+    <p><a href=http://busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.3.0.tar.bz2>BusyBox 1.3.0</a>.
+    (<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.

+  <li><b>24 October, 2006 -- BusyBox 1.2.2 (stable)</b>
+    <p>It's a bit overdue, but
+    <a href=http://busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.2.2.tar.bz2>here is
+    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>.

+  <li><b>29 September, 2006 -- New license email address.</b>

+
+  <li><b>31 July 2006 -- BusyBox 1.2.1 (stable)</b>
+    <p>Since nobody seems to have objected too loudly over the weekend, I
+    might as well point you all at
+    <a href="http://busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.2.1.tar.bz2">Busybox
+    1.2.1</a>, a bugfix-only release with no new features.</p>
+
+    <p>It has three shell fixes (two to lash: going "var=value" without
+    saying "export" should now work, plus a missing null pointer check, and
+    one to ash when redirecting output to a file that fills up.)  Fix three
+    embarassing thinkos in the new dmesg command.  Two build tweaks
+    (dependencies for the compressed usage messages and running make in the
+    libbb subdirectory).  One fix to tar so it can extract git-generated
+    tarballs (rather than barfing on the pax extensions).  And a partridge
+    in a pear...  Ahem.</p>
+
+    <p>But wait, there's more!  A passwd changing fix so an empty
+    gecos field doesn't trigger a false objection that the new passwd contains
+    the gecos field.  Make all our setuid() and setgid() calls check the return
+    value in case somebody's using per-process resource limits that prevent
+    a user from having too many processes (and thus prevent a process from
+    switching away from root, in which case the process will now _die_ rather
+    than continue with root privileges).  A fix to adduser to make sure that
+    /etc/group gets updated.  And a fix to modprobe to look for modules.conf
+    in the right place on 2.6 kernels.</p>
