<li><b>14 December, 2006 -- BusyBox 1.3.0 (stable)</b>
<p><a href=http://busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.3.0.tar.bz2>BusyBox 1.3.0</a>.</p>
<p>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.
<p>Changes since previous release:
<ul>
<li>find: taking many more of standard options
<li>ps: POSIX-compliant -o implemented
<li>cp: added -s, -l
<li>grep: added -r, fixed -h
<li>watch: make it exec child like standard one does (was totally
incompatible)
<li>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).
<li>httpd: added -i (inetd), -f (foreground), support for
directory indexer CGI (example is included), bugfixes.
<li>telnetd: fixed/improved IPv6 support, inetd+standalone support,
other fixes. Useful IPv6 stuff factored out into libbb.
<li>runit/*: new applets adapted from http://smarden.sunsite.dk/runit/
(these are my personal favorite small-and-beautiful toys)
<li>minor bugfixes to: login, dd, mount, umount, chmod, chown, ln, udhcp,
fdisk, ifconfig, sort, tee, mkswap, wget, insmod.
</ul>
<p>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.
