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

<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.

<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.

<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.
<p>
People who rely on the <a href= "downloads/snapshots/">daily BusyBox snapshots</a>
should be aware that snapshots of the old busybox 0.60.x
series are no longer available. Daily snapshots are now
only available for the BusyBox 1.0.0 series and now use
the naming scheme "busybox-&lt;date&gt;.tar.bz2". Please
adjust any build scripts using the old naming scheme accordingly.

<li><b>23 December 2003 -- BusyBox 1.0.0-pre5 released</b><p>
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.

always, please feel free to send an email to the busybox
