- <p>This release includes only trivial fixes accumulated since 1.4.0.
+ <li>
+ <p>We want to thank the following companies which are providing support for the BusyBox project:

+ <li>AOE media, a <a href="http://www.aoemedia.com/typo3-development.html">
+ TYPO3 development agency</a> contributes financially.</li>
+ <li><a href="http://www.analog.com/en/">Analog Devices, Inc.</a> provided

- (<a href=http://busybox.net/downloads/fixes-1.4.0/>patches</a>)</p>
-
- <p>Since this is a x.x.0 release, it probably is a bit less "stable"
- than usual.</p>
- <p>Changes since previous release:
- <ul>
- <li>e2fsprogs are mostly removed from busybox. Some smaller parts remain,
- the rest of it sits disabled in e2fsprogs/old_e2fsprogs/*, because
- it's too bloated. Really. I'm afraid it's about the only way we can
- ever get e2fsprogs cleaned up.
- <li>less: many improvements. Now can display binary files
- (although I expect it to have trouble with displays where 8bit chars
- don't have 1-to-1 char/glyph relationship). Regexp search is not buggy
- anymore. Less does not read entire input up-front. Reads input
- as it appears (yay!). Works rather nice as man pager. I recommend it
- for general use now.
- <li>IPv6: generic support is in place, many networking applets are
- upgraded to be IPv6 capable. Probably some work remains, but it is
- already much better than what we had previously.
- <li>arp: new applet (thanks to Eric Spakman).
- <li>fakeidentd: non-forking standalone server part was taking ~90%
- of the applet. Factored it out (in fact, rewrote it).
- <li>syslogd: mostly rewritten.
- <li>decompress_unzip, gzip: sanitized a bit.
- <li>sed: better hadling of NULs
- <li>httpd: stop adding our own "Content-type:" to CGI output
- <li>chown: user.grp works again.
- <li>minor bugfixes to: passwd, date, tftp, start_stop_daemon, tar,
- ps, ifupdown, time, su, stty, awk, ping[6], sort,...
- </ul>

- <p><a href=http://busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.3.0.tar.bz2>BusyBox 1.3.0</a>.
- (<a href=http://busybox.net/downloads/fixes-1.3.0/>patches</a>)</p>
-
- <p>This release has CONFIG_DESKTOP option which enables features
- needed for busybox usage on desktop machine. For example, find, chmod
- and chown get several less frequently used options, od is significantly
- bigger but matches GNU coreutils, etc. Intended to eventually make
- busybox a viable alternative for "standard" utilities for slightly
- adventurous desktop users.
- <p>Changes since previous release:
- <ul>
- <li>find: taking many more of standard options
- <li>ps: POSIX-compliant -o implemented
- <li>cp: added -s, -l
- <li>grep: added -r, fixed -h
- <li>watch: make it exec child like standard one does (was totally
- incompatible)
- <li>tar: fix limitations which were preventing bbox tar usage
- on big directories: long names and linknames, pax headers
- (Linux kernel tarballs have that). Fixed a number of obscure bugs.
- Raised max file limit (now 64Gb). Security fixes (/../ attacks).
- <li>httpd: added -i (inetd), -f (foreground), support for
- directory indexer CGI (example is included), bugfixes.
- <li>telnetd: fixed/improved IPv6 support, inetd+standalone support,
- other fixes. Useful IPv6 stuff factored out into libbb.
- <li>runit/*: new applets adapted from http://smarden.sunsite.dk/runit/
- (these are my personal favorite small-and-beautiful toys)
- <li>minor bugfixes to: login, dd, mount, umount, chmod, chown, ln, udhcp,
- fdisk, ifconfig, sort, tee, mkswap, wget, insmod.
- </ul>
- <p>Note that GnuPG key used to sign this release is different.
- 1.2.2.1 is also signed post-factum now. Sorry for the mess.

- <p><a href=http://busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.2.2.1.tar.bz2>BusyBox 1.2.2.1</a>.</p>
- <p>Added compile-time warning that static linking against glibc
- produces buggy executables.
- </li>
-
- <li><b>24 October, 2006 -- BusyBox 1.2.2 (stable)</b>
- <p>It's a bit overdue, but
- <a href=http://busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.2.2.tar.bz2>here is
- BusyBox 1.2.2</a>.</p>
-
- <p>This release has dozens of fixes backported from the ongoing development
- branch. There are a couple of bugfixes to sed, two fixes to documentation
- generation (BusyBox.html shouldn't have USE() macros in it anymore), fix
- umount to report the right errno on failure and to umount block devices by
- name with newer kernels, fix mount to handle symlinks properly, make mdev
- delete device nodes when called for hotplug remove, fix a segfault
- in traceroute, a minor portability fix to md5sum option parsing, a build
- fix for httpd with old gccs, an options parsing tweak to hdparm, make test
- fail gracefully when getgroups() returns -1, fix a race condition in
- modprobe when two instances run at once (hotplug does this), make "tar xf
- foo.tar dir/dir" extract all subdirectories, make our getty initialize the
- terminal more like mingetty, an selinux build fix, an endianness fix in
- ping6, fix for zcip defending addresses, clean up some global variables in
- gzip to save memory, fix sulogin -tNNN, a help text tweak, several warning
- fixes and build fixes, fixup dnsd a bit, and a partridge in a pear tree.</p>
-
- <p>As <a href=http://lwn.net/Articles/202106/>Linux Weekly News noted</a>,
- this is my (Rob's) last release of BusyBox. The new maintainer is Denis
- Vlasenko, I'm off to do <a href=http://landley.net/code>other things</a>.

- <li><b>29 September, 2006 -- New license email address.</b>
- <p>The email address gpl@busybox.net is now the recommended way to contact
- the Software Freedom Law Center to report BusyBox license violations.</p>
-
- <li><b>31 July 2006 -- BusyBox 1.2.1 (stable)</b>
- <p>Since nobody seems to have objected too loudly over the weekend, I
- might as well point you all at
- <a href="http://busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.2.1.tar.bz2">Busybox
- 1.2.1</a>, a bugfix-only release with no new features.</p>
-
- <p>It has three shell fixes (two to lash: going "var=value" without
- saying "export" should now work, plus a missing null pointer check, and
- one to ash when redirecting output to a file that fills up.) Fix three
- embarassing thinkos in the new dmesg command. Two build tweaks
- (dependencies for the compressed usage messages and running make in the
- libbb subdirectory). One fix to tar so it can extract git-generated
- tarballs (rather than barfing on the pax extensions). And a partridge
- in a pear... Ahem.</p>
-
- <p>But wait, there's more! A passwd changing fix so an empty
- gecos field doesn't trigger a false objection that the new passwd contains
- the gecos field. Make all our setuid() and setgid() calls check the return
- value in case somebody's using per-process resource limits that prevent
- a user from having too many processes (and thus prevent a process from
- switching away from root, in which case the process will now _die_ rather
- than continue with root privileges). A fix to adduser to make sure that
- /etc/group gets updated. And a fix to modprobe to look for modules.conf
- in the right place on 2.6 kernels.</p>
-
- <li><b>30 June 2006 -- BusyBox 1.2.0</b>
- <p>The -devel branch has been stabilized and the result is
- <a href="http://busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.2.0.tar.bz2">Busybox
- 1.2.0</a>. Lots of stuff changed, I need to work up a decent changelog
- over the weekend.</p>
-
- <p>I'm still experimenting with how long is best for the development
- cycle, and since we've got some largeish projects queued up I'm going to
- try a longer one. Expect 1.3.0 in December. (Expect 1.2.1 any time
- we fix enough bugs. :)</p>
-
- <p>Update: Here are <a href="http://busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.2.0.fixes.patch">the first few bug fixes</a> that will go into 1.2.1.</p>
-
- <li><b>17 May 2006 -- BusyBox 1.1.3 (stable)</b>
- <p><a href="http://busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.1.3.tar.bz2">BusyBox
- 1.1.3</a> is another bugfix release. It makes passwd use salt, fixes a
- memory freeing bug in ls, fixes "build all sources at once" mode, makes
- mount -a not abort on the first failure, fixes msh so ctrl-c doesn't kill
- background processes, makes patch work with patch hunks that don't have a
- timestamp, make less's text search a lot more robust (the old one could
- segfault), and fixes readlink -f when built against uClibc.</p>
-
- <p>Expect 1.2.0 sometime next month, which won't be a bugfix release.</p>
-
- <li><b>10 April 2006 -- BusyBox 1.1.2 (stable)</b>
- <p>You can now download <a href="http://busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.1.2.tar.bz2">BusyBox 1.1.2</a>, a bug fix release consisting of 11 patches
- backported from the development branch: Some build fixes, several fixes
- for mount and nfsmount, a fix for insmod on big endian systems, a fix for
- find -xdev, and a fix for comm. Check the file "changelog" in the tarball
- for more info.</p>
-
- <p>The next new development release (1.2.0) is slated for June. A 1.1.3
- will be released before then if more bug fixes crop up. (The new plan is
- to have a 1.x.0 new development release every 3 months, with 1.x.y stable
- bugfix only releases based on that as appropriate.)</p>
-
- <li><b>27 March 2006 -- Software Freedom Law Center representing BusyBox and uClibc</b>
- <p>One issue Erik Andersen wanted to resolve when handing off BusyBox
- maintainership to Rob Landley was license enforcement. BusyBox and
- uClibc's existing license enforcement efforts (pro-bono representation
- by Erik's father's law firm, and the
- <a href="http://www.busybox.net/shame.html">Hall of Shame</a>), haven't
- scaled to match the popularity of the projects. So we put our heads
- together and did the obvious thing: ask Pamela Jones of
- <a href="http://www.groklaw.net">Groklaw</a> for suggestions. She
- referred us to the fine folks at softwarefreedom.org.</p>
-
- <p>As a result, we're pleased to announce that the
- <a href="http://www.softwarefreedom.org">Software Freedom Law Center</a>
- has agreed to represent BusyBox and uClibc. We join a number of other
- free and open source software projects (such as
- <a href="http://lwn.net/Articles/141806/">X.org</a>,
- <a href="http://lwn.net/Articles/135413/">Wine</a>, and
- <a href="http://plone.org/foundation/newsitems/software-freedom-law-center-support/">Plone</a>
- in being represented by a fairly cool bunch of lawyers, which is not a
- phrase you get to use every day.</p>

- <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>
- <p>Update: Rather than put out an endless stream of 1.1.1.x releases,
- the various small fixes have been collected together into a
- <a href="http://busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.1.1.fixes.patch">patch</a>,
- and new fixes will be appended to that as needed. Expect 1.1.2 around
- June.</p>

- <li><b>11 January 2006 -- 1.1.0 is out</b>
- <p>The new stable release is
- <a href="http://www.busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.1.0.tar.bz2">BusyBox
- 1.1.0</a>. It has a number of improvements, including several new applets.
- (It also has <a href="http://www.busybox.net/lists/busybox/2006-January/017733.html">a few rough spots</a>,
- but we're trying out a "release early, release often" strategy to see how
- that works. Expect 1.1.1 sometime in March.)</p>
