Erik Andersen73c8c9c2000-05-13 05:36:13 +00002 * Added BB_FEATURE_TRIVIAL_HELP which compiles out most all of the
3 help messages (i.e --help). Saves 17k over a full compile.
Erik Andersen7ab9c7e2000-05-12 19:41:47 +00004 * Added cut and tr from minix, since due to the license change,
5 we can now use minix code. Minix tr saves 4k.
Eric Andersen9f16d612000-06-12 23:11:16 +00006 * insmod now works. It costs 29k, but imagine an initrd with a
7 staticly linked busybox containing only insmod and sh, a few /dev
8 entries, and a kernel module or two... It doesn't get smaller
9 then this folks (I pity the fool that writes insmod in asm ;-).
10 Many kudos go to Ron Alder <alder@lineo.com> for finishing this off!!!
Eric Andersen380e58a2000-06-02 03:25:00 +000011 * Added a mini ar archive utility, especially written for BusyBox by
12 Glenn McGrath <bug1@netconnect.com.au>
Eric Andersen9f16d612000-06-12 23:11:16 +000013 * Added mktemp, contributed by Daniel Jacobowitz <dan@debian.org>
14 * Added setkeycodes, for those that have wierd keyboard buttons.
Eric Andersen2b6ab3c2000-06-13 06:54:53 +000015 * Added md5sum, uuencode and uudecode -- thanks to Alfred M. Szmidt
16 <ams@trillian.itslinux.org> for contributing these.
Erik Andersen330fd2b2000-05-19 05:35:19 +000017 * Added 'grep -v' option (inverted search) and updated
18 docs accordingly. -beppu
19 * Wrote which
20 * BusyBox sh (lash) now supports being used as a standalone shell. When
21 BB_FEATURE_STANDALONE_SHELL is defined, all the busybox commands may
22 be invoked as shell internals. Best used when compiling staticly
23 (i.e. DOSTATIC=true)
Eric Andersen89960b82000-05-31 20:08:30 +000024 * BusyBox sh (lash) internals now behave as expected wrt pipes
25 and redirects.
Erik Andersen73c8c9c2000-05-13 05:36:13 +000026 * Fixed ping warnings -- fix from Sascha Ziemann <szi@aibon.ping.de>
Erik Andersen6ed02a02000-04-28 22:10:34 +000027 * Fixed update segfault
28 * Fixed mknod -- minor number was always 0
Eric Andersen89960b82000-05-31 20:08:30 +000029 * Fixed tar option parsing, so both "tar xvf foo.tar" and
30 "tar -xvf foo.tar" now work (i.e. no "-" before options)
31 (this was very broken in 0.43).
Erik Andersen94f5e0b2000-05-01 19:10:52 +000032 * Several contributions from Randolph Chung <tausq@debian.org>.
Erik Andersen73c8c9c2000-05-13 05:36:13 +000033 * cp/mv now accepts the -f flag
Erik Andersen94f5e0b2000-05-01 19:10:52 +000034 * tail can now accept -<num> commands (e.g. -10) for better
35 compatibility with the standard tail command
Erik Andersenac130e12000-05-10 05:00:31 +000036 * added a simple id implementation; doesn't support sup. groups yet
37 * logname used getlogin(3) which uses utmp. Now it doesn't.
Erik Andersen5afc8642000-05-02 00:07:56 +000038 * whoami used getpwuid(3) which uses libc NSS. Now it behaves.
Erik Andersen0e713ce2000-05-05 19:50:32 +000039 * Add support for "noatime" and "nodiratime" mount flags to mount.
40 * Changed 'umount -f' to mean force, and actually use umount2.
41 * Changed 'umount -l' to mean "Do not free loop device".
Erik Andersenac130e12000-05-10 05:00:31 +000042 * Fixed basename to support stripping of suffixes. Patch thanks
43 to xiong jianxin <jxiong@uiuc.edu>
Erik Andersen59b9e872000-05-10 05:05:45 +000044 * cp -fa now works as expected for symlinks (it didn't before)
45 * zcat now works (wasn't working since option parsing was broken)
Erik Andersen330fd2b2000-05-19 05:35:19 +000046 * Renamed "mnc" to the more correct "nc" (for netcat).
Erik Andersen73c8c9c2000-05-13 05:36:13 +000047 * Makefile intelligence updates
Eric Andersenb5966362000-05-31 20:04:38 +000048 * Changed the way init parses /etc/inittab entries to avoid problems
49 with commands that contain colons in them. Fix thanks to
50 Pavel Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>
Eric Andersen86ab8a32000-06-02 03:21:42 +000051 * Fixed a warning in utility.c due to char being unsigned on Linux/PPC,
52 Fix thanks to Pavel Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>
53 * Made "killall" complain (not error and exit) about processes that it
Eric Andersenb3cf9ba2000-06-08 15:25:39 +000054 cannot find by name -- Pavel Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>
Eric Andersen86ab8a32000-06-02 03:21:42 +000055 * Fixed more and ps to have sensible terminal width defaults, thanks
56 to Pavel Roskin.
57 * Fixed all fatalError() calls lacking a "\n", thanks to Pavel Roskin.
Eric Andersen9c8ffa02000-06-02 17:51:39 +000058 * Fixed a segfault in yes when no args were given -- Pavel Roskin.
Eric Andersenef4268e2000-06-04 05:08:29 +000059 * Simplified freeramdisk and added argument checking -- Pavel Roskin.
Eric Andersen815e9042000-06-06 16:15:23 +000060 * Fixed segfault caused by "touch -c"
61 * Fixed segfault caused by "rm -f"
62 * Fixed segfault caused by "ln -s -s" and similar abuses.
63 * Fixed segfault caused by "cp -a -a" and similar abuses.
64 * Implemented "rm -- <foo>"
Pavel Roskinc389d912000-06-05 23:41:27 +000065 * "which" rewritten to use stat(). Fixes to improve its compatability
66 with traditional implementations -- Pavel Roskin.
Pavel Roskin680d65a2000-06-06 17:03:55 +000067 * "mount" now reports errors from nfsmount() and assumes NFS mount
68 if ':' is present in the device name - Pavel Roskin
Pavel Roskin700a5ae2000-06-06 18:10:17 +000069 * Fixed exit status for killall - Pavel Roskin
Eric Andersena42982e2000-06-07 17:28:53 +000070 * Fixed 'swapon -a' and 'swapoff -a', which were broken.
71 * Fixed 'mount -a' so it works as expected.
72 * Implemented 'ls -R' (enabled by enabling BB_FEATURE_LS_RECURSIVE)
Pavel Roskin0024abc2000-06-07 20:38:15 +000073 * Implemented "ping -s", fixed error messages and argument parsing -
74 Pavel Roskin
Pavel Roskinda10ec02000-06-07 21:08:25 +000075 * Syslogd will not go to background if "-n" is given. Better help
76 and argument checking -- Pavel Roskin
Eric Andersen0c6a9702000-06-09 20:51:50 +000077 * Fixed a small bug that could cause tar to emit warning messages
78 and not extract the first file in a directory in some cases
79 of nested directories. Thanks to Kevin Traas <kevin@netmaster.com>
80 for helping track this one down.
Erik Andersen73c8c9c2000-05-13 05:36:13 +000081 * More doc updates
Eric Andersenbaf22bf2000-06-13 00:49:41 +000082 * Fixed grep "Line too long" problem -- John Beppu
Eric Andersen053b1462000-06-13 06:24:53 +000083 * Fixed 'grep -q -i B some_file' so it works
John Beppu44760d02000-06-12 23:04:55 +000084 * math takes input from stdin if no args are given. -- John Beppu

Erik Andersene5b6c7d2000-04-17 16:16:10 +000092 * Major update to the provided documentation.
Erik Andersend75af992000-03-16 08:09:09 +000093 * Busybox now includes a shell! It currently costs 7.5 k (plus an
94 additional 2.5 k if you compile in command line editing). Handles
95 job control, has the usual set of builtins, and does everything
96 except for handling programming statements (if, while, etc...)
Erik Andersen2ac2fae2000-03-07 23:32:17 +000097 * Busybox can now work perfectly when /proc is disabled, thereby
Erik Andersen269bba22000-03-08 14:50:47 +000098 saving a bunch of memory (kernel /proc support is not thin). This
99 is done by making use of some nice kernel patches I wrote up to
100 support the features that busybox requires and that /proc usually
101 provides. To enable this, turn on BB_FEATURE_USE_DEVPS_PATCH and
102 patch your kernel with the devps patch in the kernel-patches/
103 directory.
Erik Andersen9cf3bfa2000-04-13 18:49:43 +0000104 * Wrote basename, dirname, killall, and uptime.
Erik Andersen0817d132000-04-09 15:17:40 +0000105 * tar has been completely rewritten by me. Both tar creation and
106 extraction are now well behaved. Costs 7.6k with all optional
107 tar features enabled, and 5k for just tar extraction support.
Erik Andersen64371702000-03-04 22:23:27 +0000108 * Added freeramdisk, which will free up all memory associated
109 with a ram disk. Contributed by Emanuele Caratti <wiz@iol.it>
110 and then adjusted a bit by me.
Erik Andersen9cf3bfa2000-04-13 18:49:43 +0000111 * Added tr from John Lombardo <john@deltanet.com>
Erik Andersend75af992000-03-16 08:09:09 +0000112 * Added echo and test (from me).
Erik Andersenb99ca132000-04-04 18:49:18 +0000113 * Added usleep contributed by Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org>
Erik Andersenb9167cb2000-04-18 22:41:30 +0000114 * BusyBox's bss size has been majorly reduced (was 384668, is now 28740).
Erik Andersene2729152000-02-18 21:34:17 +0000115 * Several fixes from Pavel Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>:
Erik Andersen9cf3bfa2000-04-13 18:49:43 +0000116 - When `tail' fails to open a file it now exits.
Erik Andersene2729152000-02-18 21:34:17 +0000117 - When `syslogd' is given the `-n' option it should still use
118 fork() for running klogd.
119 * nslookup types are now changed to u_int32_t (instead of uint32_t)
120 changed per a patch from Pascal Bellard <pascal.bellard@ascend.com>
Erik Andersen42387e42000-02-21 17:27:17 +0000121 * Fixed "du" so it gives the same answers as GNU "du" (busybox du used
122 to count hard-linked files more then once). Many thanks to
Erik Andersen27fdd082000-02-19 18:16:49 +0000123 Friedrich Vedder <fwv@myrtle.lahn.de> for the fix.
Erik Andersen5b911dd2000-02-23 22:49:58 +0000124 * Removed /proc dependancies for init and free (while maintaining
125 exactly the same functionality). /proc takes up 90k of kernel
126 space, so it is nice to avoid using it at all costs.
127 * init no longer tries to mount /proc (unless there is less the 1 meg
128 free). Use of /proc (or not) is policy that should be set up in
129 /etc/fstab (or in hardcoded scripts), not in init.
130 * Fixed rebooting when init runs as an initrd.
Erik Andersen029011b2000-03-04 21:19:32 +0000131 * Fixes and updates from Karl M. Hegbloom <karlheg@debian.org>
132 - update.c rewritten to look more like update-2.11
133 - moveed the inode hash out of du.c and into utility.c to make
134 it a common resource that can be used by other apps.
135 - cp_mv.c now checks inodes to see if a source and dest are
136 the same, and prints an error (instead of endlessly looping).
137 - mv now attempts to do a rename, and will fall back to doing
138 a copy only if the rename fails.
Erik Andersen183da4a2000-04-04 18:36:37 +0000139 - Syslogd now supports multiple concurrent connections
Erik Andersen029011b2000-03-04 21:19:32 +0000140 * Several fixes from Pavel Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>:
141 - Fixes to sort. Removed "-g", fixed and added "-r"
142 - Fixes to the makefile for handling "strip"
143 * An initial telnet implementation was added by
144 Randolph Chung <tausq@debian.org>.
Erik Andersen246cc6d2000-03-07 07:41:42 +0000145 * Fixed a bug where "sed 's/foo/bar/g'" (i.e. a script w/o a "-e")
Erik Andersen2ac2fae2000-03-07 23:32:17 +0000146 * ps now supports BB_FEATURE_AUTOWIDTH, and can adjust its width
147 to match the terminal (defaults to width=79 when this is off).
Erik Andersena3e57ca2000-04-19 03:38:01 +0000148 * ps now accepts (and ignores) all options except for "--help" (which
149 as would be expected displays help).
Erik Andersence917322000-03-13 04:07:02 +0000150 * Fixed mount'ing loop devices when the filesystem type was not
151 specified. It used to revert to non-loop after the first try.
Erik Andersen0d068a22000-03-21 22:32:57 +0000152 * all mallocs now use xmalloc (and so are OOM error safe), and
153 the common error handling saves a few bytes. Thanks to
154 Bob Tinsley <bob@earthrise.demon.co.uk> for the patch.
Erik Andersen298854f2000-03-23 01:09:18 +0000155 * Fix "+" parsing bug in date, from "Merle F. McClelland" <mfm@cts.com>.
Erik Andersenb9167cb2000-04-18 22:41:30 +0000156 * Fix symlink following bug in chmod -R and friends.
157 * Now allows SYSV style 'chown foo:bar' in addition to 'chown foo.bar'
158 * Fixed a bug in the busybox globbing routine such that 'find /dir -name [i]'
159 no longer segfaults.

Erik Andersenfac10d72000-02-07 05:29:42 +0000166
167 * Fairly massive restructuring of umount.c to deal with remounting
168 busy devices read-only. Adds a -r option to control that; it is
169 optionally compiled in with BB_FEATURE_REMOUNT
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000170 * Added a bunch of functions to mtab.c to interact with the
171 {get,set,end}mntent interface; as it turns out, those functions do
Erik Andersenfac10d72000-02-07 05:29:42 +0000172 not appear to be re-entrant, and that causes a lot of problems with
173 the way umount was originally written.
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000174 * Makes init send TERM and KILL (instead of HUP and KILL) on reboot
Erik Andersenfac10d72000-02-07 05:29:42 +0000175 to be more consistent with sysvinit
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000176 * Changes to init.c to use the new -r option to umount. Also increased
Erik Andersenfac10d72000-02-07 05:29:42 +0000177 the sleep time between the time the TERM and KILL signals are sent

182 * cp.c, mv.c: removed, replaced by cp_mv.c which has been
183 extensively rewritten from the original cp.c.
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000184 * Fixed cp and mv so if the source and destination are a the
185 same directory it will print an error and continue.
Erik Andersenfac10d72000-02-07 05:29:42 +0000186 * Also added a warning message to the `mv' usage string saying that
187 this is not GNU mv, and it will break hard links. cp also breaks
188 hard links.
189 * ln.c: implemented `-n' switch, no-deref symlinks.
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000190 * include<sys/param.h>: and use PATH_MAX everywhere. busybox: File
191 * name buffer overrun guards to prevent future crashes.
Erik Andersenfac10d72000-02-07 05:29:42 +0000192 - Always check exit status.
193 - Purge all use of `creat()', replace with `open()'.
194 * utility.c
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000195 - recursiveAction was overriding the value of followLinks thus
196 ignoring it.
Erik Andersenfac10d72000-02-07 05:29:42 +0000197 - isDirectory now takes a followLinks boolean, updated all callers
198 - copyFile had the followLinks logic reversed.
199 * messages.c: New file. Put common error message strings all in
200 one place in an attempt to shrink the binary a little.

207 * Made tar creation support in busybox tar optional. You no longer
208 * _have_ to put a "-" in front of tar options. Tar could inadvertently

Erik Andersena2f69e52000-01-19 04:30:37 +0000211 * Made grep and grep -h do the right thing wrt printing
212 the file name (it failed to print files names in many cases).
Erik Andersenb2660c72000-01-20 19:51:48 +0000213 * Fix a namespace aliasing problem wereby if du was built in, the
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000214 symlink for both du and dutmp would be installed, or then rm was
Erik Andersenb2660c72000-01-20 19:51:48 +0000215 built in, the symlinks for both rm and rmmod would be installed.
Erik Andersende552872000-01-23 01:34:05 +0000216 * Added a closelog() to init.c after loging -- fix thanks to
217 Taketoshi Sano <kgh12351@nifty.ne.jp>
218 * Rewrote and simplified logger. Added the "-t" option, and made it
219 behave itself a bit better.
220 * Optional support contributed by Ben Collins <bcollins@debian.org>
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000221 for the kernel init chroot patch by Werner Almesberger, which
Erik Andersende552872000-01-23 01:34:05 +0000222 allows init to chroot to a new device, and umount the old one.
John Beppu9bc7e892000-01-23 13:54:15 +0000223 * Fixed bug that wouldn't let one chown a symlink -- it would
Erik Andersenfac10d72000-02-07 05:29:42 +0000224 always dereference before. -beppu
Erik Andersen3fe39dc2000-01-25 18:13:53 +0000225 * Fixed a bug where init could have reference already freed memory.
226 Found and fixed by Taketoshi Sano <kgh12351@nifty.ne.jp>
227 * Several contributions from Friedrich Vedder <fwv@myrtle.lahn.de>
Erik Andersen27fdd082000-02-19 18:16:49 +0000228 * Added (and documented) "-n" option for head
229 * Cleanup for a number of usage messages -- also
Erik Andersen3fe39dc2000-01-25 18:13:53 +0000230 contributed Friedrich Vedder <fwv@myrtle.lahn.de>
231 * Cosmetic fix to busybox.c (Don't print a comma at the
232 end of line if there are no more application names).
Erik Andersence5b4662000-01-27 19:50:47 +0000233 * Fixed a stupid bug in "head" option handling ("head -n"
234 would segfault).
Erik Andersen3fe39dc2000-01-25 18:13:53 +0000235 * Moved commonly used functions "xmalloc()" and "exit()"
236 to utility.c (with proper #ifdef's).
237 * Created a tiny tail implementation, removing -c, -q, -v, and making
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000238 tail -f work only with a single file. This reduced tail from 6k to
239 2.4k. The bigger/more featured tail can still be had by disabling
Erik Andersen27fdd082000-02-19 18:16:49 +0000240 BB_FEATURE_SIMPLE_TAIL in busybox.defs.h
Erik Andersen5cbdd712000-01-26 20:06:48 +0000241 * Ping now falls back to doing the right thing if /etc/protocols
242 turns up missing.
243 * Fixed mount and umount. Previously they could leak loop device
244 allocations, causing the system to quickly run out. Fix for umount
245 by Ben Collins <bcollins@debian.org>, and mount was fixed by me.
Erik Andersence5b4662000-01-27 19:50:47 +0000246 * ls formatting on eight charactor user names fixed by
247 Randolph Chung <tausq@debian.org>.
248 * cp could, when copying symlinks, change permissions of the
249 files pointed to by the symlinks.
Erik Andersenfac10d72000-02-07 05:29:42 +0000250 * Several fixes from Pavel Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>:
251 - `chown' with 1 argument displayed the error incorrectly
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000252 - `fdflush', `length' and `printf' crashed if run without arguments
Erik Andersenfac10d72000-02-07 05:29:42 +0000253 - `fdflush' tried to flush itself using *argv
254 - added "skip" and "seek" to dd.
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000255 - ls no longer messus up output when combining files and
256 directories on the command line
Erik Andersenbf5f0092000-02-14 18:44:33 +0000257 * swapoff -a was not working. Now it is.
258 * init did not cleanly unmount filesystems on reboot. Now it does.
259 * "sed -ne s/foo/bar/" worked but "sed -n -e s/foo/bar/" didn't.
Erik Andersen4d054312000-02-10 07:31:15 +0000260 Now both work.
261 * Some architectures (PowerPc) assume chars are unsigned, so they could
262 not distinguish between EOF and '\0xFF' in sed. Sed now uses ints.
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000263 * Began converting error handling to use some common routines
264 in utility.c
265 * syslogd now has better message handling and ignores SIGHUP.
266 * install.sh had a bug preventing installation to the specified
267 target directory. Fix from Gilbert Coville <gilbert@mvista.com>
268 * You can now spefify alternative strip commands -- change
269 also from Gilbert Coville.

Erik Andersen1dbc17f2000-01-08 21:16:29 +0000277 * Fixed a bug in both cp and mv preventing 'cp foo/README bar'
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000278 type commands (file in a directory to another directory) from
279 working.
Erik Andersen9a9a2612000-01-09 06:49:08 +0000280 * Fixed a logger bug that caused garbage to be written to the syslog
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000281 (unless you used busybox syslog, which hid the bug). Thanks to
282 Alex Holden <alex@linuxhacker.org> for the fix.
283 * /bin/true and /bin/false were echoing a blank line when run.
284 Now fixed.
Erik Andersen05df2392000-01-13 04:43:48 +0000285 * mkdir -p would print an error when asked to mkdir an existing dir
286 with no interveining subdirectories.
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000287 * Fixed "syslogd -O" so that it works. Added -o loop option for mount,
288 * and support in umount for loop
Erik Andersenb7cc49d2000-01-13 06:38:14 +0000289 devices. Support is toggled by MOUNT_LOOP feature -- Ben Collins

Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000291 * Several fixes from Marco Pantaleoni <panta@prosa.it> compile in

Erik Andersen31638212000-01-15 22:28:50 +0000293 if BB_CP or BB_MV are (fullWrite() is referenced by copyFile())
294 * add some compiler optimizations to further reduce executable size
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000295 (as a side note, on my machines the largest code is generated
296 by gcc 2.95.2 with -Os ! The smallest by plain gcc 2.7.2.3 with
297 -O2 -m386 ...)
298 * Compile now won't fail if busybox.def.h defines
299 BB_FEATURE_LINUXRC but not BB_INIT. (init_main used to be
300 referenced, but not compiled)
Erik Andersen31638212000-01-15 22:28:50 +0000301 * Fixed a bug in setting TERM for serial console support. TERM now
302 defaults to "ansi" for serial consoles.
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000303 * Fixed a bug in handling the CONSOLE env. variable for serial
304 * consoles.

Erik Andersen812d4662000-01-07 18:30:40 +0000312 for loading application character maps for Unicode fonts.
313 * Major init re-work. init now supports inittab (slightly different
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000314 but similar to sysvinit), allowing me to get all the policy out of
315 init and into the conf file. It works just fine without inittab
Erik Andersen812d4662000-01-07 18:30:40 +0000316 being present, but if you dont like the defautl behavior you can
317 now do something about it. Init is much cleaner as a result.
318 * Fixed an bug in syslogd causing it to stop after 20 minutes. -erik
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000319 * Fixed an embarrasing segfault in head -beppu Fixed the embarrasing
320 * failure of 'logger -p'. -erik Added the -s option to du -beppu
Erik Andersen7dc16072000-01-04 01:10:25 +0000321 * Re-worked the source tree a bit so it will compile under glibc 2.0.7
Erik Andersen4d1d0111999-12-17 18:44:15 +0000322 with the 2.0.x Linux kernel.
Erik Andersen3fe2ecf1999-12-21 08:52:04 +0000323 * Added 'grep -q' thanks to a patch from "Konstantin Boldyshev"
324 <konst@voshod.com>.
Erik Andersen812d4662000-01-07 18:30:40 +0000325 * Grep -i previously failed on UPPER CASE patterns due to a silly
326 regexp implementation bug that is now fixed.
Erik Andersen00266d31999-12-28 00:17:46 +0000327 * Fixed a bug where tar would set, and then clear SGID and SUID bits.
328 * Fixed a bug where tar would not set the user and group on device
329 special files.
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000330 * Fixed a bug where tar would not restore the time to files. Fixed a
331 * major security problem with tar -- it changed ownership
Erik Andersen812d4662000-01-07 18:30:40 +0000332 of any file pointed to by a symlink to 777 (like say libc....)
333 Ouch!!!
Erik Andersen7dc16072000-01-04 01:10:25 +0000334 * cp and mv were very broken when moving directories. I have rewritten
Erik Andersen812d4662000-01-07 18:30:40 +0000335 them so they should now work as expected.
Erik Andersen1266a131999-12-29 22:19:46 +0000336 * sed now supports addresses (numeric or regexp, with negation) and
337 has an append command, thanks to Marco Pantaleoni <panta@prosa.it>
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000338 * Fixed dmesg. It wasn't parsing its options (-n or -s) properly.
Erik Andersen1266a131999-12-29 22:19:46 +0000339 * Some cosmetic fixes to ls output formatting to make it behave more
340 like GNU ls.
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000341 * Fixed a stupid segfault in kill. Several fixes from Friedrich Vedder
342 * <fwv@myrtle.lahn.de>:
Erik Andersen7dc16072000-01-04 01:10:25 +0000343 - Added gunzip -t, removed gunzip.c dead code,

345 - Glibc 2.0.7 and libc5 compile fixes
Erik Andersen812d4662000-01-07 18:30:40 +0000346 * Fixed a bug where 'mknod --help' would segfault.

353 <tausq@debian.org>. 3 items off the TODO list!
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000354 * I wrote free (just calls "cat /proc/meminfo"). Added tail, based on
355 * tail from GNU textutils-1.19, but adjusted
356 to suit my evil purposes. Costs 6k. I'll make it smaller
357 sometime.
Eric Andersen485b9551999-12-07 23:14:59 +0000358 * on reboot, init called 'umount -a -n', which caused errors
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000359 when BB_MTAB was not enabled. Changed to 'umount -a', which does
360 the right thing.
Eric Andersenabc0f4f1999-12-08 23:19:36 +0000361 * init will now try to run /sbin/getty if it is present (for easy
362 integration with the about-to-be-released tinylogin.)
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000363 * kill now behaves itself properly, added 'kill -l' to list signals 'ls
364 * -l' was failing on long directories, since my_getid was leaking
Eric Andersen1792f8c1999-12-09 06:11:36 +0000365 one file descriptor per file. Oops.
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000366 * Fixed rebooting from init. I'd accidently left some debugging code
367 * in
Eric Andersenf0758dd1999-12-09 07:57:58 +0000368 which blocked reboots.
Eric Andersen2cb55071999-12-10 08:25:07 +0000369 * Fixed reboot, halt (and added poweroff) such that they handle it when
370 init is not at PID 1 (like when running in an initrd).
John Beppu29fcc901999-12-09 23:33:04 +0000371 * Added a prelinary du implementation. Some parameter parsing
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000372 stuff still needs to be added. -beppu (John Beppu
373 <beppu@lineo.com>)

379 * Fixed a segfault in 'umount -a' when a badly formed /etc/fstab
380 file existed.
Eric Andersend00c2621999-12-07 08:37:31 +0000381 * df will not exit on error, but will stat all mounted filesystems.
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000382 * Fixed tar so uid/gid/permissions on extracted tarballs will be
383 correct.
Eric Andersenb186d981999-12-03 09:19:54 +0000384 * Fixed find -name so it properly uses shell wildcard patterns
385 (i.e. `*', `?', and `[]') instead of regular expressions, which
386 was causing some confusing and unexpected behavior.
Eric Andersende1d6121999-12-03 15:14:25 +0000387 * Added klogd to syslogd, so now the log will contain both system and
388 kernel messages.
Eric Andersen0ecb54a1999-12-05 23:24:55 +0000389 * syslogd now creates the /dev/log socket to make sure it is there, and
390 is actually a socket with the right permissions.
Eric Andersend00c2621999-12-07 08:37:31 +0000391 * I've taken a first step to making busybox not need the /proc
392 filesystem. Most apps don't need it. Those that _require_ it,
393 will complain if you enable them when you disable
394 BB_FEATURE_USE_PROCFS.

Eric Andersenbefda6e1999-11-25 08:06:22 +0000399 * Wrote a micro syslogd, and a logger util (to log things to the syslog
400 from the command line or scripts) With both compiled in, costs 4k.
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000401 * Fixed 'make install' so symlinks are installed in their proper
402 * locations. Changed the build system slightly so that features can
403 * now be enabled
404 or disabled from the busybox.defs.h header file, without trying to
405 compile in a source file named after that featue (unless that file
406 exists).
407 * Several options are now moved into busybox.defs.h Now 'rm -R' and 'rm
408 * -r' both work. dd now properly handles input beyond 1 block from
409 * stdin. Fixed a bug where tar unpacked everything a directories.
410 * Moved some code
411 from createPath into mkdir where it belonged, thereby making tar
412 work properly.
413 * Fixed an off-by-one bug in cat. Given a list of file it wouldn't cat
414 * out the
Eric Andersen394f7641999-11-23 21:38:12 +0000415 last file in the list.
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000416 * Fixed 'ls -ln' so numeric group/uid are presented properly, and fixed
417 * 'ls -l'
418 so when uid/gid is not in /etc/{passwd,group} the numeric group/uid
419 are presented properly.

Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000428 * Don't try to close the file descriptor of a pipein tar. (fix also

Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000431 * Made createPath be quiet (again thanks to Eric Delaunay). If
432 * BB_CONSOLE_CMD_IF_RC_SCRIPT_EXITS is defined, then whatever
Eric Andersenb6a44b81999-11-13 04:47:09 +0000433 command you define it as will be run if the init script exits.
Eric Andersended62591999-11-18 00:19:26 +0000434 * Updated install.sh to make it more robust (thanks to Adam Di Carlo)
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000435 * NFS support added to mount by Eric Delaunay. It costs 10k when
436 * compiled
Eric Andersena9c95ea1999-11-15 17:33:30 +0000437 in, but that is still a big win for those that use NFS.
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000438 * Made 'rm -f' be silent for non-existant files (thanks to Eric
439 * Delaunay). changed zcat.c to gunzip.c. It now obeys the principle
440 * of least surprise
441 and acts as god intended gunzip and zcat to act. They answer
442 --help and obey the '-c' flag.
443 * Fixed a bug in mv which caused it to not move files when the
444 * destination
Eric Andersended62591999-11-18 00:19:26 +0000445 was a directory.
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000446 * Fixed a decimal-instead-of-octal bug causing mkdir to make
447 * directories
Eric Andersended62591999-11-18 00:19:26 +0000448 with very wrong permissions.
449 * chmod would overwrite file permissions instead of modifying them.
450 Now it properly modifies permissions.
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000451 * Init now sends warnings destined for the console to /dev/console to
452 * ensure
453 they show up on whatever the active console it. Otherwise
454 important messages (for example that the system is rebooting) were
455 not seen when switched to a different VT.

Eric Andersen96bcfd31999-11-12 01:30:18 +0000464 * Fixed more.c to compile autowidth on sparc and set initial winsize
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000465 to 0,0 in case the TIOCGWINSZ ioctl fails. Fix thanks to Eric

482 * init now properly handles sparc serial consoles and does a
Eric Andersen84d85681999-11-10 20:17:47 +0000483 better job of finding the real console device rather than using
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000484 /dev/console which doesn't support job control. Patch also thanks

Eric Andersen3d8dbe11999-11-09 01:51:02 +0000488 * more will now use the terminal size if BB_FEATURE_AUTOWIDTH is on.
Eric Andersen50d63601999-11-09 01:47:36 +0000489 * rm wouldn't remove a symlink unless the symlink was valid. This was
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000490 a side effect of the busybox 0.32 recursiveAction() fix. Things
Eric Andersen50d63601999-11-09 01:47:36 +0000491 should now work correctly.
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000492 * grep wouldn't grep stdin. Now it does. sed wouldn't sed stdin. Now

502 * Fixed a bug where init could hang instead of rebooting.
Eric Andersen29d2e361999-11-06 06:07:27 +0000503 * Removed some debugging noise from init.c
504 * Fixed ln so it works now (it was very broken).
505 * Fixed df so it won't segfault when there is no /etc/fstab,
506 * If BB_MTAB is not defined, df and mount will whine if /etc/fstab
507 is not installed (since they cannot fixup "/dev/root" to
508 state the real root device name)
509 * merged some redundant code from mtab.c/df.c into utility.c

Eric Andersen99976851999-11-05 01:21:49 +0000514 * More changes -- many thanks to Lineo for paying me to work on
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000515 busybox. If you have any problems please let me know ASAP at
516 andersen@lineo.com or andersee@debian.org
Eric Andersen99976851999-11-05 01:21:49 +0000517 * usage() now prints the BusyBox version. This will help folks
Eric Andersena07f0b01999-10-22 19:49:09 +0000518 realize that they are not in Kansas anymore.
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000519 * Fixed mkdir -m option so that it works. kill segfaulted w/o any
520 * arguments. Now it doesn't do that. kill wasn't properly accepting
521 * signal names. It does now. Added new apps chvt and deallocvt (I
522 * should probably add open) Major rewrite of init.c. Code is now
523 * readable by mere mortals IMHO. Wrote sed -- weighs only 1.8k (5.8k
524 * with full regular expressions!). Fixed a stupid seg-fault in sync
525 * Fixed mount -- mount -a failed to parse and apply mount options Fixed
526 * umount -n (patch thanks to Matthew Grant <grantma@anathoth.gen.nz>)
527 * umount -a no longer umounts /proc Added BB_MTAB, allowing (at the
528 * cost of ~1.5k and the need for a rw /etc)
529 folks to use a real /etc/mtab file instead of a symlink to
530 /proc/mounts. mount, and umount will add/remove entries and df
531 will now use /etc/mtab if BB_MTAB is defined.
Eric Andersencf8c9cf1999-11-05 00:31:46 +0000532 * Fixed a nice bug in recursiveAction() which caused it to infinitely
533 hunt through /proc/../fd/* creating new file descriptors if it
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000534 followed the /dev/fd link over to /proc. recursiveAction() now
535 lstat's the file when followLinks==FALSE so it won't follow links
536 as the name suggests. Fix thanks to Matt Porter
537 <porter@debian.org>.

Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000543 * I added a changelog for version 0.30. adjusted find internals to
544 * make it smaller, and removed
Eric Andersenaa0765e1999-10-22 04:30:20 +0000545 some redundancy.
546 * Fixed a segfault in ps when /etc/passwd or /etc/group
547 are absent. Now will warn you and carry on.
548 * Added in optional _real_ regular expression support (to be
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000549 the basis for a future sed utility). When compiled in it adds
550 3.9k, but makes grep much more capable.
Eric Andersen51f8c891999-10-22 05:14:44 +0000551 * Checked out using nftw(3) for recursive stuff, but unfortunatly
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000552 it wasn't supported before GNU libc 2.1, and some folks use glibc
553 2.0.7 since it is much smaller than that latest and greatest.

558 Major changes -- lots of stuff rewritten. Many thanks to Lineo for
559 paying me to make these updates. If you have any problems with busybox,
Eric Andersenaa0765e1999-10-22 04:30:20 +0000560 or notice any bugs -- please let me know so I can fix it. These
561 changes include:
562
563 Core Changes:
564 * busybox can now invoke apps in two ways: via symlinks to the
565 busybox binary, and as 'busybox [function] [arguments]...'
566 * When invoked as busybox, the list of currently compiled in
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000567 functions is printed out (no this is not bloat -- the list has
568 to be there anyway to map invocation name to function).
Eric Andersenaa0765e1999-10-22 04:30:20 +0000569 * busybox no longer parses command lines for apps or displays their
570 usage info. Each app gets to handle (or not handle) this for
571 itself.
572 * Eliminated monadic, dyadic, descend, block_device, and
573 postprocess. It was cumbersome to have so many programs
574 cobbled together in this way. Without them, the app is much
575 more granular.
576 * All shared code now lives in utility.c, and is properly
577 ifdef'ed to be only included for those apps requiring it.
578 * Eliminated struct FileInfo (the basis of monadic, dyadic, etc)
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000579 so now each app has the function prototype of (da-dum): extern
580 int foo_main(int argc, char** argv); which speeds integration
581 of new apps.
Eric Andersenaa0765e1999-10-22 04:30:20 +0000582 * Adjusted the Makefile to make it easier to
583 {en|dis}able debugging.
584 * Changed default compiler optimization to -Os
585 (optimize for smaller binaries).
586
587 App Changes:
588 * To cope with the new app function prototype and the removal of
589 monadic, dyadic, etc, the following apps were re-written:
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000590 * cat - Works same as always. chgrp, chmod, chown -
591 * rewrite. Combined into a single
592 source file. Absorbed patches from Enrique Zanardi
593 <ezanard@debian.org> that removes the dependency on
594 libc6 libnss* libraries.
Eric Andersenaa0765e1999-10-22 04:30:20 +0000595 * cp - Can now do 'cp -a' can can copy devices,
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000596 pipes, symlinks, as well as recursive or non-recursive
597 dir copies.
598 * fdflush - adjusted to remove dependancy on struct
599 * FileInfo. find - Now includes some basic regexp matching
Eric Andersenaa0765e1999-10-22 04:30:20 +0000600 which will be the basic of a future mini-sed.
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000601 * ln - Same functionality. mkdir - Added -p flag to
602 * feature set. mv - rewrite. rm - Added -f flag to
603 * feature set. rmdir - Same functionality. swapon,
604 * swapoff - Combined into a single binary. No longer
605 uses /etc/swaps. swap{on|off} -a uses /etc/fstab
606 instead.
607 * touch - Same functionality. date - adjusted with a patch
608 * from Matthew Grant <grantma@anathoth.gen.nz>
609 to accomodate glibc timezone support. I then ripped out GNU
610 getopt.
Erik Andersen6acaa402000-03-26 14:03:20 +0000611 * mkswap -- new version merged from util-linux. Can now make
612 >128Meg swaps.
613 * Replaced the old and star, unstar, and tarcat with the tar
614 implementation from sash. Now tar behaves as god intended it
615 to (i.e. tar -xvf <file> and tar -cf <file> <dir> work).
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000616 * dd -- rewritten. Can with with files, stdin, stdout. Added the
617 * following new apps: loadfont -- added from debian boot floppies
618 * chroot -- added based on a patch from Paolo Molaro
619 * <lupus@lettere.unipd.it> grep -- I just wrote it. Only matches
620 * simple strings ps -- I just wrote it. Has _no_ options at all,
621 * but works. fsck_minix, mkfs_minix -- added from util-linux, but
622 * I ripped out
Eric Andersenaa0765e1999-10-22 04:30:20 +0000623 internationalization and such to make them smaller.
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000624 * sfdisk -- Added from util-linux (minus
625 * internationalization and such). Probably some other
626 * changes that I forgot to document...

638 Mount now supports -a, and -t auto.
639 Mount now updates mtab correctly for 'ro'.
640 More checks screen rows size, outputs bytes percentage.
641 Printf added as module.
6420.26
643 Touch now creates files. -c option for no create.
