After getting the unit test framework sorted, it made sense to improve
on the test coverage and embark on a cleanup of the upstart code;
shaking out all the problems and kludges that I didn't like.
The new features for the 0.3 series are all planned out, and many are
already written:
https://launchpad.net/products/upstart/+milestone/0.3
Now it's just a simple matter of merging and programming.
0.3.2 2007-02-06 "Could anybody have tampered with your luggage?"
* Fix leak of inotify file descriptor that could allow any process on
the system to remove upstart's watch on its configuration directory.
* New "emits" configuration stanza, used to list events that are
emitted by the job itself. Intended for use by front-ends to draw
event graphs and the like.
* Dropped "depends" configuration stanza and all related code. This
will be replaced by the complex state mechanism.
* Rewritten IPC code to be significantly simpler, with the goal of
having a stable interface once we hit the end of this milestone
series.
* Rewritten configuration parser and inotify watch infrastructure to be
more maintainable in future.
* Now supports systems where inotify is disabled.
* Duplicate configuration stanzas are no longer permitted.
* Bug fixes, especially concerning malloc failure
