+ <br>
+
+ This release adds several new applets including ifconfig, route, pivot_root, stty,
+ and tftp, and also fixes tons of bugs. Tab completion in the
+ shell is now working very well, and the shell's environment variable
+ expansion was fixed. Tons of other things were fixed or made
+ smaller. For a fairly complete overview, see the
+ <a href="ftp://oss.lineo.com/busybox/Changelog">changelog</a>.

+ lash (the busybox shell) is still with us, fixed up a bit so it
+ now behaves itself quite nicely. It really is quite usable as
+ long as you don't expect it to provide Bourne shell grammer.
+ Standard things like pipes, redirects, command line editing, and
+ environment variable expansion work great. But we have found that
+ this shell, while very usable, does not provide an extensible
+ framework for adding in full Bourne shell behavior. So the first order of
+ business as we begin working on the next BusyBox release will be to merge in the new shell
+ currently in progress at
