| * usage() now printf the BusyBox version. This will help folks |
| realize that they are not in Kansas anymore. |
| * Fixed mkdir -m option so that it works. |
| * kill segfaulted w/o any arguments. Now it doesn't do that. |
| * kill wasn't properly accepting signal names. It does now. |
| * Added new apps chvt and deallocvt |
| * Major adjustment of init.c. Code is now readable IMHO, |
| and much more solid. |
| * Wrote sed -- weighs only 1.8k (5.8k with full regular expressions!). |
| * Fixed a stupid seg-fault in sync |
| * Fixed mount -- mount -a always mounted rw despite /etc/fstab ro entries. |

| * I added a changelog for version 0.30. |
| * adjusted find internals to make it smaller, and removed |
| some redundancy. |
| * Fixed a segfault in ps when /etc/passwd or /etc/group |
| are absent. Now will warn you and carry on. |
| * Added in optional _real_ regular expression support (to be |
| the basis for a future sed utility). When compiled in |
| it adds 3.9k, but makes grep much more capable. |
| * Checked out using nftw(3) for recursive stuff, but unfortunatly |
| it wasn't supported before GNU libc 2.1, and some folks use |
| glibc 2.0.7 since it is much smaller than that latest and greatest. |

| Major changes -- lots of stuff rewritten. Many thanks to Lineo for |
| paying me to make these updates. If you have any problems with busybox, |
| or notice any bugs -- please let me know so I can fix it. These |
| changes include: |
| |
| Core Changes: |
| * busybox can now invoke apps in two ways: via symlinks to the |
| busybox binary, and as 'busybox [function] [arguments]...' |
| * When invoked as busybox, the list of currently compiled in |
| functions is printed out (no this is not bloat -- the list |
| has to be there anyway to map invocation name to function). |
| * busybox no longer parses command lines for apps or displays their |
| usage info. Each app gets to handle (or not handle) this for |
| itself. |
| * Eliminated monadic, dyadic, descend, block_device, and |
| postprocess. It was cumbersome to have so many programs |
| cobbled together in this way. Without them, the app is much |
| more granular. |
| * All shared code now lives in utility.c, and is properly |
| ifdef'ed to be only included for those apps requiring it. |
| * Eliminated struct FileInfo (the basis of monadic, dyadic, etc) |
| so now each app has the function prototype of (da-dum): |
| extern int foo_main(int argc, char** argv); |
| which speeds integration of new apps. |
| * Adjusted the Makefile to make it easier to |
| {en|dis}able debugging. |
| * Changed default compiler optimization to -Os |
| (optimize for smaller binaries). |
| |
| App Changes: |
| * To cope with the new app function prototype and the removal of |
| monadic, dyadic, etc, the following apps were re-written: |
| * cat - Works same as always. |
| * chgrp, chmod, chown - rewrite. Combined into a single |
| source file. Absorbed patches from Enrique Zanardi <ezanard@debian.org> |
| that removes the dependency on libc6 libnss* libraries. |
| * cp - Can now do 'cp -a' can can copy devices, |
| pipes, symlinks, as well as recursive or non-recursive dir copies. |
| * fdflush - adjusted to remove dependancy on struct FileInfo. |
| * find - Now includes some basic regexp matching |
| which will be the basic of a future mini-sed. |
| * ln - Same functionality. |
| * mkdir - Added -p flag to feature set. |
| * mv - rewrite. |
| * rm - Added -f flag to feature set. |
| * rmdir - Same functionality. |
| * swapon, swapoff - Combined into a single binary. No longer |
| uses /etc/swaps. swap{on|off} -a uses /etc/fstab instead. |
| * touch - Same functionality. |
| * date - adjusted with a patch from Matthew Grant <grantma@anathoth.gen.nz> |
| to accomodate glibc timezone support. I then ripped out GNU getopt. |
| * mkswap -- new version merged from util-linux. Can now make >128Meg swaps. |
| * Replaced the old and star, unstar, and tarcat with the tar |
| implementation from sash. Now tar behaves as god intended |
| it to (i.e. tar -xvf <file> and tar -cf <file> <dir> work). |
| * dd -- rewritten. Can with with files, stdin, stdout. |
| * Added the following new apps: |
| * loadfont -- added from debian boot floppies |
| * chroot -- added based on a patch from Paolo Molaro <lupus@lettere.unipd.it> |
| * grep -- I just wrote it. Only matches simple strings |
| * ps -- I just wrote it. Has _no_ options at all, but works. |
| * fsck_minix, mkfs_minix -- added from util-linux, but I ripped out |
| internationalization and such to make them smaller. |
| * sfdisk -- Added from util-linux (minus internationalization and such). |
| * Probably some other changes that I forgot to document... |
