5 <li><b>31 July 2006 -- BusyBox 1.2.1 (stable)</b>
6 <p>Since nobody seems to have objected too loudly over the weekend, I
7 might as well point you all at
8 <a href="http://busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.2.1.tar.bz2">Busybox
9 1.2.1</a>, a bugfix-only release with no new features.</p>
10
11 <p>It has three shell fixes (two to lash: going "var=value" without
12 saying "export" should now work, plus a missing null pointer check, and
13 one to ash when redirecting output to a file that fills up.) Fix three
14 embarassing thinkos in the new dmesg command. Two build tweaks
15 (dependencies for the compressed usage messages and running make in the
16 libbb subdirectory). One fix to tar so it can extract git-generated
17 tarballs (rather than barfing on the pax extensions). And a partridge
18 in a pear... Ahem.</p>
19
20 <p>But wait, there's more! A passwd changing fix so an empty
21 gecos field doesn't trigger a false objection that the new passwd contains
22 the gecos field. Make all our setuid() and setgid() calls check the return
23 value in case somebody's using per-process resource limits that prevent
24 a user from having too many processes (and thus prevent a process from
25 switching away from root, in which case the process will now _die_ rather
26 than continue with root privileges). A fix to adduser to make sure that
27 /etc/group gets updated. And a fix to modprobe to look for modules.conf
28 in the right place on 2.6 kernels.</p>
