3.08
This release focuses on three changes which are basically imports of patches from Gentoo. Special thanks to floppym for supplying these.
Applied a patch from floppm which adds kexec option to the halt command. This can be used as "halt -k".
floppym provided patch which causes the halt command to call "shutdown -h -H" instead of "shutdown -h" when halt is invoked without parameters. This forces the shutdown command to set the INIT_HALT variable and assume, unless other conditions apply, that the "halt" call really wants to halt the machine and INIT_HALT should be set. In other words we assume halt wants to halt unless told otherwise.
Addresses downstream Gentoo bug ID 911257.
Updated halt documentation and help output to display parameters in alphabetical order.
3.07
The 3.07 release of SysV init mostly introduces fixes and improvements for the
killall5 and pidof programs. (These are actually the same program, but are
invoked with two different names, which result in different behaviour. The main
highlights in this release are:
Fixed killall5 so that processes in the omit list are not sent any
signals, including SIGSTOP.
Fixed usage message for killall5 to be more accurate.
pidof was not returning PIDs of programs which were launched using a
symbolic link. This has been fixed so programs run from a symbolic link
show up in process lists.
3.06
Mark Hindley fixed typo in es.po
Mark Hindley cleaned up translation code in src/Makefile.
Drop sulogin from Debian build. Removed libcrypt-dev dependency.
Fixed pt translation pages which were failing due to mis-matched open/close
tags.
Makefile now respects ROOT prefix when setting up pidof-to-killall5 symbolic
link.
Removed redundant translation files from man directory.
Makefile now respects DESTDIR. User can specify either ROOT= or DESTDIR= to
set install prefix.
3.05
This release (3.05) focuses on two things:
Updating the translation framework.
Fixing compiling issues on various systems.
The second point, compiling, encompasses a few minor changes to get SysV init to
build properly on GNU Hurd, systems without certain GNU assumptions, and systems
running the latest glibc library (2.36 at time of writing).
3.04
This release contains one minor fix which allows the bootlogd code to properly
compile on Debian's GNU Hurd branch.
3.03
This release includes two minor changes. One is fixing a typo in the init manual
page (init.8). this fix was offered by Mark hindley.
Mark, and a few other people, also pointed out that a fix in 3.02 for bootlogd
introduced reliance on a defined PATH_MAX constant. This is used elsewhere in
the code, but is not explicitly defined in bootlogd, which caused bootlogd to
not build properly on GNU Hurd and musl C systems. This has been fixed.
3.02
Added q and Q flags to synopsis in shutdown manual page.
Applied fixes for markup and spacing in manual pages.
Patch provided by Mario Blattermann.
Added translation framework (po4a) from Mario Blttermann.
Added Makefile for man/ directory. Will handle translations
and substitutions.
Applied new translations for multiple languages from Mario Blattermann.
Added ability to use "@" symbol in command named in the inittab file. This
treats commands as literal and does not launch a shell to interpret them.
Updated inittab manual page to include overview of symbols which trigger
a shell interpretor and how to disable them using the @ symbol.
Introduced change which adds error checking in bootlogd when performing
chdir(). - Provided by Alexander Vickberg
Add check for console using TIOCGDEV on Linux systems in bootlogd to
make finding console more robust. - Provided by Alexander Vickberg
3.01
Default to showing processes in the uninterruptable state (D).
The -z flag no longer affects whether processes in D state are shown.
The -z flag does still toggle whether zombie (Z) processes are shown.
Removed unnecessary check which is always true from init tab parsing.

- In sysvinit-2.97 (Dec2020) a patch was added which allows init to load configuration data
from files stored in /etc/inittab.d/
This modification would have come in with Core Update 155.
- When sysvinit was updated from 2.88dsf to 2.98 the /etc/inittab.d/ directory in the
rootfile was commented out.
Sysvinit looks to see if there are any files in inittab.d but as that directory does not
exist then the message "No inittab.d directory found" is written during the boot and is
also shown in the log summary.
- This patch uncomments the directory so that it will be present. No files will be placed
in it but its prescence will stop the error message being shown during boot.
Fixes: Bug #12797
