+    <p>lash is deleted from this release. hush can be configured down to almost
+       the same size, but it is significantly less buggy. It even works
+       on NOMMU machines (interactive mode and backticks are not working on NOMMU,
+       though). "lash" applet is still available, but it runs hush.
+
+    <p>init has some changes in this release, please report if it causes
+       problems for you.
+
+    <p>Changes since previous release:
+      <ul>
+        <li>Build system improvements
+        <li>Testsuite additions
+        <li>Stack size reductions, code size reductions, data/bss reductions
+        <li>An option to prefer IPv4 address if host has both
+        <li>New applets: hd, sestatus
+        <li>Removed applets: lash
+        <li>hush: fixed a few bugs, wired up echo and test to be builtins
+        <li>init: simplify forking of children

+        <li>[su]login: sanitize environment if called by non-root
+        <li>udhcpc: support "bad" servers which send oversized packets
+          (Cristian Ionescu-Idbohrn &lt;cristian.ionescu-idbohrn at axis.com&gt;)
+        <li>udhcpc: -O option allows to specify which options to ask tor
+          (Stefan Hellermann &lt;stefan at the2masters.de&gt;)
+        <li>udhcpc: optionally check whether given IP is really free (by ARP ping)
+          (Jonas Danielsson &lt;jonas.danielsson at axis.com&gt;)
+        <li>vi: now handles files with unlimited line length
+        <li>vi: speedup for huge line lengths
+        <li>vi: Del key works
+        <li>sed: support GNUism '\t'
+        <li>cp/mv/install: optionally use bigger buffer for bulk copying
+        <li>line editing: don't eat stack like crazy
+        <li>passwd: follows symlinked /etc/passwd
+        <li>renice: accepts priority with +N too
+        <li>netstat: wide output mode
+        <li>nameif: extended matching (Nico Erfurth &lt;masta at perlgolf.de&gt;)
+        <li>test: become NOFORK applet
+        <li>find: -iname (Alexander Griesser &lt;alexander.griesser at lkh-vil.or.at&gt;)
+        <li>df: -i option (show inode info) (Pascal Bellard &lt;pascal.bellard at ads-lu.com&gt;)
