A plethora or new features and updates, including all those from Ubuntu Natty.

* New upstart-socket-bridge application which allows jobs to be
  started when an incoming client socket connection is initiated
  (requires a suitably modified server daemon since jobs only
  need call accept(2) before reading from the socket).
* User session support allowing non-privileged users to
  manipulate their own jobs (not available within a chroot
  environment).
* Chroot support allowing jobs to be controlled within chroot
  environments.
* Updated bash completion script.
* Updated vim syntax script.
* init-checkconf script used to check syntax of Job
  Configuration Files (including script sections).
* initctl2dot script to convert initctl(8) output to GraphViz
  dot(1) format for analysing relationships between jobs and
  events.
* New "check-config" initctl command to check for jobs whose
* "start on" and "stop on" events cannot be satisfied.
* New "show-config" initctl command to display "start on", "stop
  on" and emits" information in parseable format.
* New initctl command-line option: "--session" for D-Bus
  session connection.
* New init command line options (mostly for testing):
  - "--session" for D-Bus session bus.
  - "--confdir <dir>".
  - "--startup-event <event>".
  - "--no-startup-event".
* New "kill signal" stanza to allow override of SIGTERM when
  stopping jobs.
* Add support for the oom_score_adj procfs API.
* Improved POSIX compliance when running shell scripts.
