- stage 4 (after every process has been killed and the filesystems have been unmounted) now calls a new user script, `rc.shutdown.final`.

## in 1.0.2.1

- utmps optional dependency bumped to 0.0.2.2.

## in 1.0.2.0

- `-H` and `-P` options added to s6-linux-init-shutdown for better compatibility with sysvinit.

## in 1.0.1.0

- `-f` option added to s6-linux-init-maker for use in distribution packaging scripts with a staging directory.
- Permissions on the binaries have been adjusted.
- The skeleton `runlevel` script now includes a guard to avoid calling the service manager without an argument.
- The permissions of the `/run/uncaught-logs` directory in the generated image have been changed to 02750.

## in 1.0.0.0

- This is a complete rewrite and redesign of s6-linux-init: the lifetime version number has increased. No compatibility whatsoever is retained with previous versions.
- When rebooting after upgrading from a 0.4.0.x version of s6-linux-init to 1.0.0.0: the `s6-reboot` command, which is needed for the 0.4.0.x shutdown procedure, may not be accessible via PATH anymore. Make sure to have (a copy of) `s6-reboot` available in your PATH; you can remove it after rebooting on the new system.

## in 0.4.0.1

- skalibs dependency bumped to 2.8.0.0.
- execline dependency bumped to 2.5.1.0.
- s6-portable-utils dependency bumped to 2.2.1.3.
- s6-linux-utils dependency bumped to 2.5.0.1.
- s6 dependency bumped to 2.8.0.0.

## in 0.4.0.0

- skalibs dependency bumped to 2.6.4.0.
- execline dependency bumped to 2.3.0.4.
- s6 dependency bumped to 2.7.1.0.
- s6-linux-init-maker now autogenerates stage 3, which is not the responsibility of the user anymore (stage 3 was previously the user-written `/etc/rc.shutdown` script).
- The default user-provided "end of stage 2, bring down services" script was named `/etc/rc.tini` before; now it's named `/etc/rc.shutdown`.
- Everything now builds as PIC by default no matter the toolchain's settings. Use the `--disable-all-pic` configure option to build executables and static libraries as non-PIC.
