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

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

56 <li><b>30 January 2004 -- BusyBox 1.0.0-pre6 released</b><p>
58 Here goes the next pre-release for the new BusyBox stable
59 series. This release adds a number of size optimizations,
60 updates udhcp, fixes up 2.6 modutils support, updates ash
61 and the shell command line editing, and the usual pile of
62 bug fixes both large and small. Things appear to be
63 settling down now, so with a bit of luck and some testing
64 perhaps we can finish off the -pre series in February and
65 move on to the final 1.0.0 release... If you see any
66 problems, of have suggestions to make, as always, please
67 feel free to email the busybox mailing list.
71 People who rely on the <a href= "downloads/snapshots/">daily BusyBox snapshots</a>
72 should be aware that snapshots of the old busybox 0.60.x
73 series are no longer available. Daily snapshots are now
74 only available for the BusyBox 1.0.0 series and now use
75 the naming scheme "busybox-<date>.tar.bz2". Please
76 adjust any build scripts using the old naming scheme accordingly.

89 <li><b>23 December 2003 -- BusyBox 1.0.0-pre5 released</b><p>
91 Here goes the next pre-release for the new BusyBox stable
92 series. The most obvious thing in this release is a fix for
93 a terribly stupid bug in mount that prevented it from working
94 properly unless you specified the filesystem type. This
95 release also fixes a few compile problems, updates udhcp,
96 fixes a silly bug in fdisk, fixes ifup/ifdown to behave like
97 the Debian version, updates devfsd, updates the 2.6.x
98 modutils support, add a new 'rx' applet, removes the obsolete
99 'loadacm' applet, fixes a few tar bugs, fixes a sed bug, and
100 a few other odd fixes.
