 BusyBox has been written with size-optimization and limited resources in mind.

+    <li> <b>10 April 2001 -- BusyBox 0.51 released</b>
+    <br>
+
+	     BusyBox 0.51 (the "rock-solid release") is now out there.  This
+	     release adds only 2 new applets: env and vi.  The vi applet,
+	     contributed by Sterling Huxley, is very functional, and is only
+	     22k.  This release fixes 3 critical bugs in the 0.50 release.
+	     There were 2 potential segfaults in lash (the busybox shell) in
+	     the 0.50 release which are now fixed.  Another critical bug in
+	     0.50 which is now fixed: syslogd from 0.50 could potentially
+	     deadlock the init process and thereby break your entire system.
+	     <p>
+
+	     There are a number of improvements in this release as well.  For
+	     one thing, the wget applet is greatly improved.  Dmitry Zakharov
+	     added FTP support, and Laurence Anderson make wget fully RFC
+	     compliant for HTTP 1.1.  The mechanism for including utility
+	     functions in previous releases was clumsy and error prone.  Now
+	     all utility functions are part of a new libbb library, which makes
+	     maintaining utility functions much simpler.  And BusyBox now
+	     compiles on itanium systems (thanks to the Debian itanium porters
+	     for letting me use their system!).
+	     <p>
+	     You can read the 
+	     <a href="ftp://oss.lineo.com/busybox/Changelog">changelog</a> for
+	     complete details.  BusyBox 0.51 can be downloaded from 
+	     <a href="ftp://oss.lineo.com/busybox">ftp://oss.lineo.com/busybox</a>.
+	     <p>Have Fun!
