| + | <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>[su]login: sanitize environment if called by non-root |
| + | <li>udhcpc: support "bad" servers which send oversized packets |
| + | (Cristian Ionescu-Idbohrn <cristian.ionescu-idbohrn at axis.com>) |
| + | <li>udhcpc: -O option allows to specify which options to ask tor |
| + | (Stefan Hellermann <stefan at the2masters.de>) |
| + | <li>udhcpc: optionally check whether given IP is really free (by ARP ping) |
| + | (Jonas Danielsson <jonas.danielsson at axis.com>) |
| + | <li>vi: now handles files with unlimited line length |
| + | <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 |
| + | <li>line editing: don't eat stack like crazy |
| + | <li>passwd: follows symlinked /etc/passwd |
| + | <li>renice: accepts priority with +N too |
