Eric Andersen | a07f0b0 | 1999-10-22 19:49:09 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2 | * usage() now printf the BusyBox version. This will help folks |
| 3 | realize that they are not in Kansas anymore. |
Eric Andersen | fa0540f | 1999-10-22 18:18:31 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4 | * Fixed mkdir -m option so that it works. |
Eric Andersen | a709317 | 1999-10-23 05:42:08 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 5 | * kill segfaulted w/o any arguments. Now it doesn't do that. |
| 6 | * kill wasn't properly accepting signal names. It does now. |
Eric Andersen | d0246fb | 1999-11-04 21:18:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 7 | * Added new apps chvt and deallocvt (I should probably add open) |
| 8 | * Major rewrite of init.c. Code is now readable by mere mortals IMHO. |
Eric Andersen | ff719d6 | 1999-10-29 23:36:31 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 9 | * Wrote sed -- weighs only 1.8k (5.8k with full regular expressions!). |
Eric Andersen | be971d6 | 1999-11-03 16:52:50 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 10 | * Fixed a stupid seg-fault in sync |
Eric Andersen | d0246fb | 1999-11-04 21:18:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 11 | * Fixed mount -- mount -a failed to parse and apply mount options |
Eric Andersen | cf8c9cf | 1999-11-05 00:31:46 +0000 | [diff] [blame^] | 12 | * Fixed umount -n (patch thanks to Matthew Grant <grantma@anathoth.gen.nz>) |
| 13 | * umount -a no longer umounts /proc |
Eric Andersen | d0246fb | 1999-11-04 21:18:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 14 | * Added BB_MTAB, allowing (at the cost of ~1.5k and the need for a rw /etc) |
| 15 | folks to use a real /etc/mtab file instead of a symlink to /proc/mounts. |
| 16 | mount, and umount will add/remove entries and df will now use /etc/mtab |
| 17 | if BB_MTAB is defined. |
Eric Andersen | cf8c9cf | 1999-11-05 00:31:46 +0000 | [diff] [blame^] | 18 | * Fixed a nice bug in recursiveAction() which caused it to infinitely |
| 19 | hunt through /proc/../fd/* creating new file descriptors if it |
| 20 | followed the /dev/fd link over to /proc. recursiveAction() now |
| 21 | lstat's the file when followLinks==FALSE so it won't follow links |
| 22 | as the name suggests. Fix thanks to Matt Porter <porter@debian.org>. |

| 28 | * I added a changelog for version 0.30. |
| 29 | * adjusted find internals to make it smaller, and removed |
| 30 | some redundancy. |
| 31 | * Fixed a segfault in ps when /etc/passwd or /etc/group |
| 32 | are absent. Now will warn you and carry on. |
| 33 | * Added in optional _real_ regular expression support (to be |
Eric Andersen | 8eefd02 | 1999-10-22 05:18:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 34 | the basis for a future sed utility). When compiled in |
| 35 | it adds 3.9k, but makes grep much more capable. |
Eric Andersen | 51f8c89 | 1999-10-22 05:14:44 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 36 | * Checked out using nftw(3) for recursive stuff, but unfortunatly |
| 37 | it wasn't supported before GNU libc 2.1, and some folks use |
| 38 | glibc 2.0.7 since it is much smaller than that latest and greatest. |

| 43 | Major changes -- lots of stuff rewritten. Many thanks to Lineo for |
| 44 | paying me to make these updates. If you have any problems with busybox, |
Eric Andersen | aa0765e | 1999-10-22 04:30:20 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 45 | or notice any bugs -- please let me know so I can fix it. These |
| 46 | changes include: |
| 47 | |
| 48 | Core Changes: |
| 49 | * busybox can now invoke apps in two ways: via symlinks to the |
| 50 | busybox binary, and as 'busybox [function] [arguments]...' |
| 51 | * When invoked as busybox, the list of currently compiled in |
| 52 | functions is printed out (no this is not bloat -- the list |
| 53 | has to be there anyway to map invocation name to function). |
| 54 | * busybox no longer parses command lines for apps or displays their |
| 55 | usage info. Each app gets to handle (or not handle) this for |
| 56 | itself. |
| 57 | * Eliminated monadic, dyadic, descend, block_device, and |
| 58 | postprocess. It was cumbersome to have so many programs |
| 59 | cobbled together in this way. Without them, the app is much |
| 60 | more granular. |
| 61 | * All shared code now lives in utility.c, and is properly |
| 62 | ifdef'ed to be only included for those apps requiring it. |
| 63 | * Eliminated struct FileInfo (the basis of monadic, dyadic, etc) |
| 64 | so now each app has the function prototype of (da-dum): |
| 65 | extern int foo_main(int argc, char** argv); |
| 66 | which speeds integration of new apps. |
| 67 | * Adjusted the Makefile to make it easier to |
| 68 | {en|dis}able debugging. |
| 69 | * Changed default compiler optimization to -Os |
| 70 | (optimize for smaller binaries). |
| 71 | |
| 72 | App Changes: |
| 73 | * To cope with the new app function prototype and the removal of |
| 74 | monadic, dyadic, etc, the following apps were re-written: |
| 75 | * cat - Works same as always. |
| 76 | * chgrp, chmod, chown - rewrite. Combined into a single |
| 77 | source file. Absorbed patches from Enrique Zanardi <ezanard@debian.org> |
| 78 | that removes the dependency on libc6 libnss* libraries. |
| 79 | * cp - Can now do 'cp -a' can can copy devices, |
| 80 | pipes, symlinks, as well as recursive or non-recursive dir copies. |
| 81 | * fdflush - adjusted to remove dependancy on struct FileInfo. |
| 82 | * find - Now includes some basic regexp matching |
| 83 | which will be the basic of a future mini-sed. |
| 84 | * ln - Same functionality. |
| 85 | * mkdir - Added -p flag to feature set. |
| 86 | * mv - rewrite. |
| 87 | * rm - Added -f flag to feature set. |
| 88 | * rmdir - Same functionality. |
| 89 | * swapon, swapoff - Combined into a single binary. No longer |
| 90 | uses /etc/swaps. swap{on|off} -a uses /etc/fstab instead. |
| 91 | * touch - Same functionality. |
| 92 | * date - adjusted with a patch from Matthew Grant <grantma@anathoth.gen.nz> |
| 93 | to accomodate glibc timezone support. I then ripped out GNU getopt. |
| 94 | * mkswap -- new version merged from util-linux. Can now make >128Meg swaps. |
| 95 | * Replaced the old and star, unstar, and tarcat with the tar |
| 96 | implementation from sash. Now tar behaves as god intended |
| 97 | it to (i.e. tar -xvf <file> and tar -cf <file> <dir> work). |
| 98 | * dd -- rewritten. Can with with files, stdin, stdout. |
| 99 | * Added the following new apps: |
| 100 | * loadfont -- added from debian boot floppies |
| 101 | * chroot -- added based on a patch from Paolo Molaro <lupus@lettere.unipd.it> |
| 102 | * grep -- I just wrote it. Only matches simple strings |
| 103 | * ps -- I just wrote it. Has _no_ options at all, but works. |
| 104 | * fsck_minix, mkfs_minix -- added from util-linux, but I ripped out |
| 105 | internationalization and such to make them smaller. |
| 106 | * sfdisk -- Added from util-linux (minus internationalization and such). |
| 107 | * Probably some other changes that I forgot to document... |

| 115 | Mount now supports -a, and -t auto. |
| 116 | Mount now updates mtab correctly for 'ro'. |
| 117 | More checks screen rows size, outputs bytes percentage. |

| 120 | Touch now creates files. -c option for no create. |
