5 <li><b>22 March 2006 -- BusyBox 1.1.1</b>
6 <p>The new maintainer is Rob Landley, and the new release is <a href="http://busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.1.1.tar.bz2">BusyBox 1.1.1</a>. Expect a "what's new" document in a few days. (Also, Erik and I have have another announcement pending...)</p>
8 <li><b>11 January 2006 -- 1.1.0 is out</b>
9 <p>The new stable release is
10 <a href="http://www.busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.1.0.tar.bz2">BusyBox
11 1.1.0</a>. It has a number of improvements, including several new applets.
12 (It also has <a href=http://www.busybox.net/lists/busybox/2006-January/017733.html>a few rough spots</a>,
13 but we're trying out a "release early, release often" strategy to see how
14 that works. Expect 1.1.1 sometime in March.)</p>
16 <li><b>31 October 2005 -- 1.1.0-pre1</b>
17 <p>The development branch of busybox is stable enough for wider testing, so
19 <a href="http://www.busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.1.0-pre1.tar.bz2">download</a>,
20 the first prerelease of 1.1.0. This prerelease includes a lot of
21 <a href="http://www.busybox.net/downloads/BusyBox.html">new
22 functionality</a>: new applets, new features, and extensive rewrites of
23 several existing applets. This prerelease should be noticeably more
24 <a href="http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/">standards
25 compliant</a> than earlier versions of busybox, although we're
26 still working out the <a href="http://bugs.busybox.net">bugs</a>.</p>
28 <li><b>16 August 2005 -- 1.01 is out</b>
30 <p>A new stable release (<a href="http://www.busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.01.tar.bz2">BusyBox
31 1.01</a>) is now available for download, containing over a hundred
32 <a href="http://www.busybox.net/lists/busybox/2005-August/015424.html">small
33 fixes</a> that have cropped up since the 1.00 release.</p>
35 <li><b>13 January 2005 -- Bug and Patch Tracking</b><p>
37 Bug reports sometimes get lost when posted to the mailing list. The
38 developers of BusyBox are busy people, and have only so much they can keep
39 in their brains at a time. In my case, I'm lucky if I can remember my own
40 name, much less a bug report posted last week... To prevent your bug report
41 from getting lost, if you find a bug in BusyBox, please use the
42 <a href="http://bugs.busybox.net/">shiny new Bug and Patch Tracking System</a>
43 to post all the gory details.
47 The same applies to patches... Regardless of whether your patch
48 is a bug fix or adds spiffy new features, please post your patch
49 to the Bug and Patch Tracking System to make certain it is
54 <li><b>13 October 2004 -- BusyBox 1.00 released</b><p>
56 When you take a careful look at nearly every embedded Linux device or
57 software distribution shipping today, you will find a copy of BusyBox.
58 With countless routers, set top boxes, wireless access points, PDAs, and
59 who knows what else, the future for Linux and BusyBox on embedded devices
60 is looking very bright.
64 It is therefore with great satisfaction that I declare each and every
65 device already shipping with BusyBox is now officially out of date.
66 The highly anticipated release of BusyBox 1.00 has arrived!
70 Over three years in development, BusyBox 1.00 represents a tremendous
71 improvement over the old 0.60.x stable series. Now featuring a Linux
72 KernelConf based configuration system (as used by the Linux kernel),
73 Linux 2.6 kernel support, many many new applets, and the development
74 work and testing of thousands of people from around the world.
78 If you are already using BusyBox, you are strongly encouraged to upgrade to
79 BusyBox 1.00. If you are considering developing an embedded Linux device
80 or software distribution, you may wish to investigate if using BusyBox is
81 right for your application. If you need help getting started using
82 BusyBox, if you wish to donate to help cover expenses, or if you find a bug
83 and need help reporting it, you are invited to visit the <a
