#ifdef linux

Lots of goodness in this release (explanatory posts to follow): upstart-local-bridge : New bridge for starting jobs on local socket connections. upstart-dconf-bridge : New bridge for Session Inits to react to dconf/gsettings changes. upstart-dbus-bridge : New ' --bus-name ' option to allow bus name variable to be included in dbus-event(7) . New " reload signal " stanza to allow jobs to specify a custom signal that will be sent to the main process (rather than the default SIGHUP ). Inclusion of Session Init sample jobs. Re-exec fixes for handling chroot sessions. Shutdown fix for Session Inits. New python3 module and accompanying integration test suite for testing Upstart running as PID 1 and as a Session Init (privileged and non-privileged). The Upstart cookbook has been updated for this release.

I've started a long-overdue update to the Upstart Cookbook for Upstart on Debian. Look out for the Debian swirl! :-) http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook

The Upstart Cookbook has now been updated to take into account all the goodness that landed in Upstart 1.7. There are quite a few changes so if you'd like to review the diff, it's here .
