|
||||
(<a href=https://github.com/landley/toybox/releases/tag/0.7.4>git commit</a>)
|
||||
is out. No new commands this time, but
|
||||
<b>chrt</b> and <b>dmesg</b> got promoted out of pending.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><u>New features</u>:
|
||||
Rob rewrote paste, which should work much better now, and added grep
|
||||
-M and -S to match and skip wildcards respectively (useful with -r).
|
||||
Elliott's updated dmesg has -T and --color. The file
|
||||
command can recognize gzip now, uptime grew -s, date grew %N, env knows - as a first argument
|
||||
means -i (posix!) and grew -0, ls defaults to -b
|
||||
instead of -q now when there's a tty, and ls has a new -ll option (with
|
||||
--full-time as a compatibility synonym) showing nanoseconds and (for some
|
||||
reason) timezone. (Why do individual files have timezones?) Elliott added
|
||||
"uudecode -o -" support. Illya Kuzmich taught head -v and -q. The cpio
|
||||
code no longer adds the "TRAILER!!!" entry by default (initramfs extractor
|
||||
doesn't care) without which you can concatenate cpio archives with "cat".
|
||||
(Use the new --trailer option if you want the legacy behavior.)
|
||||
In pending, fdisk compiles now and tar understands bzip2.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><u>Build</u>:
|
||||
The "make install_airlock" target now symlinks bc from the host because
|
||||
the kernel <a href=https://landley.net/notes-2013.html#28-03-2013>inexplicably</a>
|
||||
needs that to build. This was motivated by
|
||||
<a href=https://github.com/landley/mkroot>mkroot</a>, which builds under
|
||||
a toybox airlock directory.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Lots of work on the test suite, mostly from the Android guys who are now
|
||||
running it under Android. This fixed several existing tests that didn't
|
||||
pass, made more tests run on a toybox-only system, and so on. The test suite
|
||||
infrastructure now has a second testing function,
|
||||
"testcmd", which supplies the command name being tested (bypassing
|
||||
shell builtins).</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Various android build and config fixes, getting closer to being able
|
||||
to let android someday use scripts/make.sh instead of generated/* snapshots.
|
||||
Also more work into building under android's NDK; not quite there yet
|
||||
but much closer.
|
||||
Use nproc in scripts/make.sh detect available processors (so you can control the SMP level with taskset).
|
||||
Removed the old uClibc compatibility glue, it's been 5 years since their
|
||||
<a href=http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2016-December/180102.html>last release</a>.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The new config option TOYBOX_PEDANTIC_ARGS checks arguments when there
|
||||
are no arguments, so things like "uptime" no longer silently ignore arguments
|
||||
you pass but instead refuse to run.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><u>Docs</u>:
|
||||
The FAQ now has more than one entry. Commands no longer output the full
|
||||
help text for argument errors but instead just say "See %s --help" with the
|
||||
command name (in addition to the actual error message).
|
||||
Elliott did a big period-ectomy on all the --help text, and
|
||||
we cleaned up some tab/space inconsistency. The
|
||||
non-html help -a output now has separators with the command name.
|
||||
The top/iotop and pkill/pgrep help text now describe a lot more of what
|
||||
the commands can do. Twitter's code of conduct page went down so we
|
||||
mirrored the text locally.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><u>Bugfixes</u>:
|
||||
Fixed a race condition in ps/top where a process that exited right as we
|
||||
read its data returned a different error value than we were expecting (which
|
||||
was causing long-running top instances to occasionally exit),
|
||||
mount now gives an error if it can't autodetect the filesystem
|
||||
type, ps no longer queries the terminal size when output isn't to a tty
|
||||
(so "ps -A | cat" doesn't vary), date's chkmktime() was replaced with
|
||||
simple range checks for fields (to avoid false positives from things like
|
||||
timezones and daylight savings time), removed %s from date's help (we
|
||||
didn't implement it, we have @seconds[.nanoseconds] instead), fixed
|
||||
zcat's buffer flush logic (which was always failing on files larger
|
||||
than 32k), and factor now detects requests for numbers >64 bits and fails
|
||||
loudly instead of producing incorrect answers.
|
||||
Elliott fixed touch -a/-m (they were backwards), and allowed ':' in
|
||||
setprop's property names. Grep now exits with 2 for errors (so -q can
|
||||
distinguish "didn't find" from "didn't work"), doesn't stop on symlinks
|
||||
that point nowhere (there was an error_exit() that should just be a warning),
|
||||
and provides error messages for files we could open but not read.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><u>Library</u>:
|
||||
New library functions: strend() complements strstart(), minof()/maxof()
|
||||
are min/max macros that evalute arguments once and autodetect type (why
|
||||
isn't this in libc?), xmmap() checks MAP_FAILED (which is not NULL).</p>
