NOTE: Epoch is my software, but since it's a competitor to systemd, and since I've discussed it on IRC, I made this submission.

On 2014-05-15, version 1.1 of the Epoch Init System [universe2.us] was released. Epoch is an init system that aims to be small, provide good service management, have no extraneous dependencies, and most of all, to be very unintrusive, and is targeted at desktop, server, and minimalist distros.
Version 1.0 was released in January and 1.1 is a follow-up to that release, adding some requested features, bugfixes, and good-ideas.

The biggest feature in 1.1 is multiple configuration file support, which was not present in previous releases because it was deemed a good way to bomb your drive with extra config files, but for the sake of maintainers and by popular demand, it is present in this release.

A changelog [githubusercontent.com] exists.
