What has changed in s6
in 2.7.0.1
- skalibs dependency bumped to 2.6.4.0.
in 2.7.0.0
- skalibs dependency bumped to 2.6.3.0.
- s6lockd and
s6-ftrigrd now use the new
textclient API and ABI from skalibs, instead of the
more generic skaclient. This is cleaner, faster code.
(s6-fdholderd still uses
skaclient, since its point is to transmit file descriptors,
which textclient does not support.)
in 2.6.2.0
- skalibs dependency bumped to 2.6.2.0.
- execline dependency bumped to 2.3.0.4.
- New s6_fdholder functions:
s6_fdholder_start(), s6_fdholder_end().
in 2.6.1.1
- skalibs dependency bumped to 2.6.0.1.
- execline dependency bumped to 2.3.0.3.

- Additions of a few interfaces to libs6
in order to fix a race condition in s6-rc.

in 2.5.1.0
- skalibs dependency bumped to 2.5.1.0.
- execline dependency bumped to 2.3.0.1.
- s6-ftrig-listen1 prints the last event
it received to stdout.
- The timeout-kill file is now recognized in a
service directory and allows
s6-svc -d to send a SIGKILL after a timeout if the
process is still not dead after the initial SIGTERM and SIGCONT.
in 2.5.0.0
- skalibs dependency bumped to 2.5.0.0.
- execline dependency bumped to 2.3.0.0.
- Services can now report permanent failure by having ./finish
exit 125.

s6-svlisten and
s6-svlisten1 now exit 99
when they time out. They exit n when there are n
services reporting permanent failure.

use -n to get the old behaviour.

prefix, in the slashpackage case.
