+       * 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 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.

+       * Wrote a micro syslogd, and a logger util (to log things to the syslog
+           from the command line or scripts)  With both compiled in, costs 4k.
        * Fixed 'make install' so symlinks are installed in their proper locations.
        * Changed the build system slightly so that features can now be enabled
            or disabled from the busybox.defs.h header file, without trying to

            from createPath into mkdir where it belonged, thereby making tar work properly.
        * Fixed an off-by-one bug in cat.  Given a list of file it wouldn't cat out the
            last file in the list.
+       * Fixed 'ls -ln' so numeric group/uid are presented properly, and fixed 'ls -l' 
+           so when uid/gid is not in /etc/{passwd,group} the numeric group/uid are 
+           presented properly.  
+       * Also added a TODO.
