+ * New Apps: ping and hostname contributed by Randolph Chung
+ <tausq@debian.org>. 2 items off the TODO list!
+ * I wrote free (just calls "cat /proc/meminfo").
+ * Added tail, based on tail from GNU textutils-1.19, but adjusted
+ to suit my evil purposes. Costs 6k.
+ * on reboot, init called 'umount -a -n', which caused errors
+ when BB_MTAB was not enabled. Changed to 'umount -a',
+ which does the right thing.
+ * init will now try to run /sbin/getty if it is present (for easy
+ integration with the about-to-be-released tinylogin.)
+ * kill now behaves itself properly, added 'kill -l' to list signals
+ * 'ls -l' was failing on long directories, since my_getid was leaking
+ one file descriptor per file. Oops.
+ * Fixed rebooting from init. I'd accidently left some debugging code in
+ which blocked reboots.
+ * Fixed reboot, halt (and added poweroff) such that they handle it when
+ init is not at PID 1 (like when running in an initrd).
+ * Added a prelinary du implementation. Some parameter parsing
+ stuff still needs to be added. -beppu (John Beppu <beppu@lineo.com>)
+ * Implemented tee. -beppu
+ * Implemented head. -beppu

* Fixed a segfault in 'umount -a' when a badly formed /etc/fstab
file existed.
- * df will not exit on error, but will try to stat all mounted filesystems.
+ * df will not exit on error, but will stat all mounted filesystems.
* Fixed tar so uid/gid/permissions on extracted tarballs will be correct.
* Fixed find -name so it properly uses shell wildcard patterns
(i.e. `*', `?', and `[]') instead of regular expressions, which
was causing some confusing and unexpected behavior.

+ * Added klogd to syslogd, so now the log will contain both system and
+ kernel messages.
+ * syslogd now creates the /dev/log socket to make sure it is there, and
+ is actually a socket with the right permissions.
+ * I've taken a first step to making busybox not need the /proc
+ filesystem. Most apps don't need it. Those that _require_ it,
+ will complain if you enable them when you disable
+ BB_FEATURE_USE_PROCFS.
