This release fixes two problems with Gentoo Linux (control group version 
detection and a problem with mounting API filesystems) that we hashed 
out on the Supervision mailing list.  It furthermore contains a change 
to the way that convert-systemd-units generates service bundles that 
fixes problems with control group setup when the service unit defines a 
"slice" for the service or when the service unit is a template. In 
furtherance of that there's a new create-control-group command.

Other things in this release include improvements to the (unpackaged) Z 
Shell command-line completions, which now display option completion 
menus properly; some improvements to the Terminals chapter in the Guide; 
fixes to various service bundles that were using shell reserved words 
and operators such as "for" and "&&" without explicitly invoking the 
shell; additions to userenv for setting DBus and XDG Runtime variables; 
and a fix that prevents "system-control reset" from looping indefinitely 
when run by an unprivileged user such as "messagebus" that lacks access 
to the control/status API.

The major improvement in this release, though, is to console-fb-realizer 
on TrueOS.

FreeBSD gives console-fb-realizer uhid device files to use for input 
devices, which speak the USB HID report protocol and which 
console-fb-realizer has been happy with for a long time.  TrueOS 
provides either ums/ukbd devices, which lack various features because 
they speak the old sysmouse and atkbd protocols, or ugen devices.  There 
are no uhid devices available. console-fb-realizer can now use the ugen 
devices.  Moreover, it will detach the ums/ukbd drivers from the ugen 
devices using the new detach-kernel-usb-driver command, so that there 
aren't two things both attempting to read HID reports.

console-fb-realizer also now correctly sets the keyboard LEDs on both 
FreeBSD and TrueOS.

There have been several minor adjustments to the kernel VT sharing parts 
of console-fb-realizer, preparatory to splitting the program up into 
separate parts for input and output devices, permitting things such as 
multiple keyboards each with its own keyboard map and numlock semantics, 
in a future release.
