Since no one has reported new bugs or raised objections, I'm going to go ahead and publish a new SysV init snapshot, this one carrying the version number 2.89. There haven't been any major overhauls of the code or big feature changes, the changes since 2.88 have been mostly bug fixes. For example, init handles finding libraries more broadly, should compile on a wider range of systems (like GNU Hurd and GNU/kFreeBSD), works with SELinux on Debian-based systems and so on.
Most of my work these past few months has focused on applying downstream patches/fixes, cleaning up compiler warnings and updating the documentation. Reboot times on my machines have been improved slightly too, by around 1-2 seconds. People who want to get caught up on the changes since the last version can read up on the changlog [1]. Last, but not least, I've talked with some of the packagers from downstream projects, such as MX Linux and antiX, and invited them to submit bug reports and patches so they're not carrying the burden of maintenance.
