1.2.71

• A manual start of a deferred @reboot job that arrives while the
  scheduler is launching another deferred @reboot job leaves the daemon
  running. The manual start counts as that job's boot run, and the scheduler
  doesn't run the job again.
• The FreeBSD package's rc.d script starts the service. In /etc/rc.conf,
  cronstable_runas sets its account (whose primary group owns the state
  directory) and cronstable_args adds cronstable arguments; start warns
  while cronstable_user or cronstable_flags is set. An upgrade restarts a
  running service once its running jobs finish. An upgrade from 1.2.70 or
  earlier stops it, and the package reminds you to start an enabled, stopped
  service.
• A mail report with starttls: true upgrades the connection with STARTTLS
  and fails when the server doesn't offer it. With tls and starttls both
  false (the default), mail and its login go unencrypted even when the
  server offers STARTTLS, and the config load warns about such a login to
  any host but localhost or a loopback address. A mail block with to and
  from that sets both, directly or through defaults:, is a config error.
• When the system hostname contains a dot, a mail report's EHLO greeting
  gives that name as is and skips the DNS lookup, so a host that can't
  resolve its own name still sends its reports within the 60-second limit.
  For a hostname without a dot, the greeting carries the name that Python's
  socket.getfqdn() finds.
• Secret redaction finds JWTs in time proportional to a line's length, so the
  daemon keeps scheduling and serving requests while it archives an output
  line made of many hyphen-joined eyJ runs. With redactArchivedSecrets
  on (the default), an archived line longer than 1,048,576 characters (1 MiB
  of ASCII text) is stored as ***REDACTED***.
• An included file changes only the defaults that its own defaults: block
  or the files it includes set, and the other defaults of earlier includes
  stay in effect. A jobs-only YAML file or a classic crontab changes none.
• A daemon running from a release binary reads its modules from that binary
  after a package upgrade replaces or deletes it, so it keeps sending reports
  until it restarts on the new binary, including while it finishes its
  running jobs.

Performance compared with 1.2.70

Regression check: passed. No compared metric exceeded its regression thresholds.

Both versions were benchmarked in alternating rounds on the same machine. Results use the lowest runtime and median memory usage across rounds. Negative changes mean less time or memory; positive changes mean more.

Benchmark comparisons (199 metrics)

Noise (±) estimates run-to-run variation across both versions. A result fails the regression check only if the increase exceeds its percentage limit, its minimum absolute change, and 2 times the noise estimate. When a result uses the lowest runtime and each version has three or more rounds, the median of the rounds must also increase by more than the percentage limit and the minimum absolute change. n/a means too few rounds to estimate noise; the other limits still apply.

The Regression limit column accounts for the minimum absolute change, expressed as a percentage of the baseline. Not enforced marks informational metrics.

Startup times include Python startup overhead. Their percentage changes exclude that overhead when it can be measured separately and leaves a positive runtime in both versions.
