     <p>New applets: brctl, chat (by Vladimir Dronnikov &lt;dronnikov AT gmail.com&gt;),
 	findfs, ifenslave (closes bug 115), lpd (by Vladimir Dronnikov &lt;dronnikov AT gmail.com&gt;),

 	<li>build system: pass CFLAGS to link stage too. Closes bug 1376

 	<li>last: do not go into endless loop on read error
 	<li>less,klogd,syslogd,nc,tcpudp: exit on signal by killing itself, not exit(1)
 	<li>less: "examine" command will not bomb out on bad file name now
 	<li>less: fix bug where backspace wasn't actually deleting chars
 	<li>less: make it a bit more resistant against status line corruption
 	<li>less: improve search when data is not supplied fast enough by stdin - now will try reading for 1-2 seconds before declaring that there is no match. This fixes a very common annoyance with long manpages
 	<li>less: update line input so that it doesn't interfere with screen update. Makes "man bash", [enter], [/], &lt;enter search pattern&gt;, [enter] more usable - manpage now draws even as you enter the pattern!

 	<li>msh: don't use floating point in "times" builtin
 	<li>msh: fix Ctrl-C handling with line editing
 	<li>msh: fix for bug 846 ("break" didn't work second time)
 	<li>msh: glob0/glob1/glob2/glob3 were just a sorting routine, removed
 	<li>msh: instead of fixing "ls | cd", "cd | ls" etc disallow builtins in pipes. They make no sense there anyway
 	<li>msh: stop trying to parse variables in "msh SCRIPT VAR=val param". They are passed as ordinary parameters

 	<li>umount: do not complain several times about the same mountpoint
 	<li>umount: do not try to free loop device or erase mtab if remounted ro
 	<li>umount: instead of non-standard -D, use -d with opposite meaning. Closes bug 1604
 	<li>unlzma: shrink by Pascal Bellard &lt;pascal.bellard AT ads-lu.com&gt;

 	<li>vi: many fixes
 	<li>zcip: don't chdir to root
 	<li>zcip: open ARP socket before openlog (else we can trash syslog socket)

	<li>less: fix bug where backspace wasn't actually deleting chars
	<li>less: make it a bit more resistant against status line corruption

	<li>less: update line input so that it doesn't interfere with screen update. Makes "man bash", [enter], [/], <enter search pattern>, [enter] more usable - manpage now draws even as you enter the pattern!
