+ * Added BB_FEATURE_TRIVIAL_HELP which compiles out most all of the
+ help messages (i.e --help). Saves 17k over a full compile.
+ * Added mktemp, contributed by Daniel Jacobowitz <dan@debian.org>
+ * Added setkeycodes, for those that have wierd keyboard buttons.
+ * Added cut and tr from minix, since due to the license change,
+ we can now use minix code. Minix tr saves 4k.
+ * Added a mini ar archive utility, especially written for BusyBox by
+ Glenn McGrath <bug1@netconnect.com.au>
+ * Added 'grep -v' option (inverted search) and updated
+ docs accordingly. -beppu
+ * Wrote which
+ * BusyBox sh (lash) now supports being used as a standalone shell. When
+ BB_FEATURE_STANDALONE_SHELL is defined, all the busybox commands may
+ be invoked as shell internals. Best used when compiling staticly
+ (i.e. DOSTATIC=true)
+ * BusyBox sh (lash) internals now behave as expected wrt pipes
+ and redirects.
+ * Fixed ping warnings -- fix from Sascha Ziemann <szi@aibon.ping.de>
+ * Fixed update segfault
+ * Fixed mknod -- minor number was always 0
+ * Fixed tar option parsing, so both "tar xvf foo.tar" and
+ "tar -xvf foo.tar" now work (i.e. no "-" before options)
+ (this was very broken in 0.43).
+ * Several contributions from Randolph Chung <tausq@debian.org>.
+ * cp/mv now accepts the -f flag
+ * tail can now accept -<num> commands (e.g. -10) for better
+ compatibility with the standard tail command
+ * added a simple id implementation; doesn't support sup. groups yet
+ * logname used getlogin(3) which uses utmp. Now it doesn't.
+ * whoami used getpwuid(3) which uses libc NSS. Now it behaves.
+ * Add support for "noatime" and "nodiratime" mount flags to mount.
+ * Changed 'umount -f' to mean force, and actually use umount2.
+ * Changed 'umount -l' to mean "Do not free loop device".
+ * Fixed basename to support stripping of suffixes. Patch thanks
+ to xiong jianxin <jxiong@uiuc.edu>
+ * cp -fa now works as expected for symlinks (it didn't before)
+ * zcat now works (wasn't working since option parsing was broken)
+ * Renamed "mnc" to the more correct "nc" (for netcat).
+ * Makefile intelligence updates
+ * Changed the way init parses /etc/inittab entries to avoid problems
+ with commands that contain colons in them. Fix thanks to
+ Pavel Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>
+ * Fixed a warning in utility.c due to char being unsigned on Linux/PPC,
+ Fix thanks to Pavel Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>
+ * Made "killall" complain (not error and exit) about processes that it
+ cannot find by name. Fix thanks to Pavel Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>
+ * Fixed more and ps to have sensible terminal width defaults, thanks
+ to Pavel Roskin.
+ * Fixed all fatalError() calls lacking a "\n", thanks to Pavel Roskin.
+ * Fixed a segfault in yes when no args were given -- Pavel Roskin.
+ * Simplified freeramdisk and added argument checking -- Pavel Roskin.
+ * Fixed segfault caused by "touch -c"
+ * Fixed segfault caused by "rm -f"
+ * Fixed segfault caused by "ln -s -s" and similar abuses.
+ * Fixed segfault caused by "cp -a -a" and similar abuses.
+ * Implemented "rm -- <foo>"
+ * "which" rewritten to use stat(). Fixes to improve its compatability
+ with traditional implementations -- Pavel Roskin.
+ * "mount" now reports errors from nfsmount() and assumes NFS mount
+ if ':' is present in the device name - Pavel Roskin
+ * Fixed exit status for killall - Pavel Roskin
+ * Fixed 'swapon -a' and 'swapoff -a', which were broken.
+ * Fixed 'mount -a' so it works as expected.
+ * Implemented 'ls -R' (enabled by enabling BB_FEATURE_LS_RECURSIVE)
+ * Implemented "ping -s", fixed error messages and argument parsing -
+ Pavel Roskin
+ * Syslogd will not go to background if "-n" is given. Better help
+ and argument checking -- Pavel Roskin
+ * More doc updates
