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55 device already shipping with BusyBox is now officially out of date.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