0.2.5  2006-09-09

 * "control-alt-delete" event name changed to "ctrlaltdel".

 * "initctl shutdown EVENT" added that performs the same job as
   "shutdown" but without all the usual warnings, timings, etc.

 * "logd" has now been written, if installed this is started by init
   before sending the "startup" call and all jobs with "console logged"
   (the default) will have their output sent to this daemon.  It
   currently just logs to /var/log/boot.

 * "shutdown -k" implemented.

 * The "shutdown" utility has been changed to generate "system-halt"
   for "-H", "power-off" for "-P" and just "halt" if only "-h" given.

 * If "shutdown" is run when running under sysvinit, it will now
   send the appropriate /dev/initctl message to allow upgrades.

 * "telinit S" implemented.

 * Instead of trying to start or stop jobs, "telinit" now just sends
   "runlevel-X" events.

 * The "telinit" utility now ensures a "shutdown" event is sent
   before switching to runlevel 0, 1 or 6.

 * If "telinit" is installed and init is called by the super-user,
   "telinit" is invoked instead.

 * Basic manual pages included.


This release includes several improvements to the System V compatibility
shims, see the Ubuntu package for example jobs that emulate the
behaviour of sysvinit (down to storing the "runlevel" in utmp).
