=E2=80=A2 About

  The Shepherd is a service manager written in Guile that looks after
  the herd of daemons running on the system.  It can be used as an
  =E2=80=9Cinit=E2=80=9D system (PID 1) and also by unprivileged users to m=
anage
  per-user daemons=E2=80=94e.g., gpg-agent, tor, privoxy.  It supports seve=
ral
  daemon startup mechanisms, including inetd, systemd-style socket
  activation, and timers.  The Shepherd is configured in Guile Scheme
  and can be extended in the same language.  It builds on a simple
  memory-safe and callback-free programming model.

  The Shepherd is developed jointly with the Guix project; it is used as
  the init system of Guix System and service manager of Guix Home.

  It is bit-for-bit reproducible from a checkout of the =E2=80=98v1.0.7=E2=
=80=99 tag of
  the Git repository.


=E2=80=A2 Changes since version 1.0.6

  ** New #:input-port parameter for =E2=80=98make-forkexec-constructor=E2=
=80=99

  This allows users to specify what standard input to use for the new proce=
ss
  instead of the default /dev/null.  This is similar to the =E2=80=98Standa=
rdInput=3D=E2=80=99
  directive in systemd unit files.

  ** =E2=80=98make-forkexec-constructor=E2=80=99 terminates process when lo=
g is not created
     (<https://codeberg.org/shepherd/shepherd/issues/25>)

  =E2=80=98make-forkexec-constructor=E2=80=99 would mark the service as sto=
pped when its
  #:log-file could not be created, but the corresponding process would keep
  running.  This is now fixed: the process is terminated when its log file =
could
  not be created.

  ** Service being replaced does not leak control fiber upon respawn
     (<https://codeberg.org/shepherd/shepherd/issues/28>)

  When a service with a previously-registered replacement was respawned, it
  would previously leave behind it a controlling fiber that would no longer=
 be
  used.  This would constitute a (small) memory leak, which could be notice=
able
  on systems with long uptimes.

  ** Improve error reporting for wrong-type arguments
     (<https://codeberg.org/shepherd/shepherd/issues/30>)

  It is not uncommon to mistakenly pass arguments of the wrong type to publ=
ic
  procedures such as =E2=80=98make-forkexec-constructor=E2=80=99.  They are=
 now more nicely
  reported, both in the =E2=80=98shepherd=E2=80=99 log and on the output of=
 the =E2=80=98herd=E2=80=99 command
  when applicable.

  ** Avoid Bash-specific idiom in =E2=80=98./configure=E2=80=99 and in tests
     (<https://codeberg.org/shepherd/shepherd/issues/31>)

  Use of =E2=80=98type -P=E2=80=99, which shells such as Dash do not suppor=
t, has been replaced
  by the POSIXy =E2=80=98command -v=E2=80=99 in ./configure and in the test=
 suite.
