BusyBox 1.3.1. + (patches)
+ +Closing 2006 with new release. It includes only trivial fixes accumulated since 1.3.0 +
+BusyBox 1.3.0. + (patches)
+ +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. +
Changes since previous release: +
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. +
+Added compile-time warning that static linking against glibc + produces buggy executables. +
It's a bit overdue, but + here is + BusyBox 1.2.2.
+ +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.
+ +As Linux Weekly News noted, + this is my (Rob's) last release of BusyBox. The new maintainer is Denis + Vlasenko, I'm off to do other things. +
+The email address gpl@busybox.net is now the recommended way to contact the Software Freedom Law Center to report BusyBox license violations.
