<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>
