The Shepherd 1.0.0 released!
Quoting: The Shepherd 1.0.0 released! — The GNU Shepherd —
Finally, twenty-one years after its inception (twenty-one!), the Shepherd leaves ZeroVer territory to enter a glorious 1.0 era. This 1.0.0 release is published today because we think Shepherd has become a solid tool, meeting user experience standards one has come to expect since systemd changed the game of free init systems and service managers alike. It’s also a major milestone for Guix, which has been relying on the Shepherd from a time when doing so counted as dogfooding.
To celebrate this release, the amazing Luis Felipe López Acevedo designed a new logo, available under CC-BY-SA, and the project got a proper web site!

One of the things I’ve always found most inspiring about open source is its developers’ unwavering passion for the cause. It’s a defining trait of the movement—something you don’t find in the halls of corporate offices or the loud marketing campaigns.
Just when it seems like an open-source project has faded into oblivion, just like that, it flares up again with full force. That’s exactly what’s happening with the star of this story: the GNU Shepherd project.
