getopt: add support for "a+" specifier for nonnegative int parameters. By Vladimir Dronnikov <dronnikov at gmail.com>
-
getty: don't try to detect parity on local lines (Joakim Tjernlund <Joakim.Tjernlund at transmode.se>)
-
halt: write wtmp entry if wtmp support is enabled
-
httpd: "HEAD" support. Closes bug 1530
-
httpd: fix bug 2004: wrong argv when interpreter is invoked
-
httpd: fix bug where we did chdir("") if CGI path had only one "/"
-
httpd: fix for POST upload
-
httpd: support for "I:index.xml" syntax (Peter Korsgaard <jacmet AT uclibc.org>)
-
hush: fix a case where none of pipe members could be started because of fork failure
-
hush: more correct handling of piping
-
hush: reinstate `cmd` handling for NOMMU
-
hush: report [v]fork failures
-
hush: set CLOEXEC on script file being executed

hush: try to add a bit more of vfork-friendliness

inetd: make "udp nowait" work
-
inetd: make inetd IPv6-capable

init: allow last line of config file to be not terminated by "\n"
-
init: do not die if "/dev/null" is missing
-
init: fix bug 1111: restart actions were not splitting words
-
init: wait for orphaned children too while waiting for sysinit-like processes (harald-tuxbox AT arcor.de)

ip route: "ip route" was misbehaving (extra argv+1 ate 1st env var)
-
last: do not go into endless loop on read error
-
less,klogd,syslogd,nc,tcpudp: exit on signal by killing itself, not exit(1)

less: fix bug where backspace wasn't actually deleting chars
-
less: make it a bit more resistant against status line corruption

less: improve search when data is not supplied fast enough by stdin - now will try reading for 1-2 seconds before declaring that there is no match. This fixes a very common annoyance with long manpages
-
less: update line input so that it doesn't interfere with screen update. Makes "man bash", [enter], [/], <enter search pattern>, [enter] more usable - manpage now draws even as you enter the pattern!
