+ Critical Bugfixes:
+ * Erik Andersen -- Fixed a bug that could crash the shell in 0.50
+ when pressing <Enter> on an empty line.
+ * Gennady Feldman -- Fixed a bug that could crash the shell in 0.50
+ when performing an 'export' in the shell.
+ * Gennady Feldman -- fixed a syslogd bug where syslogd could cause
+ the init process to block (which can break systems badly).
+
+ New Applets:
+ * Sterling Huxley -- contributed a new vi applet! This is a very
+ functional vi implementation in Only 22k.
+ * Erik Andersen -- added env applet
+
+ Other changes:
+ * Erik Andersen -- Split utility.c into libbb, which provides a
+ much cleaner was for us to include shared functionality.
+ * Erik Andersen -- Reorganized how and when busybox includes
+ syscalls, aiding portability and (in this case) making the
+ busybox work on ia64 systems.
+ * Erik Andersen -- dpkg.c cleanup to use the updated gunzip interface.
+ * 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...
+ * Dirk Behme <dirk.behme@de.bosch.com> -- Adjusted MIPS insmod
+ support a bit for Mips RS3.
+ * Christophe Boyanique -- egrep invoked the "init" applet in 0.50!
+ * Larry Doolittle -- Added -Wshadow and fixed a number of shadowed
+ variables
+ * David Douthitt -- fixed 'find -print'
+ * Gennady Feldman -- fixes for the syslogd circular buffer code
+ * Jeff Garzik -- a number of structural cleanups, fixes for -Wshadow
+ bugs, and similar problems.
+ * Matt Kraai -- Added a new 'shutdown' action to busybox init. Now
+ you can specify arbitrary behavior for 'ctrlaltdel' so now
+ pressing CTL-ALT-DEL can do something else (or nothing).
+ * Andreas Neuhaus <andy@fasta.fh-dortmund.de> -- fix for merging
+ kernel command line environment variables into child environment
+ for init.c
+ * Glenn McGrath -- Fixed problems with dpkg and dpkg-deb applets
+ * Glenn McGrath -- Don't try to automount devfs
+ * Vladimir Oleynik -- optimizations for more.c
+ * Vladimir Oleynik -- Added locale support to the shell, and fixed
+ locale support in several other places
+ * Vladimir Oleynik -- moved struct applet from busybox.c to applets.c
+ * Vladimir Oleynik -- A size optimization for rdate
+ * Vladimir Oleynik -- Fixed printf applets's locale handling
+ * Vladimir Oleynik -- More cmdedit updates
+ * Vladimir Oleynik -- Fixed `du' applet so it continues running
+ after permission errors.
+ * Vladimir Oleynik -- Reduced stack usage in recursive_action()
+ * Pierre Peiffer <pierre.peiffer@sxb.bsf.alcatel.fr> -- made
+ find_pid_by_name() cope with swapped out processes.
+ * Jari Ruusu <jari.ruusu@pp.inet.fi> -- updates so that setting
+ D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 now works as expected.
+ * Anthony Towns <aj@azure.humbug.org.au> -- fixed a bug with
+ sed address range handling
+ * Dmitry Zakharov <dmit@crp.bank.gov.ua> -- a number of updates
+ to wget: support for ftp downloads, basic HTTP basic auth, handling
+ of http redirects, when attempting to continue an aborted download
+ but server doesn't support restarts then reopen output file in
+ write mode, bugfix: when content-length not given, wget didn't
+ download anything, if -c is not specified, it no longer default to
+ restarting an aborted download.
