+ spot any bugs, now would be an excellent time to send in a fix to the
+ busybox mailing list. It would also be <b>very</b> helpful if people could
+ help review the BusyBox documentation and submit improvements. It would be
+ especially helpful if people could check that the features supported by the

+
+ There was a bug in -pre6 that broke argument parsing for a
+ number of applets, since a variable was not being zeroed out
+ properly. This release is primarily intended to fix that one
+ problem. In addition, this release fixes several other
+ problems, including a rewrite by mjn3 of the code for parsing
+ the busybox.conf file used for suid handling, some shell updates
+ from vodz, and a scattering of other small fixes. We are still
+ aiming to finish off the -pre series in February and move on to
+ the final 1.0.0 release... If you see any problems, of have
+ suggestions to make, as always, please feel free to email the
+ busybox mailing list.
