45 New Applets & New Features:

47
48 Known Problems (to be fixed in 0.60.2)
49 * msh can segfault on constructs such as
50 for i in `ls *.c` ; do echo $i ; done
51 due to a memory allocation problem. This only seems to cause
52 problems when the backtick expands to be several k in size.
53
54
55 Bugfixes:
56 * Matt Kraai
57 -- Fixed msh to support underscores in variable names.
58 -- Fixed a sed problem with unsatisfied backrefs (the problem was
59 noted by Martin Bene).
Eric Andersenbdfd0d72001-10-24 05:00:29 +000060 -- Removed CONFIG_SH define entirely. Now one simply picks the shell
61 or shells they want as CONFIG_<foo> in Config.h
Eric Andersen31b35a12001-08-23 22:05:55 +000062 -- Fixed head to use ferror(3) to check for errors, not errno.
63 * Shu-Hao Chang <shuhao_chang@trend.com.tw>
64 -- Fixed sed handling of multiple -e commands
65 * Magick <magick@linux-fan.com>
66 -- Fixed an init bug with AskFirst and /dev/null

68 -- Fixed both a segfault and cosmetic bug in route
69 * Erik Andersen
Eric Andersenbdfd0d72001-10-24 05:00:29 +000070 -- Made the insmod options CONFIG_FEATURE_NEW_MODULE_INTERFACE and
71 CONFIG_FEATURE_OLD_MODULE_INTERFACE mutually exclusive
Eric Andersen31b35a12001-08-23 22:05:55 +000072 -- xgetcwd.c now includes sys/param.h to ensure PATH_MAX is defined

Eric Andersen31b35a12001-08-23 22:05:55 +000074 -- Removed uint64_t from dos2unix, avoiding C lib compat. problems.
75 * Glenn McGrath
76 -- Rewrite of tftp (commands match atftp, accepts -b, can use
77 non-standard ports, and is smaller).
78 -- Fixed unarchive exclude list handling
79 * Manuel Novoa III
80 -- rewrite of simplify_path so it behaves itself (fixing some
81 problems with mount and other applets).
82 -- Fixed ifconfig 'broadcast +' handling and disabled it by default
83 * Matthias ? <matthias@corelatus.com>
84 -- Fixed syslogd to log all messages from a single connection, not
85 just the first.

92
93 Note:
94
95 For this release I have bumped the version number to 0.60.0. This
96 reflects the fact that this release is intended to form a new stable
97 BusyBox release series. If you need to rely on a stable version of
98 BusyBox, you should plan on using the stable 0.60.x series. If bugs
99 show up then I will release 0.60.1, then 0.60.2, etc... This is also
100 intended to deal with the fact that the BusyBox build system will be
101 getting a major overhaul for the next release and I don't want that to
102 break products that people are shipping. To avoid that, the new build
103 system will be released as part of a new BusyBox development series
104 that will have some not-yet-decided-on odd version number. Once things
105 stabablize and the new build system is working for everyone, then I
106 will release that as a new stable release series.

Eric Andersen57c82fe2001-07-31 16:11:41 +0000109 * Matt Kraai
110 -- Fixed wget output file opening (wget failed in 0.52).
111 -- Fixed a memory leak in syslogd (found by Adam Slattery).
112 * Vladimir Oleynik, Matt Kraai, Erik Andersen
113 -- several nasty bugs in ash and msh. msh could not assign
114 any variables and had debug code still enabled. ash
115 had several compile errors (depending on selected options)
116 and variable assignment problems as well.

125 This is a replacement for the depmod program from the modutils
126 package, but is fully cross platform and is designed to run on
127 your host system (not on the target).

574 '-su' or '-sh' (stuff where argv[0][0]=='-') will now always
575 invoke the shell. Now you can use BusyBox as a login shell.
Eric Andersen7c31ea42000-07-03 14:55:49 +0000576 * ls.c now ignores '-g', since some ftp clients like that sort

Eric Andersenbb374a62000-07-07 19:33:35 +0000586 - BusyBox should now poweroff when asked to do so.
Eric Andersenf1f6d582000-07-11 17:42:56 +0000587 - Fixed 'ln -n' and 'ln -s' so they both work properly.
Eric Andersen78eab2f2000-07-06 17:06:08 +0000588 * Reorganized signal names in kill.c for better architecture support
589 -- patch thanks to simon wood <simon@mungewell.uklinux.net>
Eric Andersen02bc25b2000-07-06 21:29:32 +0000590 * In 0.43, backspace and delete worked properly, but with 0.45,
591 it just echoed a ^? for backspace, and ^H for control-h. This
592 was due to a broken macro in init.c, that is now fixed.
Eric Andersene6b9dfa2000-07-07 20:54:30 +0000593 * Removed sfdisk from BusyBox. It was buggy, fat, and we really
594 couldn't maintain it very well, so including it was not really
595 very appropriate. Those wanting an fdisk are invited to
596 grab a copy from util-linux.
Eric Andersen61dc0572000-07-11 17:29:36 +0000597 * Added 'dumpkmap' to allow people to dump a binary keymap, which can
598 then be loaded in by 'loadkmap' -- submitted by
599 Arne Bernin <arne@matrix.loopback.org>
Eric Andersenda1d1e72000-07-10 23:39:44 +0000600 * Fixed NFS so it supports 2.4.x kernels and NFSv3.
Eric Andersend006c9e2000-07-11 17:45:42 +0000601 * Brand, new versions of grep and sed which use libc regex routines,
602 thanks to Mark Whitley <markw@lineo.com>. The hand-tooled
603 "regexp.[ch]" files have been removed. Much help on these from
604 Matt Kraai as well.

Eric Andersen3c375982000-06-22 00:23:09 +00006100.45
Eric Andersen45087b12000-06-21 22:44:33 +0000611 * Now compiles vs libc5 (which can save lots of space for
612 embedded systems).
Eric Andersenbdfd0d72001-10-24 05:00:29 +0000613 * Added CONFIG_FEATURE_TRIVIAL_HELP which compiles out most all of the
Erik Andersen73c8c9c2000-05-13 05:36:13 +0000614 help messages (i.e --help). Saves 17k over a full compile.
Erik Andersen7ab9c7e2000-05-12 19:41:47 +0000615 * Added cut and tr from minix, since due to the license change,
616 we can now use minix code. Minix tr saves 4k.
Eric Andersen9f16d612000-06-12 23:11:16 +0000617 * insmod now works. It costs 29k, but imagine an initrd with a
618 staticly linked busybox containing only insmod and sh, a few /dev
619 entries, and a kernel module or two... It doesn't get smaller
620 then this folks (I pity the fool that writes insmod in asm ;-).
Eric Andersen45087b12000-06-21 22:44:33 +0000621 Many kudos go to Ron Alder <alder@lineo.com> for finishing this off!
Eric Andersen380e58a2000-06-02 03:25:00 +0000622 * Added a mini ar archive utility, especially written for BusyBox by
623 Glenn McGrath <bug1@netconnect.com.au>
Eric Andersen9f16d612000-06-12 23:11:16 +0000624 * Added mktemp, contributed by Daniel Jacobowitz <dan@debian.org>
625 * Added setkeycodes, for those that have wierd keyboard buttons.
Eric Andersen2b6ab3c2000-06-13 06:54:53 +0000626 * Added md5sum, uuencode and uudecode -- thanks to Alfred M. Szmidt
627 <ams@trillian.itslinux.org> for contributing these.
Erik Andersen330fd2b2000-05-19 05:35:19 +0000628 * Added 'grep -v' option (inverted search) and updated
629 docs accordingly. -beppu
630 * Wrote which
Eric Andersen45087b12000-06-21 22:44:33 +0000631 * Replaced the telnet implementation with one written by
632 Tomi Ollila <too@iki.fi> It works great and costs 3k.
Erik Andersen330fd2b2000-05-19 05:35:19 +0000633 * BusyBox sh (lash) now supports being used as a standalone shell. When
Eric Andersenbdfd0d72001-10-24 05:00:29 +0000634 CONFIG_FEATURE_SH_STANDALONE_SHELL is defined, all the busybox commands may
Erik Andersen330fd2b2000-05-19 05:35:19 +0000635 be invoked as shell internals. Best used when compiling staticly
636 (i.e. DOSTATIC=true)
Eric Andersen89960b82000-05-31 20:08:30 +0000637 * BusyBox sh (lash) internals now behave as expected wrt pipes
638 and redirects.
Erik Andersen73c8c9c2000-05-13 05:36:13 +0000639 * Fixed ping warnings -- fix from Sascha Ziemann <szi@aibon.ping.de>
Erik Andersen6ed02a02000-04-28 22:10:34 +0000640 * Fixed update segfault
641 * Fixed mknod -- minor number was always 0
Eric Andersen89960b82000-05-31 20:08:30 +0000642 * Fixed tar option parsing, so both "tar xvf foo.tar" and
643 "tar -xvf foo.tar" now work (i.e. no "-" before options)
644 (this was very broken in 0.43).
Erik Andersen94f5e0b2000-05-01 19:10:52 +0000645 * Several contributions from Randolph Chung <tausq@debian.org>.
Erik Andersen73c8c9c2000-05-13 05:36:13 +0000646 * cp/mv now accepts the -f flag
Erik Andersen94f5e0b2000-05-01 19:10:52 +0000647 * tail can now accept -<num> commands (e.g. -10) for better
648 compatibility with the standard tail command
Erik Andersenac130e12000-05-10 05:00:31 +0000649 * added a simple id implementation; doesn't support sup. groups yet
650 * logname used getlogin(3) which uses utmp. Now it doesn't.
Erik Andersen5afc8642000-05-02 00:07:56 +0000651 * whoami used getpwuid(3) which uses libc NSS. Now it behaves.
Erik Andersen0e713ce2000-05-05 19:50:32 +0000652 * Add support for "noatime" and "nodiratime" mount flags to mount.
653 * Changed 'umount -f' to mean force, and actually use umount2.
654 * Changed 'umount -l' to mean "Do not free loop device".
Erik Andersenac130e12000-05-10 05:00:31 +0000655 * Fixed basename to support stripping of suffixes. Patch thanks
656 to xiong jianxin <jxiong@uiuc.edu>
Erik Andersen59b9e872000-05-10 05:05:45 +0000657 * cp -fa now works as expected for symlinks (it didn't before)
658 * zcat now works (wasn't working since option parsing was broken)
Erik Andersen330fd2b2000-05-19 05:35:19 +0000659 * Renamed "mnc" to the more correct "nc" (for netcat).
Erik Andersen73c8c9c2000-05-13 05:36:13 +0000660 * Makefile intelligence updates
Eric Andersenb5966362000-05-31 20:04:38 +0000661 * Changed the way init parses /etc/inittab entries to avoid problems
662 with commands that contain colons in them. Fix thanks to
Pavel Roskin339b8922000-06-20 00:11:07 +0000663 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
Eric Andersen86ab8a32000-06-02 03:21:42 +0000664 * Fixed a warning in utility.c due to char being unsigned on Linux/PPC,
Pavel Roskin339b8922000-06-20 00:11:07 +0000665 Fix thanks to Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
Eric Andersen86ab8a32000-06-02 03:21:42 +0000666 * Made "killall" complain (not error and exit) about processes that it
Pavel Roskin339b8922000-06-20 00:11:07 +0000667 cannot find by name -- Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
Eric Andersen86ab8a32000-06-02 03:21:42 +0000668 * Fixed more and ps to have sensible terminal width defaults, thanks
669 to Pavel Roskin.
670 * Fixed all fatalError() calls lacking a "\n", thanks to Pavel Roskin.
Eric Andersen9c8ffa02000-06-02 17:51:39 +0000671 * Fixed a segfault in yes when no args were given -- Pavel Roskin.
Eric Andersenef4268e2000-06-04 05:08:29 +0000672 * Simplified freeramdisk and added argument checking -- Pavel Roskin.
Eric Andersen815e9042000-06-06 16:15:23 +0000673 * Fixed segfault caused by "touch -c"
674 * Fixed segfault caused by "rm -f"
Pavel Roskin2e965232000-06-15 18:04:40 +0000675 * Fixed segfault caused by "ln -s -s" and similar abuses. Further fixes
676 and "--" support from Pavel Roskin.
Eric Andersen815e9042000-06-06 16:15:23 +0000677 * Fixed segfault caused by "cp -a -a" and similar abuses.
Pavel Roskine97da402000-06-14 17:39:41 +0000678 * Implemented "rm -- <foo>". Implementation fixed by Pavel Roskin.
Pavel Roskinc389d912000-06-05 23:41:27 +0000679 * "which" rewritten to use stat(). Fixes to improve its compatability
680 with traditional implementations -- Pavel Roskin.
Pavel Roskin680d65a2000-06-06 17:03:55 +0000681 * "mount" now reports errors from nfsmount() and assumes NFS mount
682 if ':' is present in the device name - Pavel Roskin
Pavel Roskin700a5ae2000-06-06 18:10:17 +0000683 * Fixed exit status for killall - Pavel Roskin
Eric Andersena42982e2000-06-07 17:28:53 +0000684 * Fixed 'swapon -a' and 'swapoff -a', which were broken.
685 * Fixed 'mount -a' so it works as expected.
Eric Andersenbdfd0d72001-10-24 05:00:29 +0000686 * Implemented 'ls -R' (enabled by enabling CONFIG_FEATURE_LS_RECURSIVE)
Pavel Roskin0024abc2000-06-07 20:38:15 +0000687 * Implemented "ping -s", fixed error messages and argument parsing -
688 Pavel Roskin
Pavel Roskinda10ec02000-06-07 21:08:25 +0000689 * Syslogd will not go to background if "-n" is given. Better help
690 and argument checking -- Pavel Roskin
Eric Andersen0c6a9702000-06-09 20:51:50 +0000691 * Fixed a small bug that could cause tar to emit warning messages
692 and not extract the first file in a directory in some cases
693 of nested directories. Thanks to Kevin Traas <kevin@netmaster.com>
694 for helping track this one down.
Erik Andersen73c8c9c2000-05-13 05:36:13 +0000695 * More doc updates
Eric Andersenbaf22bf2000-06-13 00:49:41 +0000696 * Fixed grep "Line too long" problem -- John Beppu
Eric Andersen053b1462000-06-13 06:24:53 +0000697 * Fixed 'grep -q -i B some_file' so it works
John Beppu44760d02000-06-12 23:04:55 +0000698 * math takes input from stdin if no args are given. -- John Beppu
John Beppu00216792000-06-21 19:06:16 +0000699 * math was renamed to dc. Although it deviates from dc's behaviour,
700 this will probably be remedied in the future. -- John Beppu

Erik Andersene2729152000-02-18 21:34:17 +00007140.43
Erik Andersene5b6c7d2000-04-17 16:16:10 +0000715 * Major update to the provided documentation.
Erik Andersend75af992000-03-16 08:09:09 +0000716 * Busybox now includes a shell! It currently costs 7.5 k (plus an
717 additional 2.5 k if you compile in command line editing). Handles
718 job control, has the usual set of builtins, and does everything
719 except for handling programming statements (if, while, etc...)
Erik Andersen2ac2fae2000-03-07 23:32:17 +0000720 * Busybox can now work perfectly when /proc is disabled, thereby
Erik Andersen269bba22000-03-08 14:50:47 +0000721 saving a bunch of memory (kernel /proc support is not thin). This
722 is done by making use of some nice kernel patches I wrote up to
723 support the features that busybox requires and that /proc usually
Eric Andersenbdfd0d72001-10-24 05:00:29 +0000724 provides. To enable this, turn on CONFIG_FEATURE_USE_DEVPS_PATCH and
Erik Andersen269bba22000-03-08 14:50:47 +0000725 patch your kernel with the devps patch in the kernel-patches/
726 directory.
Erik Andersen9cf3bfa2000-04-13 18:49:43 +0000727 * Wrote basename, dirname, killall, and uptime.
Erik Andersen0817d132000-04-09 15:17:40 +0000728 * tar has been completely rewritten by me. Both tar creation and
729 extraction are now well behaved. Costs 7.6k with all optional
730 tar features enabled, and 5k for just tar extraction support.
Erik Andersen64371702000-03-04 22:23:27 +0000731 * Added freeramdisk, which will free up all memory associated
732 with a ram disk. Contributed by Emanuele Caratti <wiz@iol.it>
733 and then adjusted a bit by me.
Erik Andersen9cf3bfa2000-04-13 18:49:43 +0000734 * Added tr from John Lombardo <john@deltanet.com>
Erik Andersend75af992000-03-16 08:09:09 +0000735 * Added echo and test (from me).
Erik Andersenb99ca132000-04-04 18:49:18 +0000736 * Added usleep contributed by Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org>
Erik Andersenb9167cb2000-04-18 22:41:30 +0000737 * BusyBox's bss size has been majorly reduced (was 384668, is now 28740).
Pavel Roskin339b8922000-06-20 00:11:07 +0000738 * Several fixes from Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>:
Erik Andersen9cf3bfa2000-04-13 18:49:43 +0000739 - When `tail' fails to open a file it now exits.
Erik Andersene2729152000-02-18 21:34:17 +0000740 - When `syslogd' is given the `-n' option it should still use
741 fork() for running klogd.
742 * nslookup types are now changed to u_int32_t (instead of uint32_t)
743 changed per a patch from Pascal Bellard <pascal.bellard@ascend.com>
Erik Andersen42387e42000-02-21 17:27:17 +0000744 * Fixed "du" so it gives the same answers as GNU "du" (busybox du used
745 to count hard-linked files more then once). Many thanks to
Erik Andersen27fdd082000-02-19 18:16:49 +0000746 Friedrich Vedder <fwv@myrtle.lahn.de> for the fix.
Erik Andersen5b911dd2000-02-23 22:49:58 +0000747 * Removed /proc dependancies for init and free (while maintaining
748 exactly the same functionality). /proc takes up 90k of kernel
749 space, so it is nice to avoid using it at all costs.
750 * init no longer tries to mount /proc (unless there is less the 1 meg
751 free). Use of /proc (or not) is policy that should be set up in
752 /etc/fstab (or in hardcoded scripts), not in init.
753 * Fixed rebooting when init runs as an initrd.
Erik Andersen029011b2000-03-04 21:19:32 +0000754 * Fixes and updates from Karl M. Hegbloom <karlheg@debian.org>
755 - update.c rewritten to look more like update-2.11
756 - moveed the inode hash out of du.c and into utility.c to make
757 it a common resource that can be used by other apps.
758 - cp_mv.c now checks inodes to see if a source and dest are
759 the same, and prints an error (instead of endlessly looping).
760 - mv now attempts to do a rename, and will fall back to doing
761 a copy only if the rename fails.
Erik Andersen183da4a2000-04-04 18:36:37 +0000762 - Syslogd now supports multiple concurrent connections
Pavel Roskin339b8922000-06-20 00:11:07 +0000763 * Several fixes from Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>:
Erik Andersen029011b2000-03-04 21:19:32 +0000764 - Fixes to sort. Removed "-g", fixed and added "-r"
765 - Fixes to the makefile for handling "strip"
766 * An initial telnet implementation was added by
767 Randolph Chung <tausq@debian.org>.
Erik Andersen246cc6d2000-03-07 07:41:42 +0000768 * Fixed a bug where "sed 's/foo/bar/g'" (i.e. a script w/o a "-e")
Eric Andersenbdfd0d72001-10-24 05:00:29 +0000769 * ps now supports CONFIG_FEATURE_AUTOWIDTH, and can adjust its width
Erik Andersen2ac2fae2000-03-07 23:32:17 +0000770 to match the terminal (defaults to width=79 when this is off).
Erik Andersena3e57ca2000-04-19 03:38:01 +0000771 * ps now accepts (and ignores) all options except for "--help" (which
772 as would be expected displays help).
Erik Andersence917322000-03-13 04:07:02 +0000773 * Fixed mount'ing loop devices when the filesystem type was not
774 specified. It used to revert to non-loop after the first try.
Erik Andersen0d068a22000-03-21 22:32:57 +0000775 * all mallocs now use xmalloc (and so are OOM error safe), and
776 the common error handling saves a few bytes. Thanks to
777 Bob Tinsley <bob@earthrise.demon.co.uk> for the patch.
Erik Andersen298854f2000-03-23 01:09:18 +0000778 * Fix "+" parsing bug in date, from "Merle F. McClelland" <mfm@cts.com>.
Erik Andersenb9167cb2000-04-18 22:41:30 +0000779 * Fix symlink following bug in chmod -R and friends.
780 * Now allows SYSV style 'chown foo:bar' in addition to 'chown foo.bar'
781 * Fixed a bug in the busybox globbing routine such that 'find /dir -name [i]'
782 no longer segfaults.

Erik Andersenfac10d72000-02-07 05:29:42 +0000789
790 * Fairly massive restructuring of umount.c to deal with remounting
791 busy devices read-only. Adds a -r option to control that; it is
Eric Andersenbdfd0d72001-10-24 05:00:29 +0000792 optionally compiled in with CONFIG_FEATURE_REMOUNT
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000793 * Added a bunch of functions to mtab.c to interact with the
794 {get,set,end}mntent interface; as it turns out, those functions do
Erik Andersenfac10d72000-02-07 05:29:42 +0000795 not appear to be re-entrant, and that causes a lot of problems with
796 the way umount was originally written.
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000797 * Makes init send TERM and KILL (instead of HUP and KILL) on reboot
Erik Andersenfac10d72000-02-07 05:29:42 +0000798 to be more consistent with sysvinit
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000799 * Changes to init.c to use the new -r option to umount. Also increased
Erik Andersenfac10d72000-02-07 05:29:42 +0000800 the sleep time between the time the TERM and KILL signals are sent

808 same directory it will print an error and continue.
Erik Andersenfac10d72000-02-07 05:29:42 +0000809 * Also added a warning message to the `mv' usage string saying that
810 this is not GNU mv, and it will break hard links. cp also breaks
811 hard links.
812 * ln.c: implemented `-n' switch, no-deref symlinks.
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000813 * include<sys/param.h>: and use PATH_MAX everywhere. busybox: File
814 * name buffer overrun guards to prevent future crashes.
Erik Andersenfac10d72000-02-07 05:29:42 +0000815 - Always check exit status.
816 - Purge all use of `creat()', replace with `open()'.
817 * utility.c
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000818 - recursiveAction was overriding the value of followLinks thus
819 ignoring it.
Erik Andersenfac10d72000-02-07 05:29:42 +0000820 - isDirectory now takes a followLinks boolean, updated all callers
821 - copyFile had the followLinks logic reversed.
822 * messages.c: New file. Put common error message strings all in
823 one place in an attempt to shrink the binary a little.

Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000828 * changed fsck_minix.c to reduce its .bss size significantly
829 -beppu -piptigger
830 * Made tar creation support in busybox tar optional. You no longer
831 * _have_ to put a "-" in front of tar options. Tar could inadvertently

Erik Andersen06936df2000-01-23 02:14:20 +0000833 certain directories pointed to by symlinks.
Erik Andersena2f69e52000-01-19 04:30:37 +0000834 * Made grep and grep -h do the right thing wrt printing
835 the file name (it failed to print files names in many cases).
Erik Andersenb2660c72000-01-20 19:51:48 +0000836 * Fix a namespace aliasing problem wereby if du was built in, the
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000837 symlink for both du and dutmp would be installed, or then rm was
Erik Andersenb2660c72000-01-20 19:51:48 +0000838 built in, the symlinks for both rm and rmmod would be installed.
Erik Andersende552872000-01-23 01:34:05 +0000839 * Added a closelog() to init.c after loging -- fix thanks to
840 Taketoshi Sano <kgh12351@nifty.ne.jp>
841 * Rewrote and simplified logger. Added the "-t" option, and made it
842 behave itself a bit better.
843 * Optional support contributed by Ben Collins <bcollins@debian.org>
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000844 for the kernel init chroot patch by Werner Almesberger, which
Erik Andersende552872000-01-23 01:34:05 +0000845 allows init to chroot to a new device, and umount the old one.
John Beppu9bc7e892000-01-23 13:54:15 +0000846 * Fixed bug that wouldn't let one chown a symlink -- it would
Erik Andersenfac10d72000-02-07 05:29:42 +0000847 always dereference before. -beppu
Erik Andersen3fe39dc2000-01-25 18:13:53 +0000848 * Fixed a bug where init could have reference already freed memory.
849 Found and fixed by Taketoshi Sano <kgh12351@nifty.ne.jp>
850 * Several contributions from Friedrich Vedder <fwv@myrtle.lahn.de>
Erik Andersen27fdd082000-02-19 18:16:49 +0000851 * Added (and documented) "-n" option for head
852 * Cleanup for a number of usage messages -- also
Erik Andersen3fe39dc2000-01-25 18:13:53 +0000853 contributed Friedrich Vedder <fwv@myrtle.lahn.de>
854 * Cosmetic fix to busybox.c (Don't print a comma at the
855 end of line if there are no more application names).
Erik Andersence5b4662000-01-27 19:50:47 +0000856 * Fixed a stupid bug in "head" option handling ("head -n"
857 would segfault).
Erik Andersen3fe39dc2000-01-25 18:13:53 +0000858 * Moved commonly used functions "xmalloc()" and "exit()"
859 to utility.c (with proper #ifdef's).
860 * Created a tiny tail implementation, removing -c, -q, -v, and making
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000861 tail -f work only with a single file. This reduced tail from 6k to
862 2.4k. The bigger/more featured tail can still be had by disabling
Eric Andersenbdfd0d72001-10-24 05:00:29 +0000863 CONFIG_FEATURE_SIMPLE_TAIL in busybox.defs.h
Erik Andersen5cbdd712000-01-26 20:06:48 +0000864 * Ping now falls back to doing the right thing if /etc/protocols
865 turns up missing.
866 * Fixed mount and umount. Previously they could leak loop device
867 allocations, causing the system to quickly run out. Fix for umount
868 by Ben Collins <bcollins@debian.org>, and mount was fixed by me.
Erik Andersence5b4662000-01-27 19:50:47 +0000869 * ls formatting on eight charactor user names fixed by
870 Randolph Chung <tausq@debian.org>.
871 * cp could, when copying symlinks, change permissions of the
872 files pointed to by the symlinks.
Pavel Roskin339b8922000-06-20 00:11:07 +0000873 * Several fixes from Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>:
Erik Andersenfac10d72000-02-07 05:29:42 +0000874 - `chown' with 1 argument displayed the error incorrectly
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000875 - `fdflush', `length' and `printf' crashed if run without arguments
Erik Andersenfac10d72000-02-07 05:29:42 +0000876 - `fdflush' tried to flush itself using *argv
877 - added "skip" and "seek" to dd.
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000878 - ls no longer messus up output when combining files and
879 directories on the command line
Erik Andersenbf5f0092000-02-14 18:44:33 +0000880 * swapoff -a was not working. Now it is.
881 * init did not cleanly unmount filesystems on reboot. Now it does.
882 * "sed -ne s/foo/bar/" worked but "sed -n -e s/foo/bar/" didn't.
Erik Andersen4d054312000-02-10 07:31:15 +0000883 Now both work.
884 * Some architectures (PowerPc) assume chars are unsigned, so they could
885 not distinguish between EOF and '\0xFF' in sed. Sed now uses ints.
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000886 * Began converting error handling to use some common routines
887 in utility.c
888 * syslogd now has better message handling and ignores SIGHUP.
889 * install.sh had a bug preventing installation to the specified
890 target directory. Fix from Gilbert Coville <gilbert@mvista.com>
891 * You can now spefify alternative strip commands -- change
892 also from Gilbert Coville.

Erik Andersen1dbc17f2000-01-08 21:16:29 +0000900 * Fixed a bug in both cp and mv preventing 'cp foo/README bar'
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000901 type commands (file in a directory to another directory) from
902 working.
Erik Andersen9a9a2612000-01-09 06:49:08 +0000903 * Fixed a logger bug that caused garbage to be written to the syslog
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000904 (unless you used busybox syslog, which hid the bug). Thanks to
905 Alex Holden <alex@linuxhacker.org> for the fix.
906 * /bin/true and /bin/false were echoing a blank line when run.
907 Now fixed.
Erik Andersen05df2392000-01-13 04:43:48 +0000908 * mkdir -p would print an error when asked to mkdir an existing dir
909 with no interveining subdirectories.
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000910 * Fixed "syslogd -O" so that it works. Added -o loop option for mount,
911 * and support in umount for loop
Erik Andersenb7cc49d2000-01-13 06:38:14 +0000912 devices. Support is toggled by MOUNT_LOOP feature -- Ben Collins

Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000914 * Several fixes from Marco Pantaleoni <panta@prosa.it> compile in
Eric Andersenbdfd0d72001-10-24 05:00:29 +0000915 * fullWrite() not only if CONFIG_TAR is defined, but also
916 if CONFIG_CP or CONFIG_MV are (fullWrite() is referenced by copyFile())
Erik Andersen31638212000-01-15 22:28:50 +0000917 * add some compiler optimizations to further reduce executable size
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000918 (as a side note, on my machines the largest code is generated
919 by gcc 2.95.2 with -Os ! The smallest by plain gcc 2.7.2.3 with
920 -O2 -m386 ...)
921 * Compile now won't fail if busybox.def.h defines
Eric Andersenbdfd0d72001-10-24 05:00:29 +0000922 CONFIG_FEATURE_INITRD but not CONFIG_INIT. (init_main used to be
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000923 referenced, but not compiled)
Erik Andersen31638212000-01-15 22:28:50 +0000924 * Fixed a bug in setting TERM for serial console support. TERM now
925 defaults to "ansi" for serial consoles.
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000926 * Fixed a bug in handling the CONSOLE env. variable for serial

Erik Andersen812d4662000-01-07 18:30:40 +0000935 for loading application character maps for Unicode fonts.
936 * Major init re-work. init now supports inittab (slightly different
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000937 but similar to sysvinit), allowing me to get all the policy out of
938 init and into the conf file. It works just fine without inittab
Eric Andersen20c2bdd2000-12-11 19:39:25 +0000939 being present, but if you dont like the default behavior you can
Erik Andersen812d4662000-01-07 18:30:40 +0000940 now do something about it. Init is much cleaner as a result.
941 * Fixed an bug in syslogd causing it to stop after 20 minutes. -erik
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000942 * Fixed an embarrasing segfault in head -beppu Fixed the embarrasing

Erik Andersen7dc16072000-01-04 01:10:25 +0000944 * Re-worked the source tree a bit so it will compile under glibc 2.0.7
Erik Andersen4d1d0111999-12-17 18:44:15 +0000945 with the 2.0.x Linux kernel.
Erik Andersen3fe2ecf1999-12-21 08:52:04 +0000946 * Added 'grep -q' thanks to a patch from "Konstantin Boldyshev"
947 <konst@voshod.com>.
Erik Andersen812d4662000-01-07 18:30:40 +0000948 * Grep -i previously failed on UPPER CASE patterns due to a silly
949 regexp implementation bug that is now fixed.
Erik Andersen00266d31999-12-28 00:17:46 +0000950 * Fixed a bug where tar would set, and then clear SGID and SUID bits.
951 * Fixed a bug where tar would not set the user and group on device
952 special files.
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000953 * Fixed a bug where tar would not restore the time to files. Fixed a
954 * major security problem with tar -- it changed ownership
Erik Andersen812d4662000-01-07 18:30:40 +0000955 of any file pointed to by a symlink to 777 (like say libc....)
956 Ouch!!!
Erik Andersen7dc16072000-01-04 01:10:25 +0000957 * cp and mv were very broken when moving directories. I have rewritten
Erik Andersen812d4662000-01-07 18:30:40 +0000958 them so they should now work as expected.
Erik Andersen1266a131999-12-29 22:19:46 +0000959 * sed now supports addresses (numeric or regexp, with negation) and
960 has an append command, thanks to Marco Pantaleoni <panta@prosa.it>
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000961 * Fixed dmesg. It wasn't parsing its options (-n or -s) properly.
Erik Andersen1266a131999-12-29 22:19:46 +0000962 * Some cosmetic fixes to ls output formatting to make it behave more

Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000977 * I wrote free (just calls "cat /proc/meminfo"). Added tail, based on
978 * tail from GNU textutils-1.19, but adjusted
979 to suit my evil purposes. Costs 6k. I'll make it smaller
980 sometime.
Eric Andersen485b9551999-12-07 23:14:59 +0000981 * on reboot, init called 'umount -a -n', which caused errors
Eric Andersenbdfd0d72001-10-24 05:00:29 +0000982 when CONFIG_MTAB was not enabled. Changed to 'umount -a', which does
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000983 the right thing.
Eric Andersenabc0f4f1999-12-08 23:19:36 +0000984 * init will now try to run /sbin/getty if it is present (for easy
985 integration with the about-to-be-released tinylogin.)
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000986 * kill now behaves itself properly, added 'kill -l' to list signals 'ls
987 * -l' was failing on long directories, since my_getid was leaking
Eric Andersen1792f8c1999-12-09 06:11:36 +0000988 one file descriptor per file. Oops.
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000989 * Fixed rebooting from init. I'd accidently left some debugging code
990 * in
Eric Andersenf0758dd1999-12-09 07:57:58 +0000991 which blocked reboots.
Eric Andersen2cb55071999-12-10 08:25:07 +0000992 * Fixed reboot, halt (and added poweroff) such that they handle it when
993 init is not at PID 1 (like when running in an initrd).
John Beppu29fcc901999-12-09 23:33:04 +0000994 * Added a prelinary du implementation. Some parameter parsing
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +0000995 stuff still needs to be added. -beppu (John Beppu
996 <beppu@lineo.com>)

1003 file existed.
Eric Andersend00c2621999-12-07 08:37:31 +00001004 * df will not exit on error, but will stat all mounted filesystems.
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +00001005 * Fixed tar so uid/gid/permissions on extracted tarballs will be
1006 correct.
Eric Andersenb186d981999-12-03 09:19:54 +00001007 * Fixed find -name so it properly uses shell wildcard patterns
1008 (i.e. `*', `?', and `[]') instead of regular expressions, which
1009 was causing some confusing and unexpected behavior.
Eric Andersende1d6121999-12-03 15:14:25 +00001010 * Added klogd to syslogd, so now the log will contain both system and
1011 kernel messages.
Eric Andersen0ecb54a1999-12-05 23:24:55 +00001012 * syslogd now creates the /dev/log socket to make sure it is there, and
1013 is actually a socket with the right permissions.
Eric Andersend00c2621999-12-07 08:37:31 +00001014 * I've taken a first step to making busybox not need the /proc
1015 filesystem. Most apps don't need it. Those that _require_ it,
1016 will complain if you enable them when you disable

1023 from the command line or scripts) With both compiled in, costs 4k.
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +00001024 * Fixed 'make install' so symlinks are installed in their proper
1025 * locations. Changed the build system slightly so that features can
1026 * now be enabled
1027 or disabled from the busybox.defs.h header file, without trying to
1028 compile in a source file named after that featue (unless that file
1029 exists).
1030 * Several options are now moved into busybox.defs.h Now 'rm -R' and 'rm
1031 * -r' both work. dd now properly handles input beyond 1 block from
1032 * stdin. Fixed a bug where tar unpacked everything a directories.
1033 * Moved some code
1034 from createPath into mkdir where it belonged, thereby making tar
1035 work properly.
1036 * Fixed an off-by-one bug in cat. Given a list of file it wouldn't cat
1037 * out the

Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +00001039 * Fixed 'ls -ln' so numeric group/uid are presented properly, and fixed

1041 so when uid/gid is not in /etc/{passwd,group} the numeric group/uid
1042 are presented properly.

Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +00001058 * NFS support added to mount by Eric Delaunay. It costs 10k when
1059 * compiled
Eric Andersena9c95ea1999-11-15 17:33:30 +00001060 in, but that is still a big win for those that use NFS.
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +00001061 * Made 'rm -f' be silent for non-existant files (thanks to Eric
1062 * Delaunay). changed zcat.c to gunzip.c. It now obeys the principle
1063 * of least surprise
1064 and acts as god intended gunzip and zcat to act. They answer
1065 --help and obey the '-c' flag.
1066 * Fixed a bug in mv which caused it to not move files when the
1067 * destination
Eric Andersended62591999-11-18 00:19:26 +00001068 was a directory.
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +00001069 * Fixed a decimal-instead-of-octal bug causing mkdir to make
1070 * directories
Eric Andersended62591999-11-18 00:19:26 +00001071 with very wrong permissions.
1072 * chmod would overwrite file permissions instead of modifying them.
1073 Now it properly modifies permissions.
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +00001074 * Init now sends warnings destined for the console to /dev/console to
1075 * ensure
1076 they show up on whatever the active console it. Otherwise
1077 important messages (for example that the system is rebooting) were
1078 not seen when switched to a different VT.

Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +00001083 * gzip now obeys the principle of least surprise and acts like god
1084 * intended
1085 (i.e. it accepts a file name, answers --help, and obeys the '-c'
1086 flag and only then outputs to stdout).
Eric Andersen96bcfd31999-11-12 01:30:18 +00001087 * Fixed more.c to compile autowidth on sparc and set initial winsize
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +00001088 to 0,0 in case the TIOCGWINSZ ioctl fails. Fix thanks to Eric
1089 Delaunay.
Eric Andersend73dc5b1999-11-10 23:13:02 +00001090 * Fixed tar so it now works as expected (it had TRUE/FALSE backwards)
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +00001091 * tar now accepts --help chmod, chown, and chgrp usage now works
1092 * General usage (i.e. --help) cleanups for most apps umount now parses
1093 * options correctly tar can now unpack tarballs containing device
1094 * special files,
1095 sockets, and fifos (though it can't pack them up) thanks to Matt
1096 Porter. Creating archives containing these is still left to the
1097 interested student.
Eric Andersen96bcfd31999-11-12 01:30:18 +00001098 * fixed up the license in more.c to properly point to Bruce Perens.

Eric Andersen07e52971999-11-07 07:38:08 +00001104 Patch thanks to Eric Delaunay
1105 * init now properly handles sparc serial consoles and does a
Eric Andersen84d85681999-11-10 20:17:47 +00001106 better job of finding the real console device rather than using
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +00001107 /dev/console which doesn't support job control. Patch also thanks
1108 to Eric Delaunay.
Eric Andersen50d63601999-11-09 01:47:36 +00001109 * more started to read from stdin after the last file was finished, and
1110 options were not parsed correctly (fix thanks to Eric Delaunay).
Eric Andersenbdfd0d72001-10-24 05:00:29 +00001111 * more will now use the terminal size if CONFIG_FEATURE_AUTOWIDTH is on.
Eric Andersen50d63601999-11-09 01:47:36 +00001112 * rm wouldn't remove a symlink unless the symlink was valid. This was
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +00001113 a side effect of the busybox 0.32 recursiveAction() fix. Things
Eric Andersen50d63601999-11-09 01:47:36 +00001114 should now work correctly.
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +00001115 * grep wouldn't grep stdin. Now it does. sed wouldn't sed stdin. Now
1116 * it does. sed was appending a \n to the end of lines with
1117 * replacements.
Eric Andersen50d63601999-11-09 01:47:36 +00001118 Now it doesn't do that.

1127 * Fixed ln so it works now (it was very broken).
1128 * Fixed df so it won't segfault when there is no /etc/fstab,
Eric Andersenbdfd0d72001-10-24 05:00:29 +00001129 * If CONFIG_MTAB is not defined, df and mount will whine if /etc/fstab

Eric Andersen99976851999-11-05 01:21:49 +00001139 * usage() now prints the BusyBox version. This will help folks
Eric Andersena07f0b01999-10-22 19:49:09 +00001140 realize that they are not in Kansas anymore.
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +00001141 * Fixed mkdir -m option so that it works. kill segfaulted w/o any
1142 * arguments. Now it doesn't do that. kill wasn't properly accepting
1143 * signal names. It does now. Added new apps chvt and deallocvt (I
1144 * should probably add open) Major rewrite of init.c. Code is now
1145 * readable by mere mortals IMHO. Wrote sed -- weighs only 1.8k (5.8k
1146 * with full regular expressions!). Fixed a stupid seg-fault in sync
1147 * Fixed mount -- mount -a failed to parse and apply mount options Fixed
1148 * umount -n (patch thanks to Matthew Grant <grantma@anathoth.gen.nz>)
Eric Andersenbdfd0d72001-10-24 05:00:29 +00001149 * umount -a no longer umounts /proc Added CONFIG_MTAB, allowing (at the
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +00001150 * cost of ~1.5k and the need for a rw /etc)
1151 folks to use a real /etc/mtab file instead of a symlink to
1152 /proc/mounts. mount, and umount will add/remove entries and df
Eric Andersenbdfd0d72001-10-24 05:00:29 +00001153 will now use /etc/mtab if CONFIG_MTAB is defined.
Eric Andersencf8c9cf1999-11-05 00:31:46 +00001154 * Fixed a nice bug in recursiveAction() which caused it to infinitely
1155 hunt through /proc/../fd/* creating new file descriptors if it
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +00001156 followed the /dev/fd link over to /proc. recursiveAction() now
1157 lstat's the file when followLinks==FALSE so it won't follow links

1166 * make it smaller, and removed
Eric Andersenaa0765e1999-10-22 04:30:20 +00001167 some redundancy.
1168 * Fixed a segfault in ps when /etc/passwd or /etc/group
1169 are absent. Now will warn you and carry on.
1170 * Added in optional _real_ regular expression support (to be
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +00001171 the basis for a future sed utility). When compiled in it adds
1172 3.9k, but makes grep much more capable.
Eric Andersen51f8c891999-10-22 05:14:44 +00001173 * Checked out using nftw(3) for recursive stuff, but unfortunatly
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +00001174 it wasn't supported before GNU libc 2.1, and some folks use glibc

Eric Andersenbdfd0d72001-10-24 05:00:29 +00001180 Major changes -- lots of stuff rewritten. If you have any problems
1181 with busybox, or notice any bugs -- please let me know so I can fix
1182 it. These changes include:
Eric Andersenaa0765e1999-10-22 04:30:20 +00001183
1184 Core Changes:
1185 * busybox can now invoke apps in two ways: via symlinks to the
1186 busybox binary, and as 'busybox [function] [arguments]...'
1187 * When invoked as busybox, the list of currently compiled in
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +00001188 functions is printed out (no this is not bloat -- the list has
1189 to be there anyway to map invocation name to function).
Eric Andersenaa0765e1999-10-22 04:30:20 +00001190 * busybox no longer parses command lines for apps or displays their
1191 usage info. Each app gets to handle (or not handle) this for
1192 itself.
1193 * Eliminated monadic, dyadic, descend, block_device, and
1194 postprocess. It was cumbersome to have so many programs
1195 cobbled together in this way. Without them, the app is much
1196 more granular.
1197 * All shared code now lives in utility.c, and is properly
1198 ifdef'ed to be only included for those apps requiring it.
1199 * Eliminated struct FileInfo (the basis of monadic, dyadic, etc)
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +00001200 so now each app has the function prototype of (da-dum): extern
1201 int foo_main(int argc, char** argv); which speeds integration
1202 of new apps.
Eric Andersenaa0765e1999-10-22 04:30:20 +00001203 * Adjusted the Makefile to make it easier to
1204 {en|dis}able debugging.
1205 * Changed default compiler optimization to -Os
1206 (optimize for smaller binaries).
1207
1208 App Changes:
1209 * To cope with the new app function prototype and the removal of
1210 monadic, dyadic, etc, the following apps were re-written:
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +00001211 * cat - Works same as always. chgrp, chmod, chown -
1212 * rewrite. Combined into a single
1213 source file. Absorbed patches from Enrique Zanardi
1214 <ezanard@debian.org> that removes the dependency on
1215 libc6 libnss* libraries.
Eric Andersenaa0765e1999-10-22 04:30:20 +00001216 * cp - Can now do 'cp -a' can can copy devices,
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +00001217 pipes, symlinks, as well as recursive or non-recursive
1218 dir copies.
1219 * fdflush - adjusted to remove dependancy on struct
1220 * FileInfo. find - Now includes some basic regexp matching
Eric Andersenaa0765e1999-10-22 04:30:20 +00001221 which will be the basic of a future mini-sed.
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +00001222 * ln - Same functionality. mkdir - Added -p flag to
1223 * feature set. mv - rewrite. rm - Added -f flag to
1224 * feature set. rmdir - Same functionality. swapon,
1225 * swapoff - Combined into a single binary. No longer
1226 uses /etc/swaps. swap{on|off} -a uses /etc/fstab
1227 instead.
1228 * touch - Same functionality. date - adjusted with a patch
1229 * from Matthew Grant <grantma@anathoth.gen.nz>
1230 to accomodate glibc timezone support. I then ripped out GNU
1231 getopt.
Erik Andersen6acaa402000-03-26 14:03:20 +00001232 * mkswap -- new version merged from util-linux. Can now make
1233 >128Meg swaps.
1234 * Replaced the old and star, unstar, and tarcat with the tar
1235 implementation from sash. Now tar behaves as god intended it
1236 to (i.e. tar -xvf <file> and tar -cf <file> <dir> work).
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +00001237 * dd -- rewritten. Can with with files, stdin, stdout. Added the
1238 * following new apps: loadfont -- added from debian boot floppies
1239 * chroot -- added based on a patch from Paolo Molaro
1240 * <lupus@lettere.unipd.it> grep -- I just wrote it. Only matches
1241 * simple strings ps -- I just wrote it. Has _no_ options at all,
1242 * but works. fsck_minix, mkfs_minix -- added from util-linux, but
1243 * I ripped out
Eric Andersenaa0765e1999-10-22 04:30:20 +00001244 internationalization and such to make them smaller.
Erik Andersen9ffdaa62000-02-11 21:55:04 +00001245 * sfdisk -- Added from util-linux (minus
1246 * internationalization and such). Probably some other
1247 * changes that I forgot to document...
