A POSIX build with all applets that need syslog disabled *except* crond may fail. Revert to using 'select FEATURE_SYSLOG' in crond and exclude the unused syslog code on Windows. If crond is unable to run sendmail report this in the error message. Update all default Windows configurations.

And also added the options to support WNOHANG as well as an unused status in mingw_wait3 * Check current uid when running crond * Only show tail for mailto jobs * Use system drive for cron * crond: add missing feature check * crond: use spawn_detach for background operation 2026-03-21T15:17:04+00:00 Ron Yorston rmy@pobox.com 2026-03-21T15:17:04+00:00 urn:sha1:8d97f41766c905bf527ee1b08d021fc4ae9d5af3 Upstream BusyBox uses the '-fdata-sections' compiler flag. On Windows this has the unfortunate side effect that static variables are placed in the .data section, thus increasing the size of the binary. Add a configuration option, STATICS_IN_BSS, to force statics into .bss on Windows, saving 2-5KB for most binaries. It has no effect on POSIX builds, where statics are always placed in .bss. 2026-03-11T10:14:58+00:00 Ron Yorston rmy@pobox.com 2026-03-11T10:14:58+00:00 urn:sha1:0b0ab67527a62f567a88fd674fbe0c2b2499c87e 2026-02-10T15:12:22+00:00 Ron Yorston rmy@pobox.com 2026-02-10T13:56:57+00:00 urn:sha1:7e0c303a8804608e3c11151655d270a63bfffcfa 2026-01-22T11:22:36+00:00 Ron Yorston rmy@pobox.com 2026-01-22T11:22:36+00:00 urn:sha1:f32c1c0bc7c35fe6340dbf6481900b02b40d8d2e 2026-01-02T13:07:13+00:00 mbartlett21 mjmouse9999@gmail.com 2025-12-25T12:18:18+00:00 urn:sha1:3eb7c8944011a472477ee39c57c8f2fd92dc7aa7 Join joins two sorted input files on matching fields.

This is a 32-bit build with the UTF-8 manifest which also runs on legacy systems. - A new config option, FEATURE_FAIL_IF_UTF8_MANIFEST_UNSUPPORTED, allows the check for legacy systems to be skipped. - An incompatibility with Windows XP in writeCon_utf8() has been fixed.

Allow these to be selected instead of ICO format at build time. Use the PNG icons by default in the Unicode and aarch64 builds. Saves 26KB in those cases.
