| + | <p><a href=http://busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.4.0.tar.bz2>BusyBox 1.4.0</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> |
| + | </li> |

| + | <p><a href=http://busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.3.1.tar.bz2>BusyBox 1.3.1</a>.</p> |
| + | |
| + | <p>This release includes only one trivial fix accumulated since 1.3.1 |
