([PR #145](https://github.com/kohsuke/winsw/pull/145), [PR #73](https://github.com/kohsuke/winsw/pull/73) and others).

Fixed issues:

Prevent the CPU overutilization when waiting for the process to exit.
([PR #135](https://github.com/kohsuke/winsw/pull/135))
 * It should also fix issues related to the process termination failures, to be confirmed
* [Issue #164](https://github.com/kohsuke/winsw/issues/164) - 
Print warnings when the service cannot be uninstalled immediately and its uninstallation gets postponed.
([PR #165](https://github.com/kohsuke/winsw/pull/165))
* Do not propagate exceptions from Process.Kill() if the process actually exits.
([PR #166](https://github.com/kohsuke/winsw/pull/166))

Non-code changes:

 * [Maven repository](http://repo.jenkins-ci.org/releases/com/sun/winsw/winsw/) will be periodically updated on-demand
* [Issue #80](https://github.com/kohsuke/winsw/issues/80) - 
Maven releases now pick releases from GitHub Releases. The Maven package version is guaranteed to be equal to the assembly version.
