<li><b>26 October 2002 -- BusyBox 0.60.5 released</b><p>
I am very pleased to announce that the BusyBox 0.60.5 (stable)
is now available for download. This is a bugfix release for
the stable series to address all the problems that have turned
up since the last release. Unfortunately, the previous release
had a few nasty bugs (i.e. init could deadlock, gunzip -c tried
to delete source files, cp -a wouldn't copy symlinks, and init
was not always providing controlling ttys when it should have).
I know I said that the previous release would be the end of the
0.60.x series. Well, it turns out I'm a liar. But this time I
mean it (just like last time ;-). This will be the last
release for the 0.60.x series -- all further development work
will be done for the development busybox tree. Expect the development
version to have its first real release very very soon now...
<li><b>15 July 2003 -- BusyBox 1.0.0-pre1 released</b><p>
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 <a href="downloads/Changelog.full">changelog</a> has all
the details. As usual you can <a href="downloads">download busybox here</a>.
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.
<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.
<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.
<p>
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!

<li><b>18 September 2002 -- BusyBox 0.60.4 released</b><p>
I am very pleased to announce that the BusyBox 0.60.4
(stable) is now available for download. This is primarily
a bugfix release for the stable series to address all
the problems that have turned up since the last
release. This will be the last release for the 0.60.x series.
I mean it this time -- all further development work will be done
on the development busybox tree, which is quite solid now and
should soon be getting its first real release.

<li><b>27 April 2002 -- BusyBox 0.60.3 released</b><p>
I am very pleased to announce that the BusyBox 0.60.3 (stable) is
now available for download. This is primarily a bugfix release
for the stable series. A number of problems have turned up since
the last release, and this should address most of those problems.
This should be the last release for the 0.60.x series. The
development busybox tree has been progressing nicely, and will
hopefully be ready to become the next stable release.
