+ <li><b>20 January, 2007 -- BusyBox 1.4.0 (stable)</b>
+ <p><a href=http://busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.4.0.tar.bz2>BusyBox 1.4.0</a>.</p>
+
+ <p>Since this is a x.x.0 release, it probably is a bit less "stable"
+ than usual.</p>
+ <p>Changes since previous release:
+ <ul>
+ <li>e2fsprogs are mostly removed from busybox. Some smaller parts remain,
+ the rest of it sits disabled in e2fsprogs/old_e2fsprogs/*, because
+ it's too bloated. Really. I'm afraid it's about the only way we can
+ ever get e2fsprogs cleaned up.
+ <li>less: many improvements. Now can display binary files
+ (although I expect it to have trouble with displays where 8bit chars
+ don't have 1-to-1 char/glyph relationship). Regexp search is not buggy
+ anymore. Less does not read entire input up-front. Reads input
+ as it appears (yay!). Works rather nice as man pager. I recommend it
+ for general use now.
+ <li>IPv6: generic support is in place, many networking applets are
+ upgraded to be IPv6 capable. Probably some work remains, but it is
+ already much better than what we had previously.
+ <li>arp: new applet (thanks to Eric Spakman).
+ <li>fakeidentd: non-forking standalone server part was taking ~90%
+ of the applet. Factored it out (in fact, rewrote it).
+ <li>syslogd: mostly rewritten.
+ <li>decompress_unzip, gzip: sanitized a bit.
+ <li>sed: better hadling of NULs
+ <li>httpd: stop adding our own "Content-type:" to CGI output
+ <li>chown: user.grp works again.
+ <li>minor bugfixes to: passwd, date, tftp, start_stop_daemon, tar,
+ ps, ifupdown, time, su, stty, awk, ping[6], sort,...
+ </ul>
+ </p>
+ </li>

+ <li><b>20 January, 2007 -- BusyBox 1.3.2 (stable)</b>

+
+ <p>This release includes only one trivial fix accumulated since 1.3.1
