slight pruning of finished TODO items.
|
||||

||||

1.7 (2012-10-08)
|
||||
----------------
|
||||
* Show __FILE__ in _d() debug messages, useful for plugins with
|
||||
similarily named callbacks. Also, only in debug mode anyway
|
||||
* Make sure to cleanup recorded PID when a service is lost. Required by
|
||||
service plugins for their callbacks to work.
|
||||
* Bugfix: Do not free() static string in finit.conf parser
|
||||
* Only clear screen when in verbose mode. Maybe this should be removed
|
||||
altogether?

|
||||
----------------
|
||||
* Fix I/O plugin watcher and load plugins earlier for a new hook
|
||||
* Start refactoring helpers.c into a libite.so (-lite). This means
|
||||
other user space applications/daemons can make use of the neat toolbox
|
||||
available in finit
|
||||
* Use short-form -s/-w -u to work with BusyBox hwclock as well
|
||||
* Use RTLD_GLOBAL flag to tell dynamic loader to load dependent .so
|
||||
files as well. Lets other plugins use global symbols.
|
||||
* Greatly simplify svc hook for external plugins and cleanup plugin API.
|
||||
* And more... see the GIT log for more details.
