OpenBSD and Debian GNU/kFreeBSD compatibility has been improved. openSUSE startup script has been added.

downtimed 0.4 released
Written for downtimed by Janne Snabb on 2010-12-25
This is a bug fix and portability enhancement release. This release should introduce support for OpenBSD and Debian GNU/kFreeBSD. Backwards lseek(2) was changed to forward lseek(2) to avoid strange bugs on some systems. The downtimed(8) daemon does not create its data directory on its own any longer: it should be created by the system administrator or package maintainer. There are some other minor bug and style fixes also.
