+ <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>getty: special handling of '#' and '@' is removed
+ <li>[su]login: sanitize environment if called by non-root

+ (Stefan Hellermann <stefan at the2masters.de>)
+ <li>udhcpc: optionally check whether given IP is really free (by ARP ping)
+ (Jonas Danielsson <jonas.danielsson at axis.com>)
+ <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 <masta at perlgolf.de>)
