+ <li><b>23 March, 2007 -- BusyBox 1.5.0 (unstable)</b>
+ <p><a href=http://busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.5.0.tar.bz2>BusyBox 1.5.0</a>.
+ </p>
+ <p>Since this is a x.x.0 release, it probably does not deserve "stable"
+ label. Please help making 1.5.1 stable by testing 1.5.0.</p>
+ <p>Notable changes since previous release:
+ <ul>
+ <li>find: added support for -user, -not, fixed -mtime, -mmin, -perm
+ <li>[de]archivers: merge common logic into one module
+ <li>ping[6]: unified code for both
+ <li>less: regex search improved
+ <li>ash: more readable code, testsuite added
+ <li>sed: several very obscure bugs fixed
+ <li>chown: -H, -L, -P support (required by POSIX)
+ <li>tar: handle (broken) checksums a-la Sun; tar restores mode again
+ <li>grep: implement -w, "implement" -a and -I by ignoring them
+ <li>cp: more sane behavior when overwriting existing files
+ <li>init: stop doing silly things with the console (-400 bytes)
+ <li>httpd: make httpd usable for NOMMU CPUs; fix POSTDATA handling bugs
+ <li>httpd: run interpreter for configured file extensions in any dir,
+ not only in /cgi-bin/
+ <li>chrt: new applet
+ <li>SELinux: SELinux-related code and -Z option added to several applets,
+ new SELinux-specific applets: chcon, runcon.
+ <li>Build system: produces link map, uses -Wwrite-strings to catch
+ improper usage of string constants.
+ <li>Data and bss section usage audited and reduced - should help NOMMU
+ targets.
+ <li>Applets with bug fixes: gunzip, vi, syslogd, dpkg, ls, adjtimex, resize,
+ sv, printf, diff, awk, sort, dpkg, diff, tftp
+ <li>Applets with usability improvements: swapon, more, ifup/ifdown, hwclock,
+ udhcpd, start_stop_daemon, cmp
+ <li>Applets with code cleaned up: telnet, fdisk, fsck_minix, mkfs_minix,
+ syslogd, swapon, runsv, svlogd, klogd
+ </ul>
+ </p>
