Upstart 1.1 released

Written for upstart by Scott James Remnant on 2011-03-17

Nothing says "stable release" like a merry round of bug fixes, including the file descriptor leak when the "script" keyword is used.

1.1 2011-03-16 "It's probably 'cause you think you're cooler than me"

 * When /sbin/halt is called (without -p), this now results in the
   system being halted and not powered down. If you meant it to be
   powered down, use /sbin/poweroff. (Bug: #532366)

 * Fixed file descriptor leak of /proc/self/fd/NN to shell scripts
   executed by Upstart. (Bug: #619269)

 * Fixed bug where console was closed too early, causing loss of error
   messages and non-functioning keyboard-request event,
   (Bug: #707151)

 * Fixed bug where environment variables containing unusual characters
   were not accepted due to a mis-reading of POSIX. (Bug: #567068).

 * Fixed non-removal of symlinks on "make uninstall". (Bug: #604227)

 * Reduced priority of job termination messages from warn to info
   if the exit status or signal is listed in "normal exit".
   (Bug: #522197)
