<li><b>20 January, 2007 -- BusyBox 1.4.0 (stable)</b>
<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>
