Critical Bugfixes:
- * Matt Kraai -- Fixed wget output file opening (wget failed in 0.52).
- * Matt Kraai -- Fixed a memory leak in syslogd (found by Adam Slattery).
+ * Matt Kraai
+ -- Fixed wget output file opening (wget failed in 0.52).
+ -- Fixed a memory leak in syslogd (found by Adam Slattery).
+ * Vladimir Oleynik, Matt Kraai, Erik Andersen
+ -- several nasty bugs in ash and msh. msh could not assign
+ any variables and had debug code still enabled. ash
+ had several compile errors (depending on selected options)
+ and variable assignment problems as well.
New Applets:
- * Vladimir Oleynik -- traceroute
* David McCullough <davidm@lineo.com> -- modprobe
+ * Vladimir Oleynik -- traceroute
+
+ New Scripts:
+ * David Schleef, Erik Andersen, Stuart Hughes -- depmod.pl
+ This is a replacement for the depmod program from the modutils
+ package, but is fully cross platform and is designed to run on
+ your host system (not on the target).
Other Changes:
- * Vladimir Oleynik
- -- Fixed tr to support 'tr a-z A-Z' syntax,
- -- Many ash corrections, optimizations, and cleanups.
- -- optimizations for traceroute and md5sum
- -- cmdedit updates and API change
- -- Namespace cleanup (i.e. adding 'static' private function calls)
- -- added "stopped jobs" warning to ash on exit
- * Glenn McGrath
- -- dpkg rewrite. Should now be compatable with the real dpkg,
- but needs more testing.
- -- Updates to archiving tools (gunzip/gzip/cpio/ar/etc)
- -- Rewrote uuencode, will allow base64 encoding to be used by wget
- * Erik Andersen -- fixed busybox.spec so it should now work on
- properly on redhat systems
+ * Erik Andersen
+ -- various little things
+ -- fixed busybox.spec so it should now work on redhat systems
+ -- fixed dos2unix and unix2dos so they should work once again
+ -- Adjustments to make busybox more uClinux friendly. Busybox
+ should now work on uClinux systems without needing and source
+ code changes (applets that won't work on uClinux systems are
+ now automagicaly disabled).
+ * Jim Gleason <jimg@lineo.com>
+ -- Fixed for sed, where it failed to preserve whether or not the
+ line was previously altered when running a subst command.
* Matt Kraai
-- Made tar read 20 512byte blocks at a time (like GNU tar)
-- Allow msh.c assignments with the export and readonly commands.
-- Added BB_FEATURE_DEVFS to enable devfs device names.
-- Fixed ping compile problem, size reduction
- * Aaron Lehmann -- slimmed down md5sum
- * David McCullough and Erik Andersen -- make busybox more uClinux
- friendly. Busybox _should_ now work on uClinux systems without
- needing and source code changes (applets that won't work on
- uClinux systems are now automagicaly disabled).
+ -- Better devfs support
+ -- Don't save/restore vi readonly flag if vi is compiled read-only.
+ -- Reworked rdate option handling (is now smaller).
+ * Aaron Lehmann
+ -- slimmed down md5sum
+ -- contributed a nice new (hand written, not lex/yacc) Posix math
+ support for ash, which is once again a full posix shell.
* Felix von Leitner <leitner@convergence.de> -- patches to make busybox
work with dietlibc.
+ * David McCullough
+ -- Adjustments to make busybox more uClinux friendly
+ * Glenn McGrath
+ -- Fixed gzip so when a filename is '-' it will use stdin/stdout
+ -- dpkg rewrite. Should now be compatable with the real dpkg,
+ but needs more testing.
+ -- Updates to archiving tools (gunzip/gzip/cpio/ar/etc)
+ -- Rewrote uuencode, will allow base64 encoding to be used by wget
+ * Vladimir Oleynik
+ -- Fixed tr to support 'tr a-z A-Z' syntax,
+ -- Many ash corrections, optimizations, and cleanups.
+ -- optimizations for traceroute, md5sum, chown, ping
+ -- cmdedit updates and API change
+ -- Namespace cleanup (i.e. adding 'static' private function calls)
+ -- added "stopped jobs" warning to ash on exit
