This email is to inform you about the release of version '1.2.0' of
'BusyBox' through freshmeat.net. All URLs and other useful information can
be found at

The changes in this release are as follows:
This release is a new stabilization of the -devel branch. Options were
added to store applet usage messages in compressed form, to disable
compiler optimizations (easier debugging), and to have long options
in several applets. New applets include catv (show nonprinting
characters, like 'cat -v'), cksum (crc32 checksum), diff, setlogcons
(redirects the kernel output to console N), ed (original Unix text
editor), and taskset (retrieve/set a process's CPU affinity on
Linux). Command execution is supported in mdev at device addition or
removal.

Project description:
BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a
single small executable. It provides minimalist replacements for most
of the utilities you usually find in GNU fileutils, shellutils, etc.
The utilities in BusyBox generally have fewer options than their
full-featured GNU cousins; however, the options that are included
provide the expected functionality and behave very much like their
GNU counterparts. BusyBox provides a fairly complete POSIX
environment for any small or embedded system.
