Change Log

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file using the Keep A ChangeLog style. This project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

UNRELEASED

Changed

  • When launching daemons, set environment variables to match how daemon(8) does it on FreeBSD. (Fixes bug #59)

[0.6.0] - 2016/04/12

Fixed

  • Create $HOME/.launchd if it does not exist.

Added

  • Partially ported to MacOS X. This fails to build, but some initial work has been done.
  • Allow jobs to be automatically restarted by specifying the KeepAlive and ThrottleInterval keys. Only the basic "true/false" is supported for KeepAlive at the current time.

[0.5.1] - 2016/03/31

Fixed

  • Fix a problem creating the rc script when building under Poudriere

[0.5.0] - 2016/03/27

Broken

  • The Linux port is probably broken due to the use of EVFILT_PROC. This will be fixed in a later release.

Fixed

  • Fix a build failure on 32-bit machines.
  • Fix incorrect detection of --mandir and --sysconfdir in the ./configure script.
  • Fix handling of stale pidfiles.
  • Fix a crash when a job with a duplicate label is loaded.
  • Fix an issue with signal handling in launchd(8) by using kevent(2) to trac children instead of installing a signal handler.
  • Fix a problem where the child process would inherit the signal handlers of launchd(8). We now reset all signal handlers in the child process after it is created.
  • Fix a memory corruption problem affecting vector resizes.
  • Fix an off-by-one memory corruption problem affecting manifest parsing.
  • Replaced potentially risky calls to system(3) with direct calls to mkdir(2) and unlink(2) as needed.

Added

  • Some experimental PC-BSD plist files have been added to the manifests/ directory.
  • If you send launchd(8) a SIGINT signal, it will gracefully unload all jobs and then exit.

Changed

  • If you run launchd(8) in the foreground, log messages will be printed to standard output, rather than to the logfile.

[0.4.2] - 2016-03-20

Fixed

  • Fix a bug in the init scripts that caused /usr/local/share/launchd/daemons to be ignored.
  • Fix a bug in the 'make install' target that caused manpages to be installed in the wrong place.
  • Create directories automatically during 'make install'.
  • Stop requiring autoconf/automake to build libucl.

[0.4.1] - 2016-03-18

Security

  • This release is the first to be checked by static analysis tools; specifically Coverity Scan and clang-analyzer. These tools found a small number of bugs related to memory management. Users are encouraged to upgrade to this release for enhanced security and reliability.

Added

  • Continuous Integration testing is now performed via TravisCI.
  • Support for building on OpenBSD and NetBSD was added. These platforms have not been extensively tested, so YMMV.
  • Add support for the Umask job key described in launchd.plist(5)
  • Add support for the RunAtLoad job key described in launchd.plist(5)
  • A partial implementation of calendar scheduling has been written. It does not currently work at all, but many of the pieces are there.

Changed

  • The JSMN parser has been replaced by libucl. This will allow jobs to be specified using JSON, YAML, or Nginx-style configuration.
  • Jobs will need to specify the RunAtLoad key to run automatically. This behavior more closely matches the behavior of Apple's launchd.
  • Logging output now goes to syslog(3) rather than to a custom file.
  • The build system has been overhauled to use a "configure" script similar to GNU autoconf.
  • launchd(8) will no longer automatically run all jobs after they are loaded.
  • launchd(8) will no longer automatically load jobs when it starts. Instead, it relies on launchctl(1) to load the appropriate jobs. This more closely matches the behavior of Apple's launchd.
  • The source code has been heavily reorganized, with files grouped into subdirectories.
  • libucl and libkqueue are bundled with relaunchd, and will be compiled if the host system does not have these libraries.

Fixed

  • Fixed several resource leaks detected by Coverity.
  • Fix a lack of default redirection of standard I/O to /dev/null.

Removed

  • The undocumented and incomplete "install/uninstall" modes of launchctl have been removed.

[0.3.1] - 2015-12-06

Added

  • New jail management code, not yet enabled into the default build
  • Support for systems without SOCK_CLOEXEC

Changed

  • Stop building the sa-wrapper.so library by default
  • Explicitly add C99 mode to the CFLAGS

Fixed

  • Compiles cleanly on FreeBSD 9.3 now.

[0.3.0] - 2015-12-03

Changed

  • Replace the custom pidfile handling code with code borrowed from libutil.
  • Stop using /.launchd and write logs to /var/log, pidfiles to /var/run, and everything else to /var/{db,lib}/launchd

[0.2.1] - 2015-12-01

Fixed

  • Manpage references to paths in the FILES section
  • Do not install sa-wrapper.so by default

[0.2.0] - 2015-12-01

Added

  • Experimental bind(2) wrapper library that allows you to use socket activation with binaries that don't support it.
  • A config.h file with portability macros
  • Manual pages imported from the ruby-relaunchd project
  • regularly scheduled jobs via the StartInterval key
  • Experimental support for compiling under Linux
  • Support for setting the nice value
  • Experimental support for launching programs in a FreeBSD jail
  • Socket activation (incomplete, but handles the typical use case of a TCP socket)
  • The ability to unload jobs with launchctl

Fixed

  • Parsing of environment variables

[0.1.2] - 2015-11-02

  • Initial public release
