+propellor 0.5.2 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
+[[!toggleable text="""
+   * A bug that caused propellor to hang when updating a running docker
+     container appears to have been fixed. Note that since it affects
+     the propellor process that serves as "init" of docker containers,
+     they have to be restarted for the fix to take effect.
+   * Licence changed from GPL to BSD.
+   * A few changes to allow building Propellor on OSX. One user reports
+     successfully using it there."""]]
