Upstart 0.6.3 released

Written for upstart by Scott James Remnant (Canonical) on 2009-08-02

The biggest disadvantage to people actually using your software is that they find bugs, this one's a doozy because it looks like it affects older 0.3 releases as well. Now seems as good a time as any to repeat my recommendation that distributions, mobile and embedded appliance developers using Upstart consider using 0.6 in their next release rather than sticking with 0.3

I've also today created the 0.6 stable branch in bzr, those following stable releases with bzr will want to update their trees to lp:~scott/upstart/0.6. New stable releases will be made off this branch while trunk receives more exciting developments.

0.6.3 2009-08-02 "Our last, best hope for peace"

 * Fixed an assertion when a job's main process is terminated
   while in the stopping state. (Bug: #406408)

 * Fixed compilation on ia64.

 * nih-dbus-tool(1) manpage will not be installed, since the binary
   is not. (Bug: #403103)
