+ Here goes yet another BusyBox pre-release... Please do not bother to send
+ in patches supplying new features at this time. Only bug-fix patches will
+ be accepted. If you have a cool new feature you would like to see
+ supported, or if you have an amazing new applet you would like to submit,
+ please wait and submit such things later. We really want to get a release
+ out we can all be proud of. We are still aiming to finish off the -pre
+ series in February and move on to the final 1.0.0 release... So if you
+ spot any bugs, now would be an excellent time to send in a fix to the
+ busybox mailing list. It would also be <b>very</b> helpful if people could
+ help review the BusyBox documentation and submit improvements. It would be
+ especially helpful if people could check that the features supported by the
+ various applets match the features listed in the documentation.
- Here goes the next pre-release for the new BusyBox stable
- series. The most obvious thing in this release is a fix for
- a terribly stupid bug in mount that prevented it from working
- properly unless you specified the filesystem type. This
- release also fixes a few compile problems, updates udhcp,
- fixes a silly bug in fdisk, fixes ifup/ifdown to behave like
- the Debian version, updates devfsd, updates the 2.6.x
- modutils support, add a new 'rx' applet, removes the obsolete
- 'loadacm' applet, fixes a few tar bugs, fixes a sed bug, and
- a few other odd fixes.

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

- Here goes the fourth pre-release for the new BusyBox stable
- series. This release includes major rework to sed, lots of
- rework on tar, a new tiny implementation of bunzip2, a new
- devfsd applet, support for 2.6.x kernel modules, updates to
- the ash shell, sha1sum and md5sum have been merged into a
- common applet, the dpkg applets has been cleaned up, and tons
- of random bugs have been fixed. Thanks everyone for all the
- testing, bug reports, and patches! Once again, a big
- thank-you goes to Glenn McGrath (bug1) for stepping in and
- helping get patches merged!
+ <li><b>30 January 2004 -- BusyBox 1.0.0-pre6 released</b><p>
+
+ Here goes the next pre-release for the new BusyBox stable
+ series. This release adds a number of size optimizations,
+ updates udhcp, fixes up 2.6 modutils support, updates ash
+ and the shell command line editing, and the usual pile of
+ bug fixes both large and small. Things appear to be
+ settling down now, so with a bit of luck and some testing
+ perhaps we can finish off the -pre series in February and
+ move on to the final 1.0.0 release... If you see any
+ problems, of have suggestions to make, as always, please
+ feel free to email the busybox mailing list.
