6 <li><b>20 July 2004 -- BusyBox 1.0.0-rc1 released</b><p>
8 Here goes release candidate 1... This fixes all (most?) of the problems
9 that have turned up since -pre10. In particular, loading and unloading of
10 kernel modules with 2.6.x kernels should be working much better.
13 I <b>really</b> want to get BusyBox 1.0.0 released soon and I see no reason
14 real reason why the 1.0.0 release shouldn't happen with things pretty much as is.
16 I <b>really</b> want to get BusyBox 1.0.0 released soon and I see no real
17 reason why the 1.0.0 release shouldn't happen with things pretty much as
18 is. BusyBox is in good shape at the moment, and it works nicely for
19 everything that I'm doing with it. And from the reports I've been getting,
20 it works nicely for what most everyone else is doing with it as well.
21 There will eventually be a 1.0.1 anyway, so we might as well get on with
22 it. No BusyBox is not perfect. No piece of software ever is. And while
23 there is still plenty that can be done to improve things, most of that work
24 is waiting till we can get a solid 1.0.0 release out the door....
27 Please do not bother to send in patches adding cool new features at this
28 time. Only bug-fix patches will be accepted. If you have submitted a
29 bug-fixing patch to the busybox mailing list and no one has emailed you
30 explaining why your patch was rejected, it is safe to say that your patch
31 has been lost or forgotten. That happens sometimes. Please re-submit your
32 bug-fixing patch to the BusyBox mailing list, and be sure to put "[PATCH]"
33 at the beginning of the email subject line!

42 On a less happy note, My 92 year old grandmother (my dad's mom) passed away
43 yesterday (June 19th). The funeral will be Thursday in a little town about
44 2 hours south of my home. I've checked and there is absolutely no way I
45 could be back in time for the funeral if I attend <a
46 href="http://www.linuxsymposium.org/2004/">OLS</a> and give my presentation
49 As such, it is with great reluctance and sadness that I have come
50 to the conclusion I will have to make my appologies and skip OLS
56 <li><b>13 April 2004 -- BusyBox 1.0.0-pre10 released</b><p>
58 Ok, I lied. It turns out that -pre9 will not be the final BusyBox
59 pre-release. With any luck however -pre10 will be, since I <b>really</b>
60 want to get BusyBox 1.0.0 released very soon. As usual, please do not
61 bother to send in patches adding cool new features at this time. Only
62 bug-fix patches will be accepted. It would also be <b>very</b> helpful if
63 people could continue to review the BusyBox documentation and submit

75 <li><b>6 April 2004 -- BusyBox 1.0.0-pre9 released</b><p>
77 Here goes the final BusyBox pre-release... This is your last chance for
78 bug fixes. With luck this will be released as BusyBox 1.0.0 later this
79 week. Please do not bother to send in patches adding cool new features at
80 this time. Only bug-fix patches will be accepted. It would also be
81 <b>very</b> helpful if people could help review the BusyBox documentation
82 and submit improvements. I've spent a lot of time updating the
83 documentation to make it better match reality, but I could really use some
84 assistance in checking that the features supported by the various applets
85 match the features listed in the documentation.
88 I had hoped to get this released a month ago, but
89 <a href="http://codepoet.org/gallery/baby_peter/img_1796">
90 another release on 1 March 2004</a> has kept me busy...

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