+    (<a href=http://busybox.net/downloads/fixes-1.3.0/>patches</a>)</p>
+
+    <p>This release has CONFIG_DESKTOP option which enables features
+    needed for busybox usage on desktop machine. For example, find, chmod
+    and chown get several less frequently used options, od is significantly
+    bigger but matches GNU coreutils, etc. Intended to eventually make
+    busybox a viable alternative for "standard" utilities for slightly
+    adventurous desktop users.
+    <p>Changes since previous release:
+    <ul>
+    <li>find: taking many more of standard options
+    <li>ps: POSIX-compliant -o implemented
+    <li>cp: added -s, -l
+    <li>grep: added -r, fixed -h
+    <li>watch: make it exec child like standard one does (was totally
+        incompatible)
+    <li>tar: fix limitations which were preventing bbox tar usage
+        on big directories: long names and linknames, pax headers
+        (Linux kernel tarballs have that). Fixed a number of obscure bugs.
+        Raised max file limit (now 64Gb). Security fixes (/../ attacks).
+    <li>httpd: added -i (inetd), -f (foreground), support for
+        directory indexer CGI (example is included), bugfixes.
+    <li>telnetd: fixed/improved IPv6 support, inetd+standalone support,
+        other fixes. Useful IPv6 stuff factored out into libbb.
+    <li>runit/*: new applets adapted from http://smarden.sunsite.dk/runit/
+        (these are my personal favorite small-and-beautiful toys)
+    <li>minor bugfixes to: login, dd, mount, umount, chmod, chown, ln, udhcp,
+        fdisk, ifconfig, sort, tee, mkswap, wget, insmod.
+    </ul>
+    <p>Note that GnuPG key used to sign this release is different.
+    1.2.2.1 is also signed post-factum now. Sorry for the mess.

+    BusyBox 1.2.2</a>.</p>
+
+    <p>This release has dozens of fixes backported from the ongoing development
+    branch.  There are a couple of bugfixes to sed, two fixes to documentation
+    generation (BusyBox.html shouldn't have USE() macros in it anymore), fix
+    umount to report the right errno on failure and to umount block devices by
+    name with newer kernels, fix mount to handle symlinks properly, make mdev
+    delete device nodes when called for hotplug remove, fix a segfault
+    in traceroute, a minor portability fix to md5sum option parsing, a build
+    fix for httpd with old gccs, an options parsing tweak to hdparm, make test
+    fail gracefully when getgroups() returns -1, fix a race condition in
+    modprobe when two instances run at once (hotplug does this), make "tar xf
+    foo.tar dir/dir" extract all subdirectories, make our getty initialize the
+    terminal more like mingetty, an selinux build fix, an endianness fix in
+    ping6, fix for zcip defending addresses, clean up some global variables in
+    gzip to save memory, fix sulogin -tNNN, a help text tweak, several warning
+    fixes and build fixes, fixup dnsd a bit, and a partridge in a pear tree.</p>
+
+    <p>As <a href=http://lwn.net/Articles/202106/>Linux Weekly News noted</a>,
+    this is my (Rob's) last release of BusyBox.  The new maintainer is Denis
+    Vlasenko, I'm off to do <a href=http://landley.net/code>other things</a>.
