<li><b>20 July 2004 -- BusyBox 1.0.0-rc1 released</b><p>
|
|
|
|
Here goes release candidate 1... This fixes all (most?) of the problems
|
|
that have turned up since -pre10. In particular, loading and unloading of
|
|
kernel modules with 2.6.x kernels should be working much better.
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
I <b>really</b> want to get BusyBox 1.0.0 released soon and I see no reason
|
|
real reason why the 1.0.0 release shouldn't happen with things pretty much as is.

I <b>really</b> want to get BusyBox 1.0.0 released soon and I see no real
|
|
reason why the 1.0.0 release shouldn't happen with things pretty much as
|
|
is. BusyBox is in good shape at the moment, and it works nicely for
|
|
everything that I'm doing with it. And from the reports I've been getting,
|
|
it works nicely for what most everyone else is doing with it as well.
|
|
There will eventually be a 1.0.1 anyway, so we might as well get on with
|
|
it. No BusyBox is not perfect. No piece of software ever is. And while
|
|
there is still plenty that can be done to improve things, most of that work
|
|
is waiting till we can get a solid 1.0.0 release out the door....
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
Please do not bother to send in patches adding cool new features
|
|
at this time. Only bug-fix patches will be accepted. It would also be
|
|
<b>very</b> helpful if people could continue to review the BusyBox
|
|
documentation and submit improvements.
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
If you have submitted a bug-fixing patch to the busybox mailing list and no
|
|
one has emailed you explaining why your patch was rejected, it is safe to
|
|
say that your patch has been lost or forgotten. That happens sometimes.
|
|
Please re-submit your bug-fixing patch to the BusyBox mailing list, and
|
|
be sure to put "[PATCH]" at the beginning of the email subject line!

The <a href="downloads/Changelog">changelog</a> has all the details.

On a less happy note, My 92 year old grandmother (my dad's mom) passed away
|
|
yesterday (June 19th). The funeral will be Thursday in a little town about
|
|
2 hours south of my home. I've checked and there is absolutely no way I
|
|
could be back in time for the funeral if I attend <a
|
|
href="http://www.linuxsymposium.org/2004/">OLS</a> and give my presentation
|
|
as scheduled.
|
|
<p>
|
|
As such, it is with great reluctance and sadness that I have come
|
|
to the conclusion I will have to make my appologies and skip OLS
|
|
this year.

<li><b>13 April 2004 -- BusyBox 1.0.0-pre10 released</b><p>
|
|
|
|
Ok, I lied. It turns out that -pre9 will not be the final BusyBox
|
|
pre-release. With any luck however -pre10 will be, since I <b>really</b>
|
|
want to get BusyBox 1.0.0 released very soon. As usual, please do not
|
|
bother to send in patches adding cool new features at this time. Only
|
|
bug-fix patches will be accepted. It would also be <b>very</b> helpful if
|

people could continue to review the BusyBox documentation and submit

<li><b>6 April 2004 -- BusyBox 1.0.0-pre9 released</b><p>
|
|
|
|
Here goes the final BusyBox pre-release... This is your last chance for
|
|
bug fixes. With luck this will be released as BusyBox 1.0.0 later this
|
|
week. Please do not bother to send in patches adding cool new features at
|
|
this time. Only bug-fix patches will be accepted. It would also be
|
|
<b>very</b> helpful if people could help review the BusyBox documentation
|
|
and submit improvements. I've spent a lot of time updating the
|
|
documentation to make it better match reality, but I could really use some
|
|
assistance in checking that the features supported by the various applets
|
|
match the features listed in the documentation.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
I had hoped to get this released a month ago, but
|
|
<a href="http://codepoet.org/gallery/baby_peter/img_1796">
|

another release on 1 March 2004</a> has kept me busy...

<li><b>23 February 2004 -- BusyBox 1.0.0-pre8 released</b><p>
|
|
|
|
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.
