+ <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...
