1.0.0 of the GNU Shepherd service manager has been released after a
mere 21 years of development.

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.
