The development branch of busybox is stable enough for wider testing, so - you can now - download, - the first prerelease of 1.1.0. This prerelease includes a lot of - new - functionality: new applets, new features, and extensive rewrites of - several existing applets. This prerelease should be noticeably more - standards - compliant than earlier versions of busybox, although we're - still working out the bugs.
- -A new stable release (BusyBox - 1.01) is now available for download, containing over a hundred - small - fixes that have cropped up since the 1.00 release.
- -- - Bug reports sometimes get lost when posted to the mailing list. The - developers of BusyBox are busy people, and have only so much they can keep - in their brains at a time. In my case, I'm lucky if I can remember my own - name, much less a bug report posted last week... To prevent your bug report - from getting lost, if you find a bug in BusyBox, please use the - shiny new Bug and Patch Tracking System - to post all the gory details. - -
- - The same applies to patches... Regardless of whether your patch - is a bug fix or adds spiffy new features, please post your patch - to the Bug and Patch Tracking System to make certain it is - properly considered. - - -
-
- - When you take a careful look at nearly every embedded Linux device or - software distribution shipping today, you will find a copy of BusyBox. - With countless routers, set top boxes, wireless access points, PDAs, and - who knows what else, the future for Linux and BusyBox on embedded devices - is looking very bright. - -
- - It is therefore with great satisfaction that I declare each and every - device already shipping with BusyBox is now officially out of date. - The highly anticipated release of BusyBox 1.00 has arrived! - -
- - Over three years in development, BusyBox 1.00 represents a tremendous - improvement over the old 0.60.x stable series. Now featuring a Linux - KernelConf based configuration system (as used by the Linux kernel), - Linux 2.6 kernel support, many many new applets, and the development - work and testing of thousands of people from around the world. - -
- - If you are already using BusyBox, you are strongly encouraged to upgrade to - BusyBox 1.00. If you are considering developing an embedded Linux device - or software distribution, you may wish to investigate if using BusyBox is - right for your application. If you need help getting started using - BusyBox, if you wish to donate to help cover expenses, or if you find a bug - and need help reporting it, you are invited to visit the BusyBox FAQ. - -
- - As usual you can download busybox here. - -
Have Fun! - -
