  23 Oct 2007; Roy Marples <uberlord@gentoo.org>:

    clock init script now works with busybox hwclock.
    clock init script now handles /etc/adjtime correctly.
    CLOCK_ADJTIME hinted that it could change the location of /etc/adjtime.
    This is not the case.

  19 Oct 2007; Roy Marples <uberlord@gentoo.org>:

    Mount /dev/shm for Linux systems, even not when in /etc/fstab, #196345.

  16 Oct 2007; Roy Marples <uberlord@gentoo.org>:

    We now build and optionally work with static libraries.

  15 Oct 2007; Roy Marples <uberlord@gentoo.org>:

    rc-status now orders services in start order, #195630

* baselayout-2.0.0_rc5 (11 Oct 2007)

  11 Oct 2007; Roy Marples <uberlord@gentoo.org>:

    Bump librc and libeinfo to .so.1
    If / block device as in /etc/fstab does not exist, use /dev/root if
    it's available in checkroot, #171593.

  09 Oct 2007; Roy Marples <uberlord@gentoo.org>:

    netmount, localmount, halt.sh and net scripts now check OS specific flags
    to see if a mount is network mounted (linux = fstab, *bsd = "local" in
    mount options) or not, #192772.
    txqueuelen_eth0= now works, #190538.

  03 Oct 2007; Roy Marples <uberlord@gentoo.org>:

    librc.so and libeinfo.so now have symbol versions.
    Default to tunctl so we can create the device as a specific
    user, #194588 thanks to Jaco Kroon.

  28 Sep 2007; Roy Marples <uberlord@gentoo.org>:

    rc_service_state now returns the state as a mask, which means that
    we can do things with just the one call making is more efficient.
    keymaps now sets unicode keyboard on all defined ttys, #192442 
    thanks to Pacho Ramos.
    net.sh now checks to see if root is net mounted if no predown function
    exists, #194074.
    enums are now fixed to specific values and are in UPPER CASE.

  26 Sep 2007; Roy Marples <uberlord@gentoo.org>:

    rc_is_env is now rc_env_bool and just works with boolean values.
    errno is set when it's not a boolean or does not exist.

  25 Sep 2007; Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>:

    Skip consolefont setup when RC_TTY_NUMBER is set to 0.

    Add support for describing the options in the C programs.

    Retain behavior where `rc-update del foo` deletes foo from all runlevels.

    Retain behavior where `rc-update del` warns if nothing changed.

  24 Sep 2007; Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>:

    Do not require portmap in netmount when nolock option is used with nfs
    mounts and fixup the test so that it actually works.

  24 Sep 2007; Roy Marples <uberlord@gentoo.org>:

    Fix pppd metric, #193574 thanks to Martin Väth.

  21 Sep 2007; Roy Marples <uberlord@gentoo.org>:

    Use a pty for prefixed output instead of pipes for stdout/stderr. This
    is so that programs can get information about the controlling terminal.
    This change was triggered by bug #188506 where it's possible that
    stdin, stdout and stderr didn't point to a terminal but ended up on one
    via our pipes. Using a pty means that stdout and stderr always point to
    a terminal, but we lose the ability to tell them apart.
    If there is not a pty available then we use un-prefixed output as normal.
    This change has also introduced the need for a signal pipe so that
    SIGCHLD can exit the loop cleanly.

  20 Sep 2007; Roy Marples <uberlord@gentoo.org>:

    libeinfo now works out the number of columns from stdout rather than
    stdin, #188506.

  19 Sep 2007; Roy Marples <uberlord@gentoo.org>:

    Added the checkown applet based on the work by Renato Caldas, #192682
    checkdir ensures that the specified files (or directories) are owned
    by the current user/group or as specified on the command line. You can
    optionally check permissions too.

    Change from /lib/rcscripts to /lib/rc and adjust our files so changing
    our libdir is much easier in future. This move makes sense it's so much
    more than a holding place for our scripts now. It also has the added
    benefit of not loading the splash plugin for rc4 and lower which is
    ABI incompatible with us now.

    plugin hook function is now rc_plugin_hook instead of a name based
    on the name of the plugin.

  18 Sep 2007; Roy Marples <uberlord@gentoo.org>:

    Only mount /sys if it's not mounted, #192436.

    API changes!

    rc_ls_dir, rc_get_config and rc_get_list no longer take a starting list
    as a first argument. Instead, use rc_strlist_join to append or prepend
    the new list to an existing list.

    rc_strlist_add and friends now take char *** instead of char ** and
    return a pointer to the item added instead of the new list head. This is
    so we can easily tell if the item was successfully added or not instead
    of iterating through the list looking for it. 
	
    list = rc_strlist_add (list, item);
    becomes
    rc_strlist_add (&list, item);

  17 Sep 2007; Roy Marples <uberlord@gentoo.org>:

    Document the preferance of wpa_supplicant, #192828.

  09 Sep 2007; Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>:

    Allow people to specify a list of dirs to clean in bootmisc #191807.  Force
    the +t bit on /tmp and /var/tmp paths.

  04 Sep 2007; Roy Marples <uberlord@gentoo.org>:

    start-stop-daemon now works with userids correctly when a pidfile
    is not specified, #191206.

  02 Sep 2007; Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>:

    Always attempt to mount /dev/pts when devpts is available as it may appear
    in some 2.4 setups.

* baselayout-2.0.0_rc4 (02 Sep 2007)

  02 Sep 2007; Roy Marples <uberlord@gentoo.org>:

    RC_TTY_NUMBER now defaults to 12, #190996 thanks to Pacho Ramos.

  31 Aug 2007; Roy Marples <uberlord@gentoo.org>:

    Only generate dependencies for Gentoo scripts, #190547.

    Add /etc/gentoo-release to CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK.

  25 Aug 2007; Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>:

    Only open /proc/cmdline if it exists, #189686 thanks to Christian Affolter.

    Stop un-needed services when changing runlevels, #189050.

  15 Aug 2007; Roy Marples <uberlord@gentoo.org>:

    `config /etc/fstab' can now be used in depend() functions to show that
    the deptree should be regenerated if /etc/fstab has changed.
    Add bzr port 4155 to /etc/services, #188970 thanks to Andrew Cowie.

  08 Aug 2007; Roy Marples <uberlord@gentoo.org>:

    appending noinitd=xdm will skip the xdm service when first booting, #181858.

  22 Jul 2007; Roy Marples <uberlord@gentoo.org>:

    Harden gendepends.sh some more so we only capture the stdout we want from
    the depend function, #186072.

  21 Jul 2007; Roy Marples <uberlord@gentoo.org>:

    RC_DEPEND_STRICT now controls dependency strictness.
    If yes then we only use services in the boot and default runlevels,
    regradless of service state.
    If no then we take into account coldplugged services and the state
    of currently running services.
    Fixes #185640.

    "modules-update" -> "update-modules".

  05 Apr 2007; Roy Marples <uberlord@gentoo.org>:

    Rewrite the core parts in C. We now provide librc so other programs can
    query runlevels, services and state without using bash. We also provide
    libeinfo so other programs can easily use our informational functions.
    
    As such, we have dropped the requirement of using bash as the init script
    shell. We now use /bin/sh and have strived to make the scripts as portable
    as possible. Shells that work are bash and dash. busybox works provided
    you disable s-s-d. If you have WIPE_TMP set to yes in conf.d/bootmisc you
    should disable find too.
    zsh and ksh do not work at this time.

    Networking support is currently being re-vamped also as it was heavily bash
    array based. As such, a new config format is available like so
    config_eth0="1.2.3.4/24 5.6.7.8/16"
    or like so
    config_eth0="'1.2.3.4 netmask 255.255.255.0' '5.6.7.8 netmask 255.255.0.0'"

    We will still support the old bash array format provided that /bin/sh IS
    a link it bash.

    ChangeLog for baselayout-1 can be found in our SVN repo.
