This is primarily intended for users running dinit + in "user mode" rather than for system instances of dinit, although it works in either case. See + the dinit-monitor(8) manual page for details. + * Support on Linux for running service processes in a cgroup, via the "runs-in-cgroup" service + setting. Cgroups must be mounted/created outside of dinit (eg via an early service), there is no + support for this in dinit itself. See the dinit-service(5) manual page for details. + * "dinitctl enable", "dinitctl disable" and "dinitctl rmdep" now give better feedback in various + situations. For example, "dinitctl disable" will warn if a disabled service has other + dependents (which may cause it to start anyway). + * When parse errors occur in service description files, the relevant line number should now be + reported (by dinitcheck, or in the dinit log). + * Environment variable substitution in command lines is now performed for the "stop-command" + setting in exactly the same way as for the "command" setting. Previously, by oversight, + substitution was not performed for the "stop-command" setting. + * Fix: start timeout was not being honoured for service restarts. + == Version 0.14.0 (Alpha release #5) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index dbc984ad..3eb2780c 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -1,5 +1,5 @@ # Dinit -v0.14.0 (alpha release #5) +v0.15.0 (alpha release #6) This is the README for Dinit, the service manager and init system.
