finit/ChangeLog

1.6 (20121006)
	- Skip . and .. in plugin loader and display error on failed plugins
	- Support for overriding /etc/finit.d with "runparts DIR" in finit.conf
	- Revoke support for starting services not starting with a slash.
	- Prevent endless restart of non-existing services in finit.conf
	- Support for sysvinit style startstop scripts in /etc/finit.d
	- Minor fix to alsa-utils plugin to silence on non-existing cards

1.5 (20121003)
	- Use bootmisc plugin to setup standard FHS 2.3 structure in /var

1.4 (20121002)
	- 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.

	  the plugin API.
	- And more... see the GIT log for more details.

1.3 (20120928)

	- Add support for installing required headers in system include dir
