- * added the -v option (inverted search) to grep,
- updated docs/busybox.pod accordingly. -beppu
+ * Added BB_FEATURE_TRIVIAL_HELP which compiles out most all of the
+ help messages (i.e --help). Saves 17k over a full compile.
* Added mktemp, contributed by Daniel Jacobowitz <dan@debian.org>
* Added setkeycodes, for those that have wierd keyboard buttons.
* Added cut and tr from minix, since due to the license change,
we can now use minix code. Minix tr saves 4k.
- * Fix for ping warnings from Sascha Ziemann <szi@aibon.ping.de>

+ * Fixed ping warnings -- fix from Sascha Ziemann <szi@aibon.ping.de>
* Fixed update segfault
* Fixed mknod -- minor number was always 0
* Fixed tar option parsing. In an attempt to accomodate the whiners
I broke creation of tarballs. I reverted the change (so tar needs
the "-" for all options).
* Several contributions from Randolph Chung <tausq@debian.org>.

- does force anyway
+ * cp/mv now accepts the -f flag

compatibility with the standard tail command
* added a simple id implementation; doesn't support sup. groups yet

* Fixed basename to support stripping of suffixes. Patch thanks
to xiong jianxin <jxiong@uiuc.edu>
- * More doc updates
* cp -fa now works as expected for symlinks (it didn't before)
* zcat now works (wasn't working since option parsing was broken)
