6 <p>The new stable release is
7 <a href="http://www.busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.1.0.tar.bz2">BusyBox
8 1.1.0</a>. It has a number of improvements, including several new applets.
9 (It also has <a href=http://www.busybox.net/lists/busybox/2006-January/017733.html>a few rough spots</a>,
10 but we're trying out a "release early, release often" strategy to see how
11 that works. Expect 1.1.1 sometime in March.)</p>
13 <li><b>31 October 2005 -- 1.1.0-pre1</b>
14 <p>The development branch of busybox is stable enough for wider testing, so
16 <a href="http://www.busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.1.0-pre1.tar.bz2">download</a>,
17 the first prerelease of 1.1.0. This prerelease includes a lot of
18 <a href="http://www.busybox.net/downloads/BusyBox.html">new
19 functionality</a>: new applets, new features, and extensive rewrites of
20 several existing applets. This prerelease should be noticeably more
21 <a href="http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/">standards
22 compliant</a> than earlier versions of busybox, although we're
23 still working out the <a href="http://bugs.busybox.net">bugs</a>.</p>
25 <li><b>16 August 2005 -- 1.01 is out</b>
27 <p>A new stable release (<a href="http://www.busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.01.tar.bz2">BusyBox
28 1.01</a>) is now available for download, containing over a hundred

32 <li><b>13 January 2005 -- Bug and Patch Tracking</b><p>
34 Bug reports sometimes get lost when posted to the mailing list. The
35 developers of BusyBox are busy people, and have only so much they can keep
36 in their brains at a time. In my case, I'm lucky if I can remember my own
37 name, much less a bug report posted last week... To prevent your bug report
38 from getting lost, if you find a bug in BusyBox, please use the
39 <a href="http://bugs.busybox.net/">shiny new Bug and Patch Tracking System</a>
40 to post all the gory details.
44 The same applies to patches... Regardless of whether your patch
45 is a bug fix or adds spiffy new features, please post your patch
46 to the Bug and Patch Tracking System to make certain it is
51 <li><b>13 October 2004 -- BusyBox 1.00 released</b><p>
53 When you take a careful look at nearly every embedded Linux device or
54 software distribution shipping today, you will find a copy of BusyBox.
55 With countless routers, set top boxes, wireless access points, PDAs, and
56 who knows what else, the future for Linux and BusyBox on embedded devices
57 is looking very bright.
61 It is therefore with great satisfaction that I declare each and every
62 device already shipping with BusyBox is now officially out of date.
63 The highly anticipated release of BusyBox 1.00 has arrived!
67 Over three years in development, BusyBox 1.00 represents a tremendous
68 improvement over the old 0.60.x stable series. Now featuring a Linux
69 KernelConf based configuration system (as used by the Linux kernel),
70 Linux 2.6 kernel support, many many new applets, and the development
71 work and testing of thousands of people from around the world.
75 If you are already using BusyBox, you are strongly encouraged to upgrade to
76 BusyBox 1.00. If you are considering developing an embedded Linux device
77 or software distribution, you may wish to investigate if using BusyBox is
78 right for your application. If you need help getting started using
79 BusyBox, if you wish to donate to help cover expenses, or if you find a bug
80 and need help reporting it, you are invited to visit the <a
