[ANNOUNCE] upstart 0.6.7 released

From: Scott James Remnant
Date: Tue Dec 14 2010 - 11:56:20 EST


Support for disabling a job without deleting the file or commenting
out the "start on" stanza; some new D-Bus properties and signals and
documentation improvements.


0.6.7 2010-12-14 "Return of the Mole"

* A new "manual" stanza has been added to the configuration, this
removes any previously defined "start on" stanza for job so that
the job can only be started with initctl "start". This allows
quick disabling of a job with:

echo "manual" >> /etc/init/jobname.conf

* Upstart now emits a "GoalChanged" D-Bus signal immediately after
changing the "goal" property of an instance, a "StateChanged"
signal after changing the "state" property, and a "Failed" signal
after marking an instance as failed.

* Job objects now include "start_on", "stop_on" and "emits"
properties containing the appropriate information from the
configuration.

* For developers, a "debug" stanza has been added; if present in a
job, the job will wait before the exec call and can be attached
to by gdb to examine Upstart's state.

* Manpage fixes. (Bugs: #677392, #686734)
