<h1>runit - upgrading from previous versions</h1>
<hr>

<h3>0.5.0 to 0.6.0</h3>
There are two new programs, <a href="runsvdir.8.html">runsvdir</a> and
<a href="runsv.8.html">runsv</a>, which replace the
<tt>svscanboot</tt>/<tt>svscan</tt>/<tt>readproctitle</tt>/<tt>supervise</tt>
combination of daemontools. Please adapt <tt>runit</tt>'s stage 2
(<tt>/etc/runit/2</tt>) to use <tt>runsvdir</tt> instead of
<tt>svscanboot</tt>; see the examples in <tt>/package/admin/runit/etc/</tt>.
The change takes effect on the next reboot or if you stop all services and
kill <tt>svscan</tt> and <tt>readproctitle</tt>. <tt>runit</tt> then
automatically restarts stage 2.
<p>
The <a href="svwaitdown.8.html">svwaitdown</a> program has new options: -k
and -x. They are used in <tt>runit</tt>'s stage 3 (<tt>/etc/runit/3</tt>).
Please adapt your <tt>/etc/runit/3</tt> script after the changes to stage 2
have taken effect (<tt>runsvdir</tt> must run instead of
<tt>svscanboot</tt>); see the examples in
<tt>/package/admin/runit/etc/</tt>.
<h3>0.4.1 to 0.5.0</h3>
There is a new program: <a href="utmpset.8.html">utmpset</a>. This program
is used in the getty run scripts to enable local login accounting. You might
want to adapt your getty run scripts <tt>/service/getty-*/run</tt>, see the
examples in <tt>/package/admin/runit/etc/</tt>.
