为samsung2410 ARM移植的busybox工具包

0.60.2

    Stable Release

	* Please support busybox and help us buy busybox.net.  See the
	    (current) busybox webpage for details.

    New Applets & New Features:
	* msh was reworked by Vladimir Oleynik's so it can handle things like
		for i in `ls *.c` ; do echo $i ; done
	    unfortunately, this also means that msh is no-longer uClinux safe,
	    and will require some surgery to make it use vfork() again.
	* Charles Steinkuehler <[e-mail]> -- reworked hostname
		so it behaves as expected (backport from busybox unstable)

    Known Problems
	none.  :)

    Bugfixes:
	* Erik Andersen
	    -- Fixed grep -E and egrep so they actually behave as expected
	    -- init cleanups and (theoretical) uClinux support
	    -- Fixed large file (>2Gig) support (enable in the Makefile)
	    -- Always enable test when a shell is enabled (least surprise)
	    -- Made 'mount -a' use proc to avoid a static noauto list
	    -- lots of source tree cleanups
	* Laurence Anderson
	    -- Removed some traces of no-longer existant rpmunpack (which
		has been obsoleted by the rpm2cpio applet).
	    -- Fixed unarchive.c to use the correct buffer when calling 
		dirname, improve an error message, and plug some memory leaks.
	    -- Fixed rpm2cpio.c mkfs_minix.c fsck_minix.c fbset.c to use
		standard types (s/u16/u_int16_t/g  s/u32/u_int32_t/g  etc)
	* ASA <[e-mail]> -- fixed ash handling of command line args 
	    when sourcing ('.') commands.
	* Ethan Benson <[e-mail]>
	    -- Fix mount's noauto option to not automount as "usbdevfs"
	* David Kimdon <[e-mail]> -- fixed md5sum binary sums
	* Matt Kraai
	    -- Fix sed s/[/]// handling (noted by Dumas Patrice).
	    -- Fix dirname(3) improper consts, allow libc version to override.
	    -- Fixed invoking applets when their names contain a leading dash 
		and a full pathname.
	    -- Fix ash exec
	    -- Fixed basename to be SUSv2 compliant (which specifies that the
		extension should stay if it is identical to the basename.
	    -- Fixed rmdir, since SuS2 says rmdir must provide -p
	    -- Fixed sed empty line substitutions (noted by Joshua Hudson).
	* Steve Merrifield <[e-mail]> -- make vi use xmalloc
	* Glenn McGrath
	    -- dpkg cleanups, various bugfixes
	* Vladimir Oleynik
	    -- Add support for `busybox --help APPLET'
	    -- Fixed route so it properly displays all route entries
	    -- Fix for ash leading redirections (i.e. '2>/dev/null ls rubbish')
	* Andrew Tipton <[e-mail]> -- enable vi cursor keys when in
		edit mode as vim does.

0.60.1

    Stable Release


    New Applets & New Features:
	none.  :)

    Known Problems (to be fixed in 0.60.2)
	* msh can segfault on constructs such as
		for i in `ls *.c` ; do echo $i ; done
	  due to a memory allocation problem.  This only seems to cause
	  problems when the backtick expands to be several k in size.


    Bugfixes:
	* Matt Kraai
	    -- Fixed msh to support underscores in variable names.
	    -- Fixed a sed problem with unsatisfied backrefs (the problem was
		noted by Martin Bene).
	    -- Removed BB_SH define entirely.  Now one simply picks the shell
		or shells they want as BB_<foo> in Config.h
	    -- Fixed head to use ferror(3) to check for errors, not errno.
	* Shu-Hao Chang <[e-mail]>
	    -- Fixed sed handling of multiple -e commands
	* Magick <[e-mail]>
	    -- Fixed an init bug with AskFirst and /dev/null
	* Jaspreet Singh <[e-mail]>
	    -- Fixed both a segfault and cosmetic bug in route
	* Erik Andersen
	    -- Made the insmod options BB_FEATURE_NEW_MODULE_INTERFACE and 
		BB_FEATURE_OLD_MODULE_INTERFACE mutually exclusive
	    -- xgetcwd.c now includes sys/param.h to ensure PATH_MAX is defined
	    -- Fixed a potential segfault with lash + BB_FEATURE_CLEAN_UP
	    -- Removed uint64_t from dos2unix, avoiding C lib compat. problems.
	* Glenn McGrath
	    -- Rewrite of tftp (commands match atftp, accepts -b, can use 
		non-standard ports, and is smaller).
	    -- Fixed unarchive exclude list handling
	* Manuel Novoa III
	    -- rewrite of simplify_path so it behaves itself (fixing some
		problems with mount and other applets).
	    -- Fixed ifconfig 'broadcast +' handling and disabled it by default
	* Matthias ? <[e-mail]>
	    -- Fixed syslogd to log all messages from a single connection, not
		just the first.

0.60.0

    Note: 

	For this release I have bumped the version number to 0.60.0.  This
	reflects the fact that this release is intended to form a new stable
	BusyBox release series.  If you need to rely on a stable version of
	BusyBox, you should plan on using the stable 0.60.x series.  If bugs
	show up then I will release 0.60.1, then 0.60.2, etc...  This is also
	intended to deal with the fact that the BusyBox build system will be
	getting a major overhaul for the next release and I don't want that to
	break products that people are shipping.  To avoid that, the new build
	system will be released as part of a new BusyBox development series
	that will have some not-yet-decided-on odd version number.  Once things
	stabablize and the new build system is working for everyone, then I
	will release that as a new stable release series. 

    Critical Bugfixes:
	* Matt Kraai 
	    -- Fixed wget output file opening (wget failed in 0.52).
	    -- Fixed a memory leak in syslogd (found by Adam Slattery).
	* Vladimir Oleynik, Matt Kraai, Erik Andersen
	    -- several nasty bugs in ash and msh.  msh could not assign
		any variables and had debug code still enabled.  ash
		had several compile errors (depending on selected options)
		and variable assignment problems as well.

    New Applets:
	* David McCullough <[e-mail]> -- modprobe
	* Vladimir Oleynik -- traceroute
	* Erik Andersen -- pidof

    New Scripts:
	* David Schleef, Erik Andersen, Stuart Hughes -- depmod.pl
	    This is a replacement for the depmod program from the modutils 
	    package, but is fully cross platform and is designed to run on 
	    your host system (not on the target).

    Other Changes:
	* Erik Andersen 
	    -- fixed busybox.spec so it should now work on redhat systems
	    -- fixed dos2unix and unix2dos so they should work once again
	    -- Adjustments to make busybox more uClinux friendly.  Busybox
		should now work on uClinux systems without needing and source
		code changes (applets that won't work on uClinux systems are 
		now automagicaly disabled).
	    -- various things (cleanups, libc compatibility work, etc, etc)
	* Jim Gleason <[e-mail]>
	    -- Fixed for sed, where it failed to preserve whether or not the 
		line was previously altered when running a subst command.
	* Matt Kraai 
	    -- Made tar read 20 512byte blocks at a time (like GNU tar)
	    -- Allow msh.c assignments with the export and readonly commands.
	    -- Added BB_FEATURE_DEVFS to enable devfs device names.
	    -- Better devfs support
	    -- Don't save/restore vi readonly flag if vi is compiled read-only.
	    -- Reworked rdate option handling (is now smaller).
	    -- Size reduction in ping
	    -- Always write dd counts to stderr
	    -- Allow multiple shells to be enabled
	* Aaron Lehmann 
	    -- slimmed down md5sum 
	    -- contributed a nice new (hand written, not lex/yacc) Posix math 
		support for ash, which is once again a full posix shell.
	* Felix von Leitner <[e-mail]> -- patches to make busybox 
	    work with dietlibc.
	* David McCullough
	    -- Adjustments to make busybox more uClinux friendly
	* Glenn McGrath 
	    -- Fixed gzip so when a filename is '-' it will use stdin/stdout
	    -- dpkg rewrite.  Should now be compatable with the real dpkg, 
		but needs more testing.
	    -- Updates to archiving tools (gunzip/gzip/cpio/ar/etc) 
	    -- Rewrote uuencode, will allow base64 encoding to be used by wget
	* Vladimir Oleynik 
	    -- Fixed tr to support 'tr a-z A-Z' syntax,
	    -- Many ash corrections, optimizations, and cleanups.
	    -- optimizations for traceroute, md5sum, chown, ping
	    -- cmdedit updates and API change
	    -- Namespace cleanup (i.e. adding 'static' private function calls)
	    -- added "stopped jobs" warning to ash on exit
	* Adam Slattery
	    -- Fixed ping compile problem
	* Robert J. Osborne <[e-mail]>
	    -- fixed a vi bug with delete and escape sequences on empty files.

0.52
	
    Critical Bugfixes:
	* Glenn McGrath -- Fixed gunzip, zcat when reading from stdin
	* Marc Karasek and Kanoj (kernel serial.c maintainer) -- fixed init
	    problem on serial consoles with 2.4.3+ kernels.
	
    New Applets:
	* Laurence Anderson -- rpm2cpio applet, this obsoletes rpmunpack 
	    which has now been removed from BusyBox 
	* Laurence Anderson and Glenn McGrath -- cpio applet, currently 
	    only supports unpacking the ascii cpio format.
	* Vladimir Oleynik and Erik Andersen -- added ash, the most correct
	    busybox shell.
	* Larry Doolittle -- hush, small shell designed specifically
	    for busybox.  Quite usable but still a work in progress.
	* Erik Andersen -- msh, minix shell.  A very small but capable shell
	    that only uses vfork, so it can be used on uClinux systems.

    Other Changes:
    	* Sterling Huxley -- Several bugfixes for the vi applet.
	* Glenn McGrath -- Restructure unarchiving code to make more code
	    common to the ar, cpio, dpkg, dpkg-deb applets.
	    tar applet has not yet been assimilated...
	* Matt Kraai -- Rewrote cp, dirname, mkdir, mv, and rm.
	* Paul J.Y. Lahaie <[e-mail]> -- Fixed an endian-ness
	    bug in md5sum (in 0.51, md5sum on big endian machines was broken)
	* Mark Whitley -- rewrote cut, major updates to grep and sed. 
	* Erik Andersen -- bunches of insmod fixes.  It should now always 
	    work (no more segfault or missing symbols problems).
	* Bernhard Kuhn <[e-mail]> and Jinux Kim
	    added uClinux/m68k insmod support.
	* Manuel Novoa III -- rewrote make_human_readable so ls, du, and df
	    should work as expected.  Eliminated use of floats.
	* Aaron Lehmann <[e-mail]> -- Scrubbed gzip.c
	* Alan Modra <[e-mail]> -- fixed an hard to spot
	    bug breaking gunzip checksum checking.
	* Gennady Feldman -- Fixed 'syslog -C' 
	* Gernot Poerner <[e-mail]> -- Added mount bind support.
	* Adam Heath <[e-mail]>  -- wget arbitrary header support
	* John Beppu -- updated the automagical doc generator
	* Zillions of other bugfixes, optimizations, and cleanups.
