Update 2015-03-09: This release has unfortunately been yanked due to serious regressions in launching background processes. It has been replaced by v1.12

I’m very pleased to announce Finit v1.11 — this is the episode where two of my projects finally get married! ツ

Changes

Now using the asynchronous libuEv library for handling all events: signals, timers and listening to sockets or file descriptors.
Rename NEWS.md –> CHANGELOG.md, with symlinks for make install
Attempt to align with http://keepachangelog.com for the ChangeLog
Travis CI now only invokes Coverity Scan from the ‘dev’ branch. This means that all development, except documentation updates, must go into that branch.

Fixes

Fix bug with finit dying when no tty is defined in finit.conf, now even the fallback shell has control over its TTY, see fix in GIT commit dea3ae8 for this.
