+  <li><b>4 November 2007 -- BusyBox 1.8.0 (unstable)</b>
+    <p><a href=http://busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.8.0.tar.bz2>BusyBox 1.8.0</a>.
+    (<a href=http://busybox.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/branches/busybox_1_8_stable/>svn</a>,
+    <a href=http://busybox.net/downloads/fixes-1.8.0/>patches</a>,
+    <a href=http://busybox.net/fix.html>how to add a patch</a>)</p>
+
+    <p>Note: this is probably the very last release with lash. It will be dropped. Please migrate to hush.
+
+    <p>Applets which had many changes since 1.7.x:
+    <p>httpd:
+      <ul>
+	<li>does not clear environment, CGIs will see all environment variables which were set for httpd
+	<li>fix bug where we were trying to read more POSTDATA than content-length
+	<li>fix trivial bug (spotted by Alex Landau)
+	<li>optional support for partial downloads
+	<li>simplified CGI i/o loop (now it looks good to me)
+	<li>small auth and IPv6 fixes (Kim B. Heino &lt;Kim.Heino at bluegiga.com>)
+	<li>support for proxying connection to other http server (by Alex Landau &lt;landau_alex at yahoo.com>)
+      </ul>
+
+    <p>top:
+      <ul>
+	<li>TOPMEM feature - 's(how sizes)' command
+	<li>don't wait before final bailout (try top -b -n1)
+	<li>fix for command line wrapping
+      </ul>
+
+    <p>Build system improvements: libbusybox mode restored (it was lost in transition to new makefiles).
+
+    <p>Code and data size in comparison with 1.7.3:<pre>
+Equivalent .config, i386 uclibc static builds:
+   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
+ 768123	   1055	  10768	 779946	  be6aa	busybox-1.7.3/busybox
+ 759693	    974	   9420	 770087	  bc027	busybox-1.8.0/busybox</pre>
+
+    <p>New applets:
+      <ul>
+	<li>microcom: new applet by Vladimir Dronnikov &lt;dronnikov at gmail.ru&gt;
+	<li>kbd_mode: new applet by Loic Grenie &lt;loic.grenie at gmail.com&gt;
+	<li>bzip2: port bzip2 1.0.4 to busybox, 9 kb of code
+	<li>pgrep, pkill: new applets by Loic Grenie &lt;loic.grenie at gmail.com&gt;
+	<li>setsebool: new applet (Yuichi Nakamura &lt;ynakam at hitachisoft.jp&gt;)
+      </ul>
+
+    <p>Other changes since previous release (abridged):
+      <ul>
+	<li>cp: -r and -R imply -d (coreutils compat)
+	<li>cp: detect and prevent infinite recursion
+	<li>cp: make it a bit closer to POSIX, but still refuse to open and overwrite symbolic link
+	<li>hdparm: reduce possibility of numeric overflow in -T
+	<li>hdparm: simplify timing measurement
+	<li>wget: -O FILE is allowed to overwrite existing file (compat)
+	<li>wget: allow dots in header field names.
+	<li>telnetd: add -K option to close sessions as soon as child exits.
+	<li>telnetd: don't SIGKILL child when closing the session, kernel will send SIGHUP for us
+	<li>ed: large cleanup, add line editing
+	<li>hush: feeble attempt at making it more NOMMU-friendly
+	<li>hush: fix glob()
+	<li>hush: stop doing manual accounting of open fd's, kernel can do it for us
+	<li>adduser: implement -S and fix uid selection
+	<li>ash: fix prompt expansion (Natanael Copa &lt;natanael.copa at gmail.com&gt;)
+	<li>ash: revert "cat | jobs" fix, it causes more problems than good
+	<li>find: fix -xdev behavior in the presence of two or more nested mount points

+	<li>grep: optimization: stop on first -e match

+	<li>install: 'support' (by ignoring) -v and -b

+	<li>ip: tunnel parameter parsing fix by Jean Wolter &lt;jw5 at os.inf.tu-dresden.de&gt;
+	<li>isrv: use monotonic_sec
+	<li>less: make 'f' key page forward
+	<li>libiproute: add missing break statements
+	<li>load_policy: update (Yuichi Nakamura &lt;ynakam at hitachisoft.jp&gt;)

+	<li>passwd: handle Ctrl-C, restore termios on Ctrl-C
+	<li>passwd: SELinux support by KaiGai Kohei &lt;kaigai at ak.jp.nec.com&gt;
+	<li>ping: make -I ethN work too (-I addr already worked)
+	<li>ps: fix RSS parsing (rss field in /proc/PID/stat is in pages, not bytes)
+	<li>read_line_input: fix it to not do any fancy editing if echoing is disabled
+	<li>run_parts: make it sort executables by name (required by API)
+	<li>runsv: do not use clock_gettime if !MONOTONIC_CLOCK
+	<li>runsvdir: fix "linear wait time" bug
+	<li>sulogin: remove alarm handling, it is redundant there
+	<li>svlogd: compat: svlogd -tt should timestanp stderr too
+	<li>syslogd: bail out if you see null read from Unix socket
+	<li>syslogd: do not need to poll(), we can just block in read()
+	<li>tail: work correctly on /proc files (Kazuo TAKADA &lt;kztakada at sm.sony.co.jp&gt;)
+	<li>tar + gzip/bzip2/etc: support NOMMU machines (by Alex Landau &lt;landau_alex at yahoo.com&gt;)
+	<li>tar: strip leading '/' BEFORE memorizing hardlink's name
+	<li>tftp: fix infinite retry bug
+	<li>umount: support (by ignoring) -i; style fixes
