-	<li>fix CGI handling bug (we were closing wrong fd)
-	<li>CGI I/O loop still doesn't look 100% ok to me...
-      </ul>

-    <p>udhcp[cd]:
-      <ul>
-	<li>add -f "foreground" and -S "syslog" options

-	<li>fix non-CONFIG_DESKTOP ps -ww (by rockeychu)

-	<li>make percentile (0.1%) calculations configurable
-	<li>add config option and code for global CPU% display

-    but there is a possibility that it regressed in some obscure cases. Please
-    report any such cases.</p>
-    <p>lash users please note: lash is going to be deprecated in busybox 1.7.0
-    and removed in the more distant future. Please migrate to hush.</p>

-
-    <p>Since this is a x.x.0 release, it probably is a bit less "stable"
-    than usual.</p>
-    <p>Changes since previous release:
-    <ul>
-    <li>e2fsprogs are mostly removed from busybox. Some smaller parts remain,
-    the rest of it sits disabled in e2fsprogs/old_e2fsprogs/*, because
-    it's too bloated. Really. I'm afraid it's about the only way we can
-    ever get e2fsprogs cleaned up.
-    <li>less: many improvements. Now can display binary files
-    (although I expect it to have trouble with displays where 8bit chars
-    don't have 1-to-1 char/glyph relationship). Regexp search is not buggy
-    anymore. Less does not read entire input up-front. Reads input
-    as it appears (yay!). Works rather nice as man pager. I recommend it
-    for general use now.
-    <li>IPv6: generic support is in place, many networking applets are
-    upgraded to be IPv6 capable. Probably some work remains, but it is
-    already much better than what we had previously.
-    <li>arp: new applet (thanks to Eric Spakman).
-    <li>fakeidentd: non-forking standalone server part was taking ~90%
-    of the applet. Factored it out (in fact, rewrote it).
-    <li>syslogd: mostly rewritten.
-    <li>decompress_unzip, gzip: sanitized a bit.
-    <li>sed: better hadling of NULs
-    <li>httpd: stop adding our own "Content-type:" to CGI output
-    <li>chown: user.grp works again.
-    <li>minor bugfixes to: passwd, date, tftp, start_stop_daemon, tar,
-    ps, ifupdown, time, su, stty, awk, ping[6], sort,...
-    </ul>
-    </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.

-    <p><a href=http://busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.2.2.1.tar.bz2>BusyBox 1.2.2.1</a>.</p>
-
-    <p>Added compile-time warning that static linking against glibc

-
-  <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>
-    <p>The email address gpl@busybox.net is now the recommended way to contact
-    the Software Freedom Law Center to report BusyBox license violations.</p>
-
-  <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>
-
-  <li><b>30 June 2006 -- BusyBox 1.2.0</b>
-    <p>The -devel branch has been stabilized and the result is
-    <a href="http://busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.2.0.tar.bz2">Busybox
-    1.2.0</a>.  Lots of stuff changed, I need to work up a decent changelog
-    over the weekend.</p>
-
-    <p>I'm still experimenting with how long is best for the development
-    cycle, and since we've got some largeish projects queued up I'm going to
-    try a longer one.  Expect 1.3.0 in December.  (Expect 1.2.1 any time
-    we fix enough bugs. :)</p>
-
-    <p>Update: Here are <a href="http://busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.2.0.fixes.patch">the first few bug fixes</a> that will go into 1.2.1.</p>
-
-  <li><b>17 May 2006 -- BusyBox 1.1.3 (stable)</b>
-    <p><a href="http://busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.1.3.tar.bz2">BusyBox
-    1.1.3</a> is another bugfix release.  It makes passwd use salt, fixes a
-    memory freeing bug in ls, fixes "build all sources at once" mode, makes
-    mount -a not abort on the first failure, fixes msh so ctrl-c doesn't kill
-    background processes, makes patch work with patch hunks that don't have a
-    timestamp, make less's text search a lot more robust (the old one could
-    segfault), and fixes readlink -f when built against uClibc.</p>
-
-    <p>Expect 1.2.0 sometime next month, which won't be a bugfix release.</p>
-
-  <li><b>10 April 2006 -- BusyBox 1.1.2 (stable)</b>
-    <p>You can now download <a href="http://busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.1.2.tar.bz2">BusyBox 1.1.2</a>, a bug fix release consisting of 11 patches
-    backported from the development branch: Some build fixes, several fixes
-    for mount and nfsmount, a fix for insmod on big endian systems, a fix for
-    find -xdev, and a fix for comm.  Check the file "changelog" in the tarball
-    for more info.</p>
-
-    <p>The next new development release (1.2.0) is slated for June.  A 1.1.3
-    will be released before then if more bug fixes crop up.  (The new plan is
-    to have a 1.x.0 new development release every 3 months, with 1.x.y stable
-    bugfix only releases based on that as appropriate.)</p>
-
-  <li><b>27 March 2006 -- Software Freedom Law Center representing BusyBox and uClibc</b>
-    <p>One issue Erik Andersen wanted to resolve when handing off BusyBox
-    maintainership to Rob Landley was license enforcement.  BusyBox and
-    uClibc's existing license enforcement efforts (pro-bono representation
-    by Erik's father's law firm, and the
-    <a href="http://www.busybox.net/shame.html">Hall of Shame</a>), haven't
-    scaled to match the popularity of the projects.  So we put our heads
-    together and did the obvious thing: ask Pamela Jones of
-    <a href="http://www.groklaw.net">Groklaw</a> for suggestions.  She
-    referred us to the fine folks at softwarefreedom.org.</p>
-
-    <p>As a result, we're pleased to announce that the
-    <a href="http://www.softwarefreedom.org">Software Freedom Law Center</a>
-    has agreed to represent BusyBox and uClibc.  We join a number of other
-    free and open source software projects (such as
-    <a href="http://lwn.net/Articles/141806/">X.org</a>,
-    <a href="http://lwn.net/Articles/135413/">Wine</a>, and
-    <a href="http://plone.org/foundation/newsitems/software-freedom-law-center-support/">Plone</a>
-    in being represented by a fairly cool bunch of lawyers, which is not a
-    phrase you get to use every day.</p>
-
-  <li><b>22 March 2006 -- BusyBox 1.1.1</b>
-    <p>The new maintainer is Rob Landley, and the new release is <a href="http://busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.1.1.tar.bz2">BusyBox 1.1.1</a>.  Expect a "what's new" document in a few days.  (Also, Erik and I have have another announcement pending...)</p>
-    <p>Update: Rather than put out an endless stream of 1.1.1.x releases,
-    the various small fixes have been collected together into a
-    <a href="http://busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.1.1.fixes.patch">patch</a>,
-    and new fixes will be appended to that as needed.  Expect 1.1.2 around
-    June.</p>
-  </li>
-  <li><b>11 January 2006 -- 1.1.0 is out</b>
-    <p>The new stable release is
-    <a href="http://www.busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.1.0.tar.bz2">BusyBox
-    1.1.0</a>.  It has a number of improvements, including several new applets.
-    (It also has <a href="http://www.busybox.net/lists/busybox/2006-January/017733.html">a few rough spots</a>,
-    but we're trying out a "release early, release often" strategy to see how
-    that works.  Expect 1.1.1 sometime in March.)</p>
