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> | ||
