83 | Several new applets, lots of bug fixes, cleanups, and many smaller | ||

94 | BusyBox 0.49 was supposed to have replaced lash, the BusyBox | ||
95 | shell, with a new shell that understands full Bourne shell/Posix shell grammer. | ||
96 | Well, that simply didn't happen in time for this release. A new | ||
97 | shell that will eventually replace lash is already under | ||
98 | construction. This new shell is being developed by Larry | ||
99 | Doolittle, and could use all of our help. Please see the work in | ||
100 | progress on <a href="http://doolittle.faludi.com/~larry/parser.html">Larry's website</a> | ||
101 | and help out if you can. This shell will be included in the next | ||
102 | release of BusyBox. | ||
