Zdaemon

================================

Bugs Fixed
----------

- The new (2.0) mechanism used by zdaemon to start the daemon manager
broke some applications that extended zdaemon.

- Added extra checks to deal with programs that extend zdaemon
and copy the schema and thus don't see updates to the ZConfig schema.

==================

New Features
------------

- Added support for setting environment variables in the configuration
file. This is useful when zdaemon is used to run programs that need
environment variables set (e.g. LD_LIBRARY_PATH).

- Added a command to rotate the transcript log.

==================

Bugs Fixed
----------

- In non-daemon mode, start hung, producing annoying dots
when the program exited.

- The start command hung producing annoying dots if the daemon failed
to start.

- foreground and start had different semantics because one used
os.system and another used os.spawn

New Features
------------

- Documentation

- Command-line arguments can now be supplied to the start and
foreground (fg) commands

- zdctl now invokes itself to run zdrun. This means that it's
no-longer necessary to generate a separate zdrun script. This
especially when the magic techniques to find and run zdrun using
directory sniffing fail to set the path correctly.

- The daemon mode is now enabled by default. To get non-daemon mode,
you have to use a configuration file and set daemon to off
there. The old -d option is kept for backward compatibility, but is
a no-op.

==================

- First semi-formal release.

After some unknown release(???)
===============================

- Made 'zdaemon.zdoptions' not fail for --help when __main__.__doc__
is None.

================

- SVN tag: svn://svn.zope.org/repos/main/zdaemon/tags/zdaemon-1.1

- Tagged to make better 'svn:externals' linkage possible.
