 ### Minor features
 
+* Added several fields to process-control status operation: active, description, command, status, starttime, pid
 * Changed signal handling
   * Moved clixon-proc sigchild handling	from handler to clixon_events
 * The base capability has been changed to "urn:ietf:params:netconf:base:1.1" following RFC6241.
