+1.10 (2014-11-27)
+-----------------
+
+Major bug fix release.
+
+  * Project now relies on static code analysis from Coverity, so this
+    release contains many serious bug fixes.
+  * Fix serious file descriptor and memory leaks in the following
+    functions.  In particular the leaks in `run_interactive()` are very
+    serious since that function is called every time a service is
+    started and/or restarted!  For details, see the GIT log:
+    * `helpers.c:run()`
+    * `helpers.c:run_interactive()`
+    * `helpers.c:set_hostname()`
+    * `helpers.c:procname_kill()`
+  * `svc.c:svc_start()`: Fix swapped arguments to dup2() and add
+    close(fd) to prevent descriptor leak.
+  * `svc.c:svc_start()`: Fix out of bounds write to local stack
+    variable, wrote off-by-one outside array.
+  * Several added checks for return values to `mknod()`, `mkdir()`,
+    `remove()`, etc.
+  * Convert to use Markdown for README, NEWS and TODO.
+  * Serious update to README and slight pruning of finished TODO items.
+
 
 1.9 (2014-04-21)
 ----------------
-* Bug fixes, code cleanup
-* Add support for an include directive to .conf files

-* Misc. major (memleak) and minor fixes and additions to libite/lite.h

 1.8 (2013-06-07)
 ----------------
-* Support for runlevels, with a bootstrap runlevel 'S'
-* Support for saving previous and current runlevel to UTMP
-* Support for new finit.conf commands: run, task, and runlevel
-* Support for tty and console commands in finit.conf, like services but
-  for launching multiple getty logins
-* New tty plugin to monitor TTYs coming and going, like USB TTYs
-* Bugfixes to libite

 1.7 (2012-10-08)
 ----------------
-* Show __FILE__ in _d() debug messages, useful for plugins with
-  similarily named callbacks. Also, only in debug mode anyway
-* Make sure to cleanup recorded PID when a service is lost.  Required by
-  service plugins for their callbacks to work.
-* Bugfix: Do not free() static string in finit.conf parser
-* Only clear screen when in verbose mode. Maybe this should be removed
-  altogether?

 1.6 (2012-10-06)
 ----------------
-* Skip . and .. in plugin loader and display error on failed plugins
-* Support for overriding /etc/finit.d with "runparts DIR" in finit.conf
-* Revoke support for starting services not starting with a slash.
-* Prevent endless restart of non-existing services in finit.conf
-* Support for sysvinit style startstop scripts in /etc/finit.d
-* Minor fix to alsa-utils plugin to silence on non-existing cards

 1.5 (2012-10-03)
 ----------------
-* Use bootmisc plugin to setup standard FHS 2.3 structure in /var
-* Added FLOG_WARN() syslog macro, for plugins
-* Add plugin dependency resolver. Checks plugin_t for .depends

 1.4 (2012-10-02)
 ----------------
-* Fix I/O plugin watcher and load plugins earlier for a new hook
-* Start refactoring helpers.c into a libite.so (-lite).  This means
-  other user space applications/daemons can make use of the neat toolbox
-  available in finit
-* Use short-form -s/-w -u to work with BusyBox hwclock as well
-* Use RTLD_GLOBAL flag to tell dynamic loader to load dependent .so
-  files as well.  Lets other plugins use global symbols.
-* Greatly simplify svc hook for external plugins and cleanup plugin API.
-* And more... see the GIT log for more details.

 1.3 (2012-09-28)
 ----------------
-* Cleanup public plugin API a bit and add new pid/pidfile funcs
-* Add plugin hook to end of service startup
-* Remove finit.h from svc.h, plugins should not need this.
-* Move utility macros etc. to helpers.h
-* Make finit.h daemon internal, only
-* Move defines of FIFO, conf and rcS.d to Makefile => correct paths
-* Add support for installing required headers in system include dir
-* Better support for distributions and packagers with install-exec,
-  install-data, and install-dev targets in Makefile.  Useful if you want
-  to call targets with different $DESTDIR!
-* Makefile fixes for installation, paths encoded wrong
-* Strip binaries + .so files, support for $(CROSS) toolchain strip
-* Default install is now to /sbin/finit and /usr/
-* Note change in $PLUGIN_DIR environemnt variable to $plugindir
