14 December, 2006 -- BusyBox 1.3.0 (stable)
+ BusyBox 1.3.0.
+
+ This release has CONFIG_DESKTOP option which enables features
+ needed for busybox usage on desktop machine. For example, find, chmod
+ and chown get several less frequently used options, od is significantly
+ bigger but matches GNU coreutils, etc. Intended to eventually make
+ busybox a viable alternative for "standard" utilities for slightly
+ adventurous desktop users.
+
Changes since previous release:
+
+ - find: taking many more of standard options
+
- ps: POSIX-compliant -o implemented
+
- cp: added -s, -l
+
- grep: added -r, fixed -h
+
- watch: make it exec child like standard one does (was totally
+ incompatible)
+
- tar: fix limitations which were preventing bbox tar usage
+ on a big directories: long names and linknames, pax headers
+ (Linux kernel tarballs have that). Fixed a number of obscure bugs.
+ Raised max file limit (now 64Gb). Security fixes (/../ attacks).
+
- httpd: added -i (inetd), -f (foreground), support for
+ directory indexer CGI (example is included), bugfixes.
+
- telnetd: fixed/improved IPv6 support, inetd+standalone support,
+ other fixes. Useful IPv6 stuff factored out into libbb.
+
- runit/*: new applets adapted from http://smarden.sunsite.dk/runit/
+ (these are my personal favorite small-and-beautiful toys)
+
- minor bugfixes to: login, dd, mount, umount, chmod, chown, ln, udhcp,
+ fdisk, ifconfig, sort, tee, mkswap, wget, insmod.
+
+ Note that GnuPG key used to sign this release is different.
+ 1.2.2.1 is also signed post-factum now. Sorry for the mess.
