    <p>lash is deleted from this release. hush can be configured down to almost
       the same size, but it is significantly less buggy. It even works
       on NOMMU machines (interactive mode and backticks are not working on NOMMU,
       though). "lash" applet is still available, but it runs hush.

    <p>init has some changes in this release, please report if it causes
       problems for you.

    <p>Changes since previous release:
      <ul>
	<li>Build system improvements
	<li>Testsuite additions
	<li>Stack size reductions, code size reductions, data/bss reductions
	<li>An option to prefer IPv4 address if host has both
	<li>New applets: hd, sestatus
	<li>Removed applets: lash
	<li>hush: fixed a few bugs, wired up echo and test to be builtins
	<li>init: simplify forking of children
	<li>getty: special handling of '#' and '@' is removed

	<li>udhcpc: support "bad" servers which send oversized packets
	  (Cristian Ionescu-Idbohrn &lt;cristian.ionescu-idbohrn at axis.com&gt;)
	<li>udhcpc: -O option allows to specify which options to ask for
	  (Stefan Hellermann &lt;stefan at the2masters.de&gt;)
	<li>udhcpc: optionally check whether given IP is really free (by ARP ping)
	  (Jonas Danielsson &lt;jonas.danielsson at axis.com&gt;)

	<li>vi: speedup for huge line lengths
	<li>vi: Del key works
	<li>sed: support GNUism '\t'
	<li>cp/mv/install: optionally use bigger buffer for bulk copying

    <p>Applets which had many changes since 1.6.x:
    <p>httpd:
      <ul>
	<li>works in standalone mode on NOMMU machines now (partly by Alex Landau &lt;landau_alex at yahoo.com&gt;)
	<li>indexer example is rewritten in C
	<li>optional support for error pages (by Pierre Metras &lt;genepi at sympatico.ca&gt;)
	<li>stop reading headers using 1-byte reads
	<li>new option -v[v]: prints client addresses, HTTP codes returned, URLs
	<li>extended -p PORT to -p [IP[v6]:]PORT
	<li>sendfile support (by Pierre Metras &lt;genepi at sympatico.ca&gt;)
	<li>add support for Status: CGI header
	<li>fix CGI handling bug (we were closing wrong fd)
	<li>CGI I/O loop still doesn't look 100% ok to me...
      </ul>

    <p>udhcp[cd]:
      <ul>
	<li>add -f "foreground" and -S "syslog" options
	<li>fixed "ifupdown + udhcpc_without_pidfile_creation" bug
	<li>new config option "Rewrite the lease file at every new acknowledge" (Mats Erik Andersson &lt;mats at blue2net.com&gt; (Blue2Net AB))
	<li>consistently treat server_config.start/end IPs as host-order
	<li>fix IP parsing for 64bit machines
	<li>fix unsafe hton macro usage in read_opt()
	<li>do not chdir to / when daemonizing
      </ul>

    <p>top, ps, killall, pidof:
      <ul>
	<li>simpler loadavg processing
	<li>truncate usernames to 8 chars
	<li>fix non-CONFIG_DESKTOP ps -ww (by rockeychu)
	<li>improve /proc/PID/cmdinfo reading code
	<li>use cmdline, not comm field (fixes problems with re-execed applets showing as processes with name "exe", and not being found by pidof/killall by applet name)
	<li>reduce CPU usage in decimal conversion (optional) (corresponding speedup on kernel side is accepted in mainline Linux kernel, yay!)
	<li>make percentile (0.1%) calculations configurable
	<li>add config option and code for global CPU% display
	<li>reorder columns, so that [P]PIDs are together and VSZ/%MEM are together - makes more sense
      </ul>

    <p>Build system improvements: doesn't link against libraries we don't need,
	generates verbose link output and map file, allows for custom link
	scripts (useful for removing extra padding, among other things).

    <p>Code and data size in comparison with 1.6.1:<pre>
Equivalent .config, i386 glibc dynamic builds:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
 672671    2768   16808  692247   a9017 busybox-1.6.1/busybox
 662948    2660   13528  679136   a5ce0 busybox-1.7.0/busybox
 662783    2631   13416  678830   a5bae busybox-1.7.0/busybox.customld

Same .config built against static uclibc:
 765021    1059   11020  777100   bdb8c busybox-1.7.0/busybox_uc</pre>

    <p>Code/data shrink done in applets: crond, hdparm, dd, cal, od, nc, expr, uuencode,
	test, slattach, diff, ping, tr, syslogd, hwclock, zcip, find, pidof, ash, uudecode,
	runit/*, in libbb.

    <p>New applets:
      <ul>

	<li>chpasswd (by Alexander Shishkin &lt;virtuoso at slind.org&gt;)
	<li>slattach, ttysize
      </ul>

    <p>Unfortunately, not much work is done on shells. This was mostly stalled
	by lack of time (read: laziness) on my part to learn how to adapt existing
	qemu-runnable image for a NOMMU architechture (available on qemu website)
	for local testing of cross-compiled busybox on my machine.

    <p>Other changes since previous release (abridged):

	<li>ifup/ifdown: make location of ifstate configurable
	<li>ifupdown: make netmask parsing smaller and more strict (was accepting 255.0.255.0, 255.1234.0.0 etc...)
	<li>install: fix -s (strip) option, fix install a b /a/link/to/dir

    <a href=http://busybox.net/fix.html>how to add a patch</a>)</p>

    <p>Since this is a x.x.0 release, it probably does not deserve "stable"
    label. Please help making 1.6.1 stable by testing 1.6.0.</p>
    <p>Note that hush shell had many changes and (hopefully) is much improved now,
    but there is a possibility that it regressed in some obscure cases. Please
    report any such cases.</p>
    <p>lash users please note: lash is going to be deprecated in busybox 1.7.0
    and removed in the more distant future. Please migrate to hush.</p>
    <p><a href=http://busybox.net/~vda/mem_usage-1.6.0.txt>Memory usage has decreased, but we can do better still</a></p>

        not only in /cgi-bin/
    <li>chrt: new applet
    <li>SELinux: SELinux-related code and -Z option added to several applets,
        new SELinux-specific applets: chcon, runcon.
    <li>Build system: produces link map, uses -Wwrite-strings to catch

    (<a href=http://busybox.net/downloads/fixes-1.4.0/>patches</a>)</p>

    <p>Since this is a x.x.0 release, it probably is a bit less "stable"
    than usual.</p>
    <p>Changes since previous release:
    <ul>
    <li>e2fsprogs are mostly removed from busybox. Some smaller parts remain,
    the rest of it sits disabled in e2fsprogs/old_e2fsprogs/*, because
    it's too bloated. Really. I'm afraid it's about the only way we can
    ever get e2fsprogs cleaned up.
    <li>less: many improvements. Now can display binary files
    (although I expect it to have trouble with displays where 8bit chars
    don't have 1-to-1 char/glyph relationship). Regexp search is not buggy
    anymore. Less does not read entire input up-front. Reads input
    as it appears (yay!). Works rather nice as man pager. I recommend it
    for general use now.
    <li>IPv6: generic support is in place, many networking applets are
    upgraded to be IPv6 capable. Probably some work remains, but it is
    already much better than what we had previously.
    <li>arp: new applet (thanks to Eric Spakman).
    <li>fakeidentd: non-forking standalone server part was taking ~90%
    of the applet. Factored it out (in fact, rewrote it).
    <li>syslogd: mostly rewritten.
    <li>decompress_unzip, gzip: sanitized a bit.
    <li>sed: better hadling of NULs
    <li>httpd: stop adding our own "Content-type:" to CGI output
    <li>chown: user.grp works again.
    <li>minor bugfixes to: passwd, date, tftp, start_stop_daemon, tar,
    ps, ifupdown, time, su, stty, awk, ping[6], sort,...
    </ul>
    </p>

    (<a href=http://busybox.net/downloads/fixes-1.3.0/>patches</a>)</p>

    <p>This release has CONFIG_DESKTOP option which enables features
    needed for busybox usage on desktop machine. For example, find, chmod
    and chown get several less frequently used options, od is significantly
    bigger but matches GNU coreutils, etc. Intended to eventually make
    busybox a viable alternative for "standard" utilities for slightly
    adventurous desktop users.
    <p>Changes since previous release:
    <ul>
    <li>find: taking many more of standard options
    <li>ps: POSIX-compliant -o implemented
    <li>cp: added -s, -l
    <li>grep: added -r, fixed -h
    <li>watch: make it exec child like standard one does (was totally
        incompatible)
    <li>tar: fix limitations which were preventing bbox tar usage
        on big directories: long names and linknames, pax headers
        (Linux kernel tarballs have that). Fixed a number of obscure bugs.
        Raised max file limit (now 64Gb). Security fixes (/../ attacks).
    <li>httpd: added -i (inetd), -f (foreground), support for
        directory indexer CGI (example is included), bugfixes.
    <li>telnetd: fixed/improved IPv6 support, inetd+standalone support,
        other fixes. Useful IPv6 stuff factored out into libbb.
    <li>runit/*: new applets adapted from http://smarden.sunsite.dk/runit/
        (these are my personal favorite small-and-beautiful toys)
    <li>minor bugfixes to: login, dd, mount, umount, chmod, chown, ln, udhcp,
        fdisk, ifconfig, sort, tee, mkswap, wget, insmod.
    </ul>
    <p>Note that GnuPG key used to sign this release is different.
    1.2.2.1 is also signed post-factum now. Sorry for the mess.

    <p><a href=http://busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.2.2.1.tar.bz2>BusyBox 1.2.2.1</a>.</p>

    <p>Added compile-time warning that static linking against glibc
    produces buggy executables.
  </li>

  <li><b>24 October 2006 -- BusyBox 1.2.2 (stable)</b>
    <p>It's a bit overdue, but
    <a href=http://busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.2.2.tar.bz2>here is
    BusyBox 1.2.2</a>.</p>

    <p>This release has dozens of fixes backported from the ongoing development
    branch.  There are a couple of bugfixes to sed, two fixes to documentation
    generation (BusyBox.html shouldn't have USE() macros in it anymore), fix
    umount to report the right errno on failure and to umount block devices by
    name with newer kernels, fix mount to handle symlinks properly, make mdev
    delete device nodes when called for hotplug remove, fix a segfault
    in traceroute, a minor portability fix to md5sum option parsing, a build
    fix for httpd with old gccs, an options parsing tweak to hdparm, make test
    fail gracefully when getgroups() returns -1, fix a race condition in
    modprobe when two instances run at once (hotplug does this), make "tar xf
    foo.tar dir/dir" extract all subdirectories, make our getty initialize the
    terminal more like mingetty, an selinux build fix, an endianness fix in
    ping6, fix for zcip defending addresses, clean up some global variables in
    gzip to save memory, fix sulogin -tNNN, a help text tweak, several warning
    fixes and build fixes, fixup dnsd a bit, and a partridge in a pear tree.</p>

    <p>As <a href=http://lwn.net/Articles/202106/>Linux Weekly News noted</a>,
    this is my (Rob's) last release of BusyBox.  The new maintainer is Denis
    Vlasenko, I'm off to do <a href=http://landley.net/code>other things</a>.
    </p>
  </li>

  <li><b>29 September 2006 -- New license email address.</b>
    <p>The email address gpl@busybox.net is now the recommended way to contact
    the Software Freedom Law Center to report BusyBox license violations.</p>

  <li><b>31 July 2006 -- BusyBox 1.2.1 (stable)</b>
    <p>Since nobody seems to have objected too loudly over the weekend, I
    might as well point you all at
    <a href="http://busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.2.1.tar.bz2">Busybox
    1.2.1</a>, a bugfix-only release with no new features.</p>

    <p>It has three shell fixes (two to lash: going "var=value" without
    saying "export" should now work, plus a missing null pointer check, and
    one to ash when redirecting output to a file that fills up.)  Fix three
    embarassing thinkos in the new dmesg command.  Two build tweaks
    (dependencies for the compressed usage messages and running make in the
    libbb subdirectory).  One fix to tar so it can extract git-generated
    tarballs (rather than barfing on the pax extensions).  And a partridge
    in a pear...  Ahem.</p>

    <p>But wait, there's more!  A passwd changing fix so an empty
    gecos field doesn't trigger a false objection that the new passwd contains
    the gecos field.  Make all our setuid() and setgid() calls check the return
    value in case somebody's using per-process resource limits that prevent
    a user from having too many processes (and thus prevent a process from
    switching away from root, in which case the process will now _die_ rather
    than continue with root privileges).  A fix to adduser to make sure that
    /etc/group gets updated.  And a fix to modprobe to look for modules.conf
    in the right place on 2.6 kernels.</p>

  <li><b>30 June 2006 -- BusyBox 1.2.0</b>
    <p>The -devel branch has been stabilized and the result is
    <a href="http://busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.2.0.tar.bz2">Busybox
    1.2.0</a>.  Lots of stuff changed, I need to work up a decent changelog
    over the weekend.</p>

    <p>I'm still experimenting with how long is best for the development
    cycle, and since we've got some largeish projects queued up I'm going to
    try a longer one.  Expect 1.3.0 in December.  (Expect 1.2.1 any time
    we fix enough bugs. :)</p>

    <p>Update: Here are <a href="http://busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.2.0.fixes.patch">the first few bug fixes</a> that will go into 1.2.1.</p>

  <li><b>17 May 2006 -- BusyBox 1.1.3 (stable)</b>
    <p><a href="http://busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.1.3.tar.bz2">BusyBox
    1.1.3</a> is another bugfix release.  It makes passwd use salt, fixes a
    memory freeing bug in ls, fixes "build all sources at once" mode, makes
    mount -a not abort on the first failure, fixes msh so ctrl-c doesn't kill
    background processes, makes patch work with patch hunks that don't have a
    timestamp, make less's text search a lot more robust (the old one could
    segfault), and fixes readlink -f when built against uClibc.</p>

    <p>Expect 1.2.0 sometime next month, which won't be a bugfix release.</p>

  <li><b>10 April 2006 -- BusyBox 1.1.2 (stable)</b>
    <p>You can now download <a href="http://busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.1.2.tar.bz2">BusyBox 1.1.2</a>, a bug fix release consisting of 11 patches
    backported from the development branch: Some build fixes, several fixes
    for mount and nfsmount, a fix for insmod on big endian systems, a fix for
    find -xdev, and a fix for comm.  Check the file "changelog" in the tarball
    for more info.</p>

    <p>The next new development release (1.2.0) is slated for June.  A 1.1.3
    will be released before then if more bug fixes crop up.  (The new plan is
    to have a 1.x.0 new development release every 3 months, with 1.x.y stable
    bugfix only releases based on that as appropriate.)</p>

  <li><b>27 March 2006 -- Software Freedom Law Center representing BusyBox and uClibc</b>
    <p>One issue Erik Andersen wanted to resolve when handing off BusyBox
    maintainership to Rob Landley was license enforcement.  BusyBox and
    uClibc's existing license enforcement efforts (pro-bono representation
    by Erik's father's law firm, and the
    <a href="http://www.busybox.net/shame.html">Hall of Shame</a>), haven't
    scaled to match the popularity of the projects.  So we put our heads
    together and did the obvious thing: ask Pamela Jones of
    <a href="http://www.groklaw.net">Groklaw</a> for suggestions.  She
    referred us to the fine folks at softwarefreedom.org.</p>

    <p>As a result, we're pleased to announce that the
    <a href="http://www.softwarefreedom.org">Software Freedom Law Center</a>
    has agreed to represent BusyBox and uClibc.  We join a number of other
    free and open source software projects (such as
    <a href="http://lwn.net/Articles/141806/">X.org</a>,
    <a href="http://lwn.net/Articles/135413/">Wine</a>, and
    <a href="http://plone.org/foundation/newsitems/software-freedom-law-center-support/">Plone</a>
    in being represented by a fairly cool bunch of lawyers, which is not a
    phrase you get to use every day.</p>

  <li><b>22 March 2006 -- BusyBox 1.1.1</b>
    <p>The new maintainer is Rob Landley, and the new release is <a href="http://busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.1.1.tar.bz2">BusyBox 1.1.1</a>.  Expect a "what's new" document in a few days.  (Also, Erik and I have have another announcement pending...)</p>
    <p>Update: Rather than put out an endless stream of 1.1.1.x releases,
    the various small fixes have been collected together into a
    <a href="http://busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.1.1.fixes.patch">patch</a>,
    and new fixes will be appended to that as needed.  Expect 1.1.2 around
    June.</p>
  </li>
  <li><b>11 January 2006 -- 1.1.0 is out</b>
    <p>The new stable release is
    <a href="http://www.busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.1.0.tar.bz2">BusyBox
    1.1.0</a>.  It has a number of improvements, including several new applets.
    (It also has <a href="http://www.busybox.net/lists/busybox/2006-January/017733.html">a few rough spots</a>,
    but we're trying out a "release early, release often" strategy to see how
    that works.  Expect 1.1.1 sometime in March.)</p>
