+---------------------
+
+### Changes
+ - Update documentation regarding transition from runlevel S to 2, how
+   run/tasks must "complete" before Finit can move to the next runlevel
+ - Improve argument handling in bundled getty when launching login
+
+### Fixes
+ - Fix #432: allow services in `setup` state to be stopped.  This fixes
+   a serious blocker introduced in 4.10 that prevented systems from
+   being rebooted when any service was in this state
+ - Fix fallback `SIGKILL` when stopping a service with `SIGTERM` does
+   not work.  This fixes a serious issue with services not responding to
+   the default `SIGTERM`
+ - Fix pre/post/ready/cleanup script execution if service has an
+   optional `env:file` (leading `-`)
+ - Fix blocked signals for pre/post/ready/cleanup scripts preventing
+   normal shutdown when a service/sysv is stopped in its setup state
+ - Fix issue where a pre:script creates a PID file in `/run` cause the
+   service to move from setup state to running.  Any `svc_t` in setup,
+   teardown, or cleanup state should be ignored in the pidfile plugin
