6 <li><b>6 April 2004 -- BusyBox 1.0.0-pre9 released</b><p>
8 Here goes the final BusyBox pre-release... This is your last chance for
9 bug fixes. With luck this will be released as BusyBox 1.0.0 later this
10 week. Please do not bother to send in patches adding cool new features at
11 this time. Only bug-fix patches will be accepted. It would also be
12 <b>very</b> helpful if people could help review the BusyBox documentation
13 and submit improvements. I've spent a lot of time updating the
14 documentation to make it better match reality, but I could really use some
15 assistance in checking that the features supported by the various applets
16 match the features listed in the documentation.
19 I had hoped to get this released a month ago, but

32 <li><b>23 February 2004 -- BusyBox 1.0.0-pre8 released</b><p>
34 Here goes yet another BusyBox pre-release... Please do not bother to send
35 in patches supplying new features at this time. Only bug-fix patches will
36 be accepted. If you have a cool new feature you would like to see
37 supported, or if you have an amazing new applet you would like to submit,
38 please wait and submit such things later. We really want to get a release
39 out we can all be proud of. We are still aiming to finish off the -pre
40 series in February and move on to the final 1.0.0 release... So if you
41 spot any bugs, now would be an excellent time to send in a fix to the
42 busybox mailing list. It would also be <b>very</b> helpful if people could
43 help review the BusyBox documentation and submit improvements. It would be
44 especially helpful if people could check that the features supported by the
45 various applets match the features listed in the documentation.

57 <li><b>4 February 2004 -- BusyBox 1.0.0-pre7 released</b><p>
59 There was a bug in -pre6 that broke argument parsing for a
60 number of applets, since a variable was not being zeroed out
61 properly. This release is primarily intended to fix that one
62 problem. In addition, this release fixes several other
63 problems, including a rewrite by mjn3 of the code for parsing
64 the busybox.conf file used for suid handling, some shell updates
65 from vodz, and a scattering of other small fixes. We are still
66 aiming to finish off the -pre series in February and move on to
67 the final 1.0.0 release... If you see any problems, of have
68 suggestions to make, as always, please feel free to email the

82 <li><b>30 January 2004 -- BusyBox 1.0.0-pre6 released</b><p>
84 Here goes the next pre-release for the new BusyBox stable
85 series. This release adds a number of size optimizations,
86 updates udhcp, fixes up 2.6 modutils support, updates ash
87 and the shell command line editing, and the usual pile of
88 bug fixes both large and small. Things appear to be
89 settling down now, so with a bit of luck and some testing
90 perhaps we can finish off the -pre series in February and
91 move on to the final 1.0.0 release... If you see any
92 problems, of have suggestions to make, as always, please
93 feel free to email the busybox mailing list.
97 People who rely on the <a href= "downloads/snapshots/">daily BusyBox snapshots</a>
98 should be aware that snapshots of the old busybox 0.60.x
99 series are no longer available. Daily snapshots are now
100 only available for the BusyBox 1.0.0 series and now use
101 the naming scheme "busybox-<date>.tar.bz2". Please
102 adjust any build scripts using the old naming scheme accordingly.

115 <li><b>23 December 2003 -- BusyBox 1.0.0-pre5 released</b><p>
117 Here goes the next pre-release for the new BusyBox stable
118 series. The most obvious thing in this release is a fix for
119 a terribly stupid bug in mount that prevented it from working
120 properly unless you specified the filesystem type. This
121 release also fixes a few compile problems, updates udhcp,
122 fixes a silly bug in fdisk, fixes ifup/ifdown to behave like
123 the Debian version, updates devfsd, updates the 2.6.x
124 modutils support, add a new 'rx' applet, removes the obsolete
125 'loadacm' applet, fixes a few tar bugs, fixes a sed bug, and
126 a few other odd fixes.

131 always, please feel free to send an email to the busybox
