+       * Made tar creation support in busybox tar optional.
+       * You no longer _have_ to put a "-" in front of tar options.
+       * Tar could inadvertently change permissions and ownership on
+           certain directories pointed to by symlinks.
+       * Made grep and grep -h do the right thing wrt printing
+           the file name (it failed to print files names in many cases).
+       * Fix a namespace aliasing problem wereby if du was built in, the 
+           symlink for both du and dutmp would be installed, or then rm was 
+           built in, the symlinks for both rm and rmmod would be installed.
+       * Added a closelog() to init.c after loging -- fix thanks to 
+           Taketoshi Sano <kgh12351@nifty.ne.jp>
+       * Rewrote and simplified logger.  Added the "-t" option, and made it
+           behave itself a bit better.
+       * Optional support contributed by Ben Collins <bcollins@debian.org> 
+           for the kernel init chroot patch by Werner Almesberger, which 
+           allows init to chroot to a new device, and umount the old one.
+       * Fixed bug that wouldn't let one chown a symlink -- it would
+         always dereference before.  -beppu

+       * New Apps: wc, hostid, logname, tty, whoami, yes -- all contributed 
+           by Edward Betts <edward@debian.org>
+       * Fixed a bug in both cp and mv preventing 'cp foo/README bar'
+           type commands (file in a directory to another directory) 
+           from working.
+       * Fixed a logger bug that caused garbage to be written to the syslog 
+           (unless you used busybox syslog, which hid the bug).  Thanks
+           to Alex Holden <alex@linuxhacker.org> for the fix.
+       * /bin/true and /bin/false were echoing a blank line when run.  Now fixed.
+       * mkdir -p would print an error when asked to mkdir an existing dir
+           with no interveining subdirectories.
+       * Fixed "syslogd -O" so that it works.
+       * Added -o loop option for mount, and support in umount for loop
+         devices. Support is toggled by MOUNT_LOOP feature -- Ben Collins
+         <bcollins@debian.org>
+       * Several fixes from Marco Pantaleoni <panta@prosa.it>
+           * compile in fullWrite() not only if BB_TAR is defined, but also
+               if BB_CP or BB_MV are (fullWrite() is referenced by copyFile())
+           * add some compiler optimizations to further reduce executable size
+               (as a side note, on my machines the largest code is generated by
+               gcc 2.95.2 with -Os ! The smallest by plain gcc 2.7.2.3 with -O2
+               -m386 ...)
+           * Compile no longer fails if busybox.def.h defines BB_FEATURE_LINUXRC 
+               but not BB_INIT.  (init_main used to be referenced, but not compiled)
+       * Fixed a bug in setting TERM for serial console support.  TERM now
+           defaults to "ansi" for serial consoles.
+       * Fixed a bug in handling the CONSOLE env. variable for serial consoles.
