+ * 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.
+ * Fixed tar so uid/gud/permissions on extracted tarballs will be correct.
+
+0.37
+ * 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
+ compile in a source file named after that featue (unless that file exists).
+ * Several options are now moved into busybox.defs.h
+ * Now 'rm -R' and 'rm -r' both work.
+ * dd now properly handles input beyond 1 block from stdin.
+ * Fixed a bug where tar unpacked everything a directories. Moved some code
+ 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.

+ * fixed dd so it properly defaults to stdin and stdout when no
+ if= and of= are set (fix thanks to Eric Delaunay).
+ * Don't try to close the file descriptor of a pipein tar. (fix also from
+ Eric Delaunay).
+ * Made createPath be quiet (again thanks to Eric Delaunay).
+ * If BB_CONSOLE_CMD_IF_RC_SCRIPT_EXITS is defined, then whatever
+ command you define it as will be run if the init script exits.
+ * Updated install.sh to make it more robust (thanks to Adam Di Carlo)
+ * NFS support added to mount by Eric Delaunay. It costs 10k when compiled
+ in, but that is still a big win for those that use NFS.
+ * Made 'rm -f' be silent for non-existant files (thanks to Eric Delaunay).
+ * changed zcat.c to gunzip.c. It now obeys the principle of least surprise
+ and acts as god intended gunzip and zcat to act. They answer --help and
+ obey the '-c' flag.
+ * Fixed a bug in mv which caused it to not move files when the destination
+ was a directory.
+ * Fixed a decimal-instead-of-octal bug causing mkdir to make directories
+ with very wrong permissions.
+ * chmod would overwrite file permissions instead of modifying them.
+ Now it properly modifies permissions.
+ * Init now sends warnings destined for the console to /dev/console to ensure
+ they show up on whatever the active console it. Otherwise important
+ messages (for example that the system is rebooting) were not seen when
+ switched to a different VT.

+ * gzip now obeys the principle of least surprise and acts like god intended
+ (i.e. it accepts a file name, answers --help, and obeys the '-c' flag
+ and only then outputs to stdout).
+ * Fixed more.c to compile autowidth on sparc and set initial winsize
+ to 0,0 in case the TIOCGWINSZ ioctl fails. Fix thanks to Eric Delaunay.
+ * Fixed tar so it now works as expected (it had TRUE/FALSE backwards)
+ * tar now accepts --help
+ * chmod, chown, and chgrp usage now works
+ * General usage (i.e. --help) cleanups for most apps
+ * umount now parses options correctly
+ * tar can now unpack tarballs containing device special files,
+ sockets, and fifos (though it can't pack them up) thanks
+ to Matt Porter. Creating archives containing these is still
+ left to the interested student.
+ * fixed up the license in more.c to properly point to Bruce Perens.

+ * ls -l now displays link names outside the current directory,
+ Patch thanks to Eric Delaunay
+ * init now properly handles sparc serial consoles and does a
+ better job of finding the real console device rather than using
+ /dev/console which doesn't support job control. Patch also
+ thanks to Eric Delaunay.
+ * more started to read from stdin after the last file was finished, and
+ options were not parsed correctly (fix thanks to Eric Delaunay).
+ * more will now use the terminal size if BB_FEATURE_AUTOWIDTH is on.
+ * rm wouldn't remove a symlink unless the symlink was valid. This was
+ a side effect of the busybox 0.32 recursiveAction() fix. Things
+ should now work correctly.
+ * grep wouldn't grep stdin. Now it does.
+ * sed wouldn't sed stdin. Now it does.
+ * sed was appending a \n to the end of lines with replacements.
+ Now it doesn't do that.
+ * ls -l now bypasses libc6 nss when displaying user/group names.
+ Now uses my_getpwuid and my_getgrgid.

+ * Fixed a bug where init could hang instead of rebooting.
+ * Removed some debugging noise from init.c
+ * Fixed ln so it works now (it was very broken).
+ * Fixed df so it won't segfault when there is no /etc/fstab,
+ * If BB_MTAB is not defined, df and mount will whine if /etc/fstab
+ is not installed (since they cannot fixup "/dev/root" to
+ state the real root device name)
+ * merged some redundant code from mtab.c/df.c into utility.c

- * usage() now printf the BusyBox version. This will help folks
+ * More changes -- many thanks to Lineo for paying me to work on
+ busybox. If you have any problems please let me know ASAP
+ at andersen@lineo.com or andersee@debian.org
+ * usage() now prints the BusyBox version. This will help folks
realize that they are not in Kansas anymore.
* Fixed mkdir -m option so that it works.
* kill segfaulted w/o any arguments. Now it doesn't do that.
* kill wasn't properly accepting signal names. It does now.
+ * Added new apps chvt and deallocvt (I should probably add open)
+ * Major rewrite of init.c. Code is now readable by mere mortals IMHO.
+ * Wrote sed -- weighs only 1.8k (5.8k with full regular expressions!).
+ * Fixed a stupid seg-fault in sync
+ * Fixed mount -- mount -a failed to parse and apply mount options
+ * Fixed umount -n (patch thanks to Matthew Grant <grantma@anathoth.gen.nz>)
+ * umount -a no longer umounts /proc
+ * Added BB_MTAB, allowing (at the cost of ~1.5k and the need for a rw /etc)
+ folks to use a real /etc/mtab file instead of a symlink to /proc/mounts.
+ mount, and umount will add/remove entries and df will now use /etc/mtab
+ if BB_MTAB is defined.
+ * Fixed a nice bug in recursiveAction() which caused it to infinitely
+ hunt through /proc/../fd/* creating new file descriptors if it
+ followed the /dev/fd link over to /proc. recursiveAction() now
+ lstat's the file when followLinks==FALSE so it won't follow links
+ as the name suggests. Fix thanks to Matt Porter <porter@debian.org>.

* I added a changelog for version 0.30.
it wasn't supported before GNU libc 2.1, and some folks use
glibc 2.0.7 since it is much smaller than that latest and greatest.

Major changes -- lots of stuff rewritten. Many thanks to Lineo for
