<li> <b>15 March 2001 -- BusyBox 0.50 released</b>
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This release adds several new applets including ifconfig, route, pivot_root, stty,
|
|
||||||
and tftp, and also fixes tons of bugs. Tab completion in the
|
|
||||||
shell is now working very well, and the shell's environment variable
|
|
||||||
expansion was fixed. Tons of other things were fixed or made
|
|
||||||
smaller. For a fairly complete overview, see the
|
|
||||||
<a href="ftp://oss.lineo.com/busybox/Changelog">changelog</a>.
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
lash (the busybox shell) is still with us, fixed up a bit so it
|
|
||||||
now behaves itself quite nicely. It really is quite usable as
|
|
||||||
long as you don't expect it to provide Bourne shell grammer.
|
|
||||||
Standard things like pipes, redirects, command line editing, and
|
|
||||||
environment variable expansion work great. But we have found that
|
|
||||||
this shell, while very usable, does not provide an extensible
|
|
||||||
framework for adding in full Bourne shell behavior. So the first order of
|
|
||||||
business as we begin working on the next BusyBox release will be to merge in the new shell
|
|
||||||
currently in progress at
|

<li> <b>27 January 2001 -- BusyBox 0.49 released</b>
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Several new applets, lots of bug fixes, cleanups, and many smaller
|
|
||||||
things made nicer. Several cleanups and improvements to the shell.
|
|
||||||
For a list of the most interesting changes

you might want to look at the <a href="ftp://oss.lineo.com/busybox/Changelog">changelog</a>.

Special thanks go out to Matt Kraai and Larry Doolittle for all their

work on this release, and for keeping on top of things while I've been

out of town.

<em>Special Note</em><br>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
BusyBox 0.49 was supposed to have replaced lash, the BusyBox
|
|
||||||
shell, with a new shell that understands full Bourne shell/Posix shell grammer.
|
|
||||||
Well, that simply didn't happen in time for this release. A new
|
|
||||||
shell that will eventually replace lash is already under
|
|
||||||
construction. This new shell is being developed by Larry
|
|
||||||
Doolittle, and could use all of our help. Please see the work in
|
|
||||||
progress on <a href="http://doolittle.faludi.com/~larry/parser.html">Larry's website</a>
|
|
||||||
and help out if you can. This shell will be included in the next
|
|
||||||
release of BusyBox.

<li> <b>13 December 2000 -- BusyBox 0.48 released</b>
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This release fixes lots and lots of bugs. This has had some very
|
|
||||||
rigorous testing, and looks very, very clean. 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 <a href="ftp://oss.lineo.com/busybox/Changelog">changelog</a>.

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