<li><b>30 July 2003 -- BusyBox 1.0.0-pre2 released</b><p>
<li><b>11 Sept 2003 -- BusyBox 1.0.0-pre3 released</b><p>
Here goes another pre release for the new BusyBox stable
series. The last prerelease (pre1) was given quite a lot of
testing (thanks everyone!) which has helped turn up a number of
bugs, and these problems have now been fixed.
Here goes the third pre-release for the new BusyBox stable
series. The last prerelease has help up quite well under
testing, but a number of problems have turned up as the number
of people using it has increased. Thanks everyone for all
the testing, bug reports, and patches!
<p>
Highlights of -pre2 include updating the 'ash' shell to sync up
with the Debian 'dash' shell, a new 'hdparm' applet was added,
init again supports pivot_root, The 'reboot' 'halt' and
'poweroff' applets can now be used without using busybox init.
an ifconfig buffer overflow was fixed, losetup now allows
read-write loop devices, uClinux daemon support was added, the
'watchdog', 'fdisk', and 'kill' applets were rewritten, there were
tons of doc updates, and there were many other bugs fixed.
<p>
If you have submitted a patch and it is not included in this
release and Erik has not emailed you explaining why your patch
was rejected, it is safe to say that he has lost your patch.
That happens sometimes. Please re-submit your patch to the
BusyBox mailing list.

mailing list!

The point of the "-preX" versions is to get a larger group of
people and vendors testing, so any problems that turn up can be
fixed prior to the final 1.0.0 release. The main feature that
is still still on the TODO list before the final BusyBox 1.0.0
release is adding module support for the new 2.6.x kernels. If
necessary, a -pre3 BusyBox release will happen on August 6th.
Hopefully (i.e. unless some horrible catastrophic problem
turns up) the final BusyBox 1.0.0 release will be ready by
then...
fixed prior to the final 1.0.0 release. The main feature
(besides additional testing) that is still still on the TODO
list before the final BusyBox 1.0.0 release is sorting out the
modutils issues. For the new 2.6.x kernels, we already have
patches adding insmod and rmmod support and those need to be
integrated. For 2.4.x kernels, for which busybox only supports
a limited number of architectures, we may want to invest a bit
more work before we cut 1.0.0. Or we may just leave 2.4.x
module loading alone.
<p>
I had hoped this release would be out a month ago. And of
course, it wasn't since Erik became busy getting a release of
<a href="http://www.uclibc.org/">uClibc</a>
out the door. Many thanks to Glenn McGrath (bug1) for
stepping in and helping get a bunch of patches merged! I am
not even going to state a date for releasing BusyBox 1.0.0
-pre4 (or the final 1.0.0). We're aiming for late September...
But if this release proves as to be exceptionally stable (or
exceptionally unstable!) then next release may be very soon
indeed.
