(batch announcement, also sent to the supervision mailing-list because
s6-0.17 depends on the other two.)

 Hello,

 skalibs-1.2.8 is out.
 It fixes a few portability bugs - most importantly, a clock accuracy
bug appearing on some libcs. Also, nonblocking zero-copy data transfer
now works on Linux no matter the libc.

 execline-1.1.5 is out.
 It adds functionality to backtick, forx and forbacktickx: you now have
the option to make the variable an environment variable instead of a
substitution macro. This behaviour will become the default at some point
in the future, so you are advised to upgrade and update your scripts
with explicit options !
 Note for repackagers: the binaries now include compile-time-coded
paths to other execline binaries, so be careful and patch appropriately
if you are moving the binaries outside of the installation convention.

 s6-0.17 is out.
 It fixes a stupid bug in s6-svstat, and cleans up a bit of code.
With the new skalibs, "echo | s6-tai64n | s6-tai64nlocal" should now
give the same time as "date" on every correctly configured system.

 Enjoy,
 Bug-reports welcome.
