<p>lash is deleted from this release. hush can be configured down to almost
the same size, but it is significantly less buggy. It even works
on NOMMU machines (interactive mode and backticks are not working on NOMMU,
though). "lash" applet is still available, but it runs hush.
<p>init has some changes in this release, please report if it causes
problems for you.
<p>Changes since previous release:
<ul>
<li>Build system improvements
<li>Testsuite additions
<li>Stack size reductions, code size reductions, data/bss reductions
<li>An option to prefer IPv4 address if host has both
<li>New applets: hd, sestatus
<li>Removed applets: lash
<li>hush: fixed a few bugs, wired up echo and test to be builtins
<li>init: simplify forking of children
<li>getty: special handling of '#' and '@' is removed
<li>[su]login: sanitize environment if called by non-root
<li>udhcpc: support "bad" servers which send oversized packets
(Cristian Ionescu-Idbohrn &lt;cristian.ionescu-idbohrn at axis.com&gt;)
<li>udhcpc: -O option allows to specify which options to ask tor
(Stefan Hellermann &lt;stefan at the2masters.de&gt;)
<li>udhcpc: optionally check whether given IP is really free (by ARP ping)
(Jonas Danielsson &lt;jonas.danielsson at axis.com&gt;)
<li>vi: now handles files with unlimited line length
<li>vi: speedup for huge line lengths
<li>vi: Del key works
<li>sed: support GNUism '\t'
<li>cp/mv/install: optionally use bigger buffer for bulk copying
<li>line editing: don't eat stack like crazy
<li>passwd: follows symlinked /etc/passwd
<li>renice: accepts priority with +N too
<li>netstat: wide output mode
<li>nameif: extended matching (Nico Erfurth &lt;masta at perlgolf.de&gt;)
<li>test: become NOFORK applet
<li>find: -iname (Alexander Griesser &lt;alexander.griesser at lkh-vil.or.at&gt;)
<li>df: -i option (show inode info) (Pascal Bellard &lt;pascal.bellard at ads-lu.com&gt;)
<li>hexdump: -R option (Pascal Bellard &lt;pascal.bellard at ads-lu.com&gt;)
