- lash (the busybox shell) is still with us, fixed up a bit so it - now behaves itself quite nicely. It really is quite usable as - long as you don't expect it to provide Bourne shell grammer. - Standard things like pipes, redirects, command line editing, and - environment variable expansion work great. But we have found that - this shell, while very usable, does not provide an extensible - framework for adding in full Bourne shell behavior. So the first order of - business as we begin working on the next BusyBox release will be to merge in the new shell - currently in progress at - Larry Doolittle's website. -

- Special thanks go out to Matt Kraai and Larry Doolittle for all their - work on this release, and for keeping on top of things while I've been - out of town. -
- Special Note
-
- BusyBox 0.49 was supposed to have replaced lash, the BusyBox
- shell, with a new shell that understands full Bourne shell/Posix shell grammer.
- Well, that simply didn't happen in time for this release. A new
- shell that will eventually replace lash is already under
- construction. This new shell is being developed by Larry
- Doolittle, and could use all of our help. Please see the work in
- progress on Larry's website
- and help out if you can. This shell will be included in the next
- release of BusyBox.
