+version 1.0 released 2016-05-24
+
+ - This is mainly a maintenance release. There are no significant new
+ features. The software appears to be so stable that it is the time to
+ release 1.0 now.
+
+ - Enable downtime(1) command and manual page. It was previously commented
+ out but enabled in Debian and Ubuntu packaging. The singular form
+ displays just the most recent downtime entry. The original idea was that
+ this is the counterpart of the uptime(1) command.
+
+ - Add downtimed(8) command line option -F for enabling seamless
+ operation with modern system service supervisors such as systemd(8) and
+ others. This option disables calling daemon(3) and thus fork(2)ing into
+ the background. In systemd(8) terminology this is a [Service] Type=
+ "simple".
+
+ - Eliminate #ifndef __APPLE__ in the code. OS X users must now add the -F
+ option described above to their downtimed(8) launchd(8) configuration.
+ The example configuration startup-scripts/com.epipe.downtimed.plist was
+ updated accordingly.
+
+ - Add systemd.service(5) file in startup-scripts/downtimed.service.
+
+ - Add -f command line option to usage help strings. Reported and a patch
+ supplied by Mats Erik Andersson. Thanks!
+
+ - Allow disabling pid file creation with -p none.
+
+ - Update autotools produced scripts, build-aux.
+
+ - Moved code hosting from Launchpad to GitHub. The new location is:
+
+ https://github.com/snabb/downtimed
+
+ Also README was changed to README.md.
+
+ - Miscellaneous minor improvements and changes in the documentation.
