The usual tar - update of course: tar no longer breaks hardlinks, tar -xzf is - optionally supported, and the LRP folks will be pleased to know - that 'tar -X' and 'tar --exclude' are both now in. Applets are - now looked up using a binary search making lash (the busybox - shell) much faster. For the new debian-installer (for Debian - woody) a .udeb can now be generated. -

    - The curious can get a list of some of the more interesting changes by reading - the changelog. -

    - Many thanks go out to the many many people that have contributed to - this release, especially Matt Kraai, Larry Doolittle, and Kent Robotti. -
