+ * Marc Karasek and Kanoj (kernel serial.c maintainer) -- fixed init
+ problem on serial consoles with 2.4.3+ kernels.
+
+ New Applets:
+ * Laurence Anderson -- rpm2cpio applet, this obsoletes rpmunpack
+ which has now been removed from BusyBox
+ * Laurence Anderson and Glenn McGrath -- cpio applet, currently
+ only supports unpacking the ascii cpio format.
+ * Vladimir Oleynik and Erik Andersen -- added ash, the most correct
+ busybox shell.
+ * Larry Doolittle -- hush, small shell designed specifically
+ for busybox. Quite usable but still a work in progress.
+ * Erik Andersen -- msh, minix shell. A very small but capable shell
+ that only uses vfork, so it can be used on uClinux systems.
+
+ Other Changes:
+ * Sterling Huxley -- Several bugfixes for the vi applet.
+ * Glenn McGrath -- Restructure unarchiving code to make more code
+ common to the ar, cpio, dpkg, dpkg-deb applets.

+ * Paul J.Y. Lahaie <pjlahaie@linuxcare.com> -- Fixed an endian-ness
+ bug in md5sum (in 0.51, md5sum on big endian machines was broken)
+ * Mark Whitley -- rewrote cut, major updates to grep and sed.
+ * Erik Andersen -- bunches of insmod fixes. It should now always
+ work (no more segfault or missing symbols problems).
+ * Bernhard Kuhn <kuhn@lpr.e-technik.tu-muenchen.de> and Jinux Kim
+ added uClinux/m68k insmod support.
+ * Manuel Novoa III -- rewrote make_human_readable so ls, du, and df
+ should work as expected. Eliminated use of floats.
+ * Aaron Lehmann <aaronl@vitelus.com> -- Scrubbed gzip.c
+ * Alan Modra <amodra@bigpond.net.au> -- fixed an hard to spot
+ bug breaking gunzip checksum checking.

Critical Bugfixes:
* Erik Andersen -- Fixed a bug that could crash the shell in 0.50
* Erik Andersen -- Cleanups for libc5, glibc, and uClibc.
* Erik Andersen and Matt Kraai -- Cleanups for the human-readable
output from ls, du, and df.
+ * Laurence Anderson <laurence@zxmail.com> -- Fixed wget HTTP 1.1
+ support and added chunked encoding so it is now RFC compliant.
* John Beppu -- The busybox.pod documentation is now automagically
generated from the source code. This makes it _much_ simpler.
Now to update the docs, just update the usage message...
