+    <li> <b>15 March 2001 -- BusyBox 0.50 released</b>
+    <br>
+
+             This release adds several new applets including ifconfig, route, pivot_root, stty,
+             and tftp, and also fixes tons of bugs.  Tab completion in the
+             shell is now working very well, and the shell's environment variable
+             expansion was fixed.   Tons of other things were fixed or made
+             smaller.  For a fairly complete overview, see the 
+             <a href="ftp://oss.lineo.com/busybox/Changelog">changelog</a>.
+             <p>
+             lash (the busybox shell) is still with us, fixed up a bit so it
+             now behaves itself quite nicely.  It really is quite usable as
+             long as you don't expect it to provide Bourne shell grammer.
+             Standard things like pipes, redirects, command line editing, and
+             environment variable expansion work great.  But we have found that
+             this shell, while very usable, does not provide an extensible
+             framework for adding in full Bourne shell behavior.  So the first order of
+             business as we begin working on the next BusyBox release will be to merge in the new shell
+             currently in progress at 
+             <a href="http://doolittle.faludi.com/~larry/parser.html">Larry Doolittle's website</a>.

+    <li> <b>27 January 2001 -- BusyBox 0.49 released</b>
+    <br>
+
+             Several new applets, lots of bug fixes, cleanups, and many smaller 
+             things made nicer.  Several cleanups and improvements to the shell.
+             For a list of the most interesting changes 
+             you might want to look at the <a href="ftp://oss.lineo.com/busybox/Changelog">changelog</a>. 
+             <p>
+             Special thanks go out to Matt Kraai and Larry Doolittle for all their
+             work on this release, and for keeping on top of things while I've been 
+             out of town.
+             <p>
+             <em>Special Note</em><br>
+
+             BusyBox 0.49 was supposed to have replaced lash, the BusyBox
+             shell, with a new shell that understands full Bourne shell/Posix shell grammer.
+             Well, that simply didn't happen in time for this release.  A new
+             shell that will eventually replace lash is already under
+             construction.  This new shell is being developed by Larry
+             Doolittle, and could use all of our help.  Please see the work in
+             progress on <a href="http://doolittle.faludi.com/~larry/parser.html">Larry's website</a> 
+             and help out if you can.  This shell will be included in the next 
+             release of BusyBox.

+    <li> <b>13 December 2000 -- BusyBox 0.48 released</b>
+    <br>
+
+             This release fixes lots and lots of bugs.  This has had some very
+             rigorous testing, and looks very, very clean.  The usual tar
+             update of course: tar no longer breaks hardlinks, tar -xzf is
+             optionally supported, and the LRP folks will be pleased to know
+             that 'tar -X' and 'tar --exclude' are both now in.  Applets are
+             now looked up using a binary search making lash (the busybox
+             shell) much faster.  For the new debian-installer (for Debian
+             woody) a .udeb can now be generated.  
+             <p>
+             The curious can get a list of some of the more interesting changes by reading 
+             the <a href="ftp://oss.lineo.com/busybox/Changelog">changelog</a>. 
+             <p>
+             Many thanks go out to the many many people that have contributed to 
+             this release, especially Matt Kraai, Larry Doolittle, and Kent Robotti.
