| 2 | * Fixed a segfault in 'umount -a' when a badly formed /etc/fstab |
| 3 | file existed. |
| 4 | * df will not exit on error, but will try to stat all mounted filesystems. |
Eric Andersen | 77619b9 | 1999-11-29 04:31:50 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 5 | * Fixed tar so uid/gid/permissions on extracted tarballs will be correct. |
Eric Andersen | b186d98 | 1999-12-03 09:19:54 +0000 | [diff] [blame^] | 6 | * Fixed find -name so it properly uses shell wildcard patterns |
| 7 | (i.e. `*', `?', and `[]') instead of regular expressions, which |
| 8 | was causing some confusing and unexpected behavior. |

Eric Andersen | befda6e | 1999-11-25 08:06:22 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 13 | * Wrote a micro syslogd, and a logger util (to log things to the syslog |
| 14 | from the command line or scripts) With both compiled in, costs 4k. |
Eric Andersen | fa213cd | 1999-11-19 06:24:35 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 15 | * Fixed 'make install' so symlinks are installed in their proper locations. |
Eric Andersen | 5d44d1f | 1999-11-22 06:01:01 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 16 | * Changed the build system slightly so that features can now be enabled |
| 17 | or disabled from the busybox.defs.h header file, without trying to |
| 18 | compile in a source file named after that featue (unless that file exists). |
| 19 | * Several options are now moved into busybox.defs.h |
Eric Andersen | 08b1034 | 1999-11-19 02:38:58 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 20 | * Now 'rm -R' and 'rm -r' both work. |
Eric Andersen | fa213cd | 1999-11-19 06:24:35 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 21 | * dd now properly handles input beyond 1 block from stdin. |
Eric Andersen | 394f764 | 1999-11-23 21:38:12 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 22 | * Fixed a bug where tar unpacked everything a directories. Moved some code |
| 23 | from createPath into mkdir where it belonged, thereby making tar work properly. |
| 24 | * Fixed an off-by-one bug in cat. Given a list of file it wouldn't cat out the |
| 25 | last file in the list. |
Eric Andersen | 3843e96 | 1999-11-25 07:30:46 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 26 | * Fixed 'ls -ln' so numeric group/uid are presented properly, and fixed 'ls -l' |
| 27 | so when uid/gid is not in /etc/{passwd,group} the numeric group/uid are |
| 28 | presented properly. |
| 29 | * Also added a TODO. |

| 36 | if= and of= are set (fix thanks to Eric Delaunay). |
Eric Andersen | ded6259 | 1999-11-18 00:19:26 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 37 | * Don't try to close the file descriptor of a pipein tar. (fix also from |
Eric Andersen | b6a44b8 | 1999-11-13 04:47:09 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 38 | Eric Delaunay). |
| 39 | * Made createPath be quiet (again thanks to Eric Delaunay). |
| 40 | * If BB_CONSOLE_CMD_IF_RC_SCRIPT_EXITS is defined, then whatever |
| 41 | command you define it as will be run if the init script exits. |
Eric Andersen | ded6259 | 1999-11-18 00:19:26 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 42 | * Updated install.sh to make it more robust (thanks to Adam Di Carlo) |
Eric Andersen | a9c95ea | 1999-11-15 17:33:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 43 | * NFS support added to mount by Eric Delaunay. It costs 10k when compiled |
| 44 | in, but that is still a big win for those that use NFS. |
| 45 | * Made 'rm -f' be silent for non-existant files (thanks to Eric Delaunay). |
Eric Andersen | d80e851 | 1999-11-16 00:46:00 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 46 | * changed zcat.c to gunzip.c. It now obeys the principle of least surprise |
| 47 | and acts as god intended gunzip and zcat to act. They answer --help and |
| 48 | obey the '-c' flag. |
| 49 | * Fixed a bug in mv which caused it to not move files when the destination |
Eric Andersen | ded6259 | 1999-11-18 00:19:26 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 50 | was a directory. |
| 51 | * Fixed a decimal-instead-of-octal bug causing mkdir to make directories |
| 52 | with very wrong permissions. |
| 53 | * chmod would overwrite file permissions instead of modifying them. |
| 54 | Now it properly modifies permissions. |
| 55 | * Init now sends warnings destined for the console to /dev/console to ensure |
| 56 | they show up on whatever the active console it. Otherwise important |
| 57 | messages (for example that the system is rebooting) were not seen when |
| 58 | switched to a different VT. |

| 64 | (i.e. it accepts a file name, answers --help, and obeys the '-c' flag |
| 65 | and only then outputs to stdout). |
| 66 | * Fixed more.c to compile autowidth on sparc and set initial winsize |
| 67 | to 0,0 in case the TIOCGWINSZ ioctl fails. Fix thanks to Eric Delaunay. |
Eric Andersen | d73dc5b | 1999-11-10 23:13:02 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 68 | * Fixed tar so it now works as expected (it had TRUE/FALSE backwards) |

Eric Andersen | 96bcfd3 | 1999-11-12 01:30:18 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 73 | * tar can now unpack tarballs containing device special files, |

| 75 | to Matt Porter. Creating archives containing these is still |
| 76 | left to the interested student. |

| 84 | * init now properly handles sparc serial consoles and does a |
Eric Andersen | 84d8568 | 1999-11-10 20:17:47 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 85 | better job of finding the real console device rather than using |
Eric Andersen | 07e5297 | 1999-11-07 07:38:08 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 86 | /dev/console which doesn't support job control. Patch also |

Eric Andersen | 50d6360 | 1999-11-09 01:47:36 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 88 | * more started to read from stdin after the last file was finished, and |

Eric Andersen | 3d8dbe1 | 1999-11-09 01:51:02 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 90 | * more will now use the terminal size if BB_FEATURE_AUTOWIDTH is on. |
Eric Andersen | 50d6360 | 1999-11-09 01:47:36 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 91 | * rm wouldn't remove a symlink unless the symlink was valid. This was |
| 92 | a side effect of the busybox 0.32 recursiveAction() fix. Things |
| 93 | should now work correctly. |
| 94 | * grep wouldn't grep stdin. Now it does. |
| 95 | * sed wouldn't sed stdin. Now it does. |
| 96 | * sed was appending a \n to the end of lines with replacements. |
| 97 | Now it doesn't do that. |
| 98 | * ls -l now bypasses libc6 nss when displaying user/group names. |
| 99 | Now uses my_getpwuid and my_getgrgid. |

Eric Andersen | d0246fb | 1999-11-04 21:18:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 124 | * Added new apps chvt and deallocvt (I should probably add open) |

Eric Andersen | ff719d6 | 1999-10-29 23:36:31 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 126 | * Wrote sed -- weighs only 1.8k (5.8k with full regular expressions!). |

Eric Andersen | d0246fb | 1999-11-04 21:18:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 131 | * Added BB_MTAB, allowing (at the cost of ~1.5k and the need for a rw /etc) |
| 132 | folks to use a real /etc/mtab file instead of a symlink to /proc/mounts. |
| 133 | mount, and umount will add/remove entries and df will now use /etc/mtab |

Eric Andersen | cf8c9cf | 1999-11-05 00:31:46 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 135 | * Fixed a nice bug in recursiveAction() which caused it to infinitely |
| 136 | hunt through /proc/../fd/* creating new file descriptors if it |
| 137 | followed the /dev/fd link over to /proc. recursiveAction() now |
| 138 | lstat's the file when followLinks==FALSE so it won't follow links |

| 148 | * Fixed a segfault in ps when /etc/passwd or /etc/group |
| 149 | are absent. Now will warn you and carry on. |
| 150 | * Added in optional _real_ regular expression support (to be |
Eric Andersen | 8eefd02 | 1999-10-22 05:18:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 151 | the basis for a future sed utility). When compiled in |

| 160 | Major changes -- lots of stuff rewritten. Many thanks to Lineo for |
| 161 | paying me to make these updates. If you have any problems with busybox, |
Eric Andersen | aa0765e | 1999-10-22 04:30:20 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 162 | or notice any bugs -- please let me know so I can fix it. These |
| 163 | changes include: |
| 164 | |
| 165 | Core Changes: |
| 166 | * busybox can now invoke apps in two ways: via symlinks to the |
| 167 | busybox binary, and as 'busybox [function] [arguments]...' |
| 168 | * When invoked as busybox, the list of currently compiled in |
| 169 | functions is printed out (no this is not bloat -- the list |
| 170 | has to be there anyway to map invocation name to function). |
| 171 | * busybox no longer parses command lines for apps or displays their |
| 172 | usage info. Each app gets to handle (or not handle) this for |
| 173 | itself. |
| 174 | * Eliminated monadic, dyadic, descend, block_device, and |
| 175 | postprocess. It was cumbersome to have so many programs |
| 176 | cobbled together in this way. Without them, the app is much |
| 177 | more granular. |
| 178 | * All shared code now lives in utility.c, and is properly |
| 179 | ifdef'ed to be only included for those apps requiring it. |
| 180 | * Eliminated struct FileInfo (the basis of monadic, dyadic, etc) |
| 181 | so now each app has the function prototype of (da-dum): |
| 182 | extern int foo_main(int argc, char** argv); |
| 183 | which speeds integration of new apps. |
| 184 | * Adjusted the Makefile to make it easier to |
| 185 | {en|dis}able debugging. |
| 186 | * Changed default compiler optimization to -Os |
| 187 | (optimize for smaller binaries). |
| 188 | |
| 189 | App Changes: |
| 190 | * To cope with the new app function prototype and the removal of |
| 191 | monadic, dyadic, etc, the following apps were re-written: |
| 192 | * cat - Works same as always. |
| 193 | * chgrp, chmod, chown - rewrite. Combined into a single |
| 194 | source file. Absorbed patches from Enrique Zanardi <ezanard@debian.org> |
| 195 | that removes the dependency on libc6 libnss* libraries. |
| 196 | * cp - Can now do 'cp -a' can can copy devices, |
| 197 | pipes, symlinks, as well as recursive or non-recursive dir copies. |
| 198 | * fdflush - adjusted to remove dependancy on struct FileInfo. |
| 199 | * find - Now includes some basic regexp matching |
| 200 | which will be the basic of a future mini-sed. |
| 201 | * ln - Same functionality. |
| 202 | * mkdir - Added -p flag to feature set. |
| 203 | * mv - rewrite. |
| 204 | * rm - Added -f flag to feature set. |
| 205 | * rmdir - Same functionality. |
| 206 | * swapon, swapoff - Combined into a single binary. No longer |
| 207 | uses /etc/swaps. swap{on|off} -a uses /etc/fstab instead. |
| 208 | * touch - Same functionality. |
| 209 | * date - adjusted with a patch from Matthew Grant <grantma@anathoth.gen.nz> |
| 210 | to accomodate glibc timezone support. I then ripped out GNU getopt. |
| 211 | * mkswap -- new version merged from util-linux. Can now make >128Meg swaps. |
| 212 | * Replaced the old and star, unstar, and tarcat with the tar |
| 213 | implementation from sash. Now tar behaves as god intended |
| 214 | it to (i.e. tar -xvf <file> and tar -cf <file> <dir> work). |
| 215 | * dd -- rewritten. Can with with files, stdin, stdout. |
| 216 | * Added the following new apps: |
| 217 | * loadfont -- added from debian boot floppies |
| 218 | * chroot -- added based on a patch from Paolo Molaro <lupus@lettere.unipd.it> |
| 219 | * grep -- I just wrote it. Only matches simple strings |
| 220 | * ps -- I just wrote it. Has _no_ options at all, but works. |
| 221 | * fsck_minix, mkfs_minix -- added from util-linux, but I ripped out |
| 222 | internationalization and such to make them smaller. |
| 223 | * sfdisk -- Added from util-linux (minus internationalization and such). |
| 224 | * Probably some other changes that I forgot to document... |
