<li><b>15 July 2003 -- BusyBox 1.0.0-pre1 released</b><p>
<li><b>30 July 2003 -- BusyBox 1.0.0-pre2 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.
The busybox development series has been under construction for
nearly two years now. Which is just entirely too long... So
it is with great pleasure that I announce the imminent release
of a new stable series. Due to the huge number of changes
since the last stable release (and the usual mindless version
number inflation) I am branding this new stable series verison
1.0.x...
<p>
The point of "-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 magic 1.0.0 release (which should happen
later this month)... I plan to release BusyBox 1.0.0-pre2 next
Monday (July 21st), and, if necessary, -pre3 on July 28th.
Hopefully (i.e. unless some horrible catastrophic problem turns
up) the final BusyBox 1.0.0 release should be ready by the end
of July.
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 patches, and they are not in this release
and I have not emailed you explaining why your patch was
rejected, it is safe to say that I have lost your patch. That
happens sometimes. Please do <B>NOT</b> send all your patches,
support questions, etc, directly to Erik. I get hundreds of
emails every day (which is why I end up losing patches
sometimes in the flood)... The busybox mailing list is the
right place to send your patches, support questions, etc.
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.
<p>
I would like to especially thank Vladimir Oleynik (vodz), Glenn
McGrath (bug1), Robert Griebl (sandman), and Manuel Novoa III
(mjn3) for their significant efforts and contributions that
have made this release possible.
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...

As usual you can <a href="downloads">download busybox here</a>.
You don't really need to bother with the
<a href="downloads/Changelog">changelog</a>, as the changes
vs the stable version are way too extensive to easily enumerate.
But you can take a look if you really want too.
<p>Have Fun!
