- <li><b>Sep 29, 2006 -- New license email address.</b>
+ <li><b>24 October, 2006 -- BusyBox 1.2.2 (stable)</b>
+ <p>It's a bit overdue, but
+ <a href=http://busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.2.2.tar.bz2>here is
+ BusyBox 1.2.2</a>.</p>
+
+ <p>This release has dozens of fixes backported from the ongoing development
+ branch. There are a couple of bugfixes to sed, two fixes to documentation
+ generation (BusyBox.html shouldn't have USE() macros in it anymore), fix
+ umount to report the right errno on failure and to umount block devices by
+ name with newer kernels, fix mount to handle symlinks properly, make mdev
+ delete device nodes when called for hotplug remove, fix a segfault
+ in traceroute, a minor portability fix to md5sum option parsing, a build
+ fix for httpd with old gccs, an options parsing tweak to hdparm, make test
+ fail gracefully when getgroups() returns -1, fix a race condition in
+ modprobe when two instances run at once (hotplug does this), make "tar xf
+ foo.tar dir/dir" extract all subdirectories, make our getty initialize the
+ terminal more like mingetty, an selinux build fix, an endianness fix in
+ ping6, fix for zcip defending addresses, clean up some global variables in
+ gzip to save memory, fix sulogin -tNNN, a help text tweak, several warning
+ fixes and build fixes, fixup dnsd a bit, and a partridge in a pear tree.</p>
+
+ <p>As <a href=http://lwn.net/Articles/202106/>Linux Weekly News noted</a>,
+ this is my (Rob's) last release of BusyBox. The new maintainer is Denis
+ Vlasenko, I'm off to do <a href=http://landley.net/code>other things</a>.
