-BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single
-small executable. It provides minimalist replacements for most of the utilities
-you usually find in fileutils, shellutils, findutils, textutils, grep, gzip,
-tar, etc. BusyBox provides a fairly complete POSIX environment for any small
-or embedded system. The utilities in BusyBox generally have fewer options than
-their full-featured GNU cousins; however, the options that are included provide
-the expected functionality and behave very much like their GNU counterparts.
-<p>
-BusyBox has been written with size-optimization and limited resources in mind.
-It is also extremely modular so you can easily include or exclude commands (or
-features) at compile time. This makes it easy to customize your embedded
-systems. To create a working system, just add a kernel, a shell (such as ash),
-and an editor (such as elvis-tiny or ae). For a really minimal system, just
-the the busybox shell (not a POSIX shell, but very small and quite usable).

- <p> <li> <b>13 December 2000 -- BusyBox 0.48 released</b>
- <br>
-
- This release fixes lots and lots of bugs. This has had some very
- rigorous testing, and looks very, very clean. The usual tar
- update of course: tar no longer breaks hardlinks, tar -xzf is
- optionally supported, and the LRP folks will be pleased to know
- that 'tar -X' and 'tar --exclude' are both now in. Applets are
- now looked up using a binary search making lash (the busybox
- shell) much faster. For the new debian-installer (for Debian
- woody) a .udeb can now be generated.
- <p>
- The curious can get a list of some of the more interesting changes by reading
- the <a href="ftp://oss.lineo.com/busybox/Changelog">changelog</a>.
- <p>
- Many thanks go out to the many many people that have contributed to
- this release, especially Matt Kraai, Larry Doolittle, and Kent Robotti.
-
-
- <p> <li> <b>26 September 2000 -- BusyBox 0.47 released</b>
- <br>
-
- This release fixes lots of bugs (including an ugly bug in 0.46
- syslogd that could fork-bomb your system). Added several new
- apps: rdate, wget, getopt, dos2unix, unix2dos, reset, unrpm,
- renice, xargs, and expr. syslogd now supports network logging.
- There are the usual tar updates. Most apps now use getopt for
- more correct option parsing.
- See the <a href="ftp://oss.lineo.com/busybox/Changelog">changelog</a>
- for complete details.
