What's changed in this release

  • Better support for terminals with light background by @mkhl in #23

What I've been working on

It's not ready to go yet, but I've been hacking on support for enabling/disabling services and displaying services' enablement state. It's been more difficult than I expected:

  1. The main dbus function I've been using (ListUnits()) only returns loaded units; not helpful when someone wants to enable/start a service for the first time
  2. ListUnitFiles() returns info about disabled services, but it's much slower and is missing a lot of info
  3. I experimented with subscribing to service/unit property changes but couldn't get it to work reliably, need to spend more time investigating that
  4. systemd's documentation is not the best

Whew. That is all to say that I am still working on significant improvements in my spare time, but it might be a little while before that particular one is done.
