< 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 >
2006-07-08 23:41:00 +05:30
< 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 >

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 >
2006-04-11 01:34:32 +05:30
< 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
2006-03-28 04:13:40 +05:30
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

phrase you get to use every day.< / p >
2006-03-23 08:38:09 +05:30
< li > < b > 22 March 2006 -- BusyBox 1.1.1< / b >
< 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 >
2006-03-28 04:13:40 +05:30
< 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 > ,
2006-03-28 04:52:16 +05:30
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.
2006-04-11 00:46:50 +05:30
(It also has < a href = "http://www.busybox.net/lists/busybox/2006-January/017733.html" > a few rough spots< / a > ,
2006-01-14 13:13:22 +05:30
but we're trying out a "release early, release often" strategy to see how
that works. Expect 1.1.1 sometime in March.)< / p >
