<li><b>31 October 2005 -- 1.1.0-pre1</b>
<p>The development branch of busybox is stable enough for wider testing, so
you can now download (temporarly location:
<a href="http://www.busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.1.0-pre1.tar.bz2">tarball</a>
<a href="http://www.busybox.net/downloads/BusyBox.html">docs</a>)
the first prerelease of 1.1.0. This prerelease includes a lot of new
functionality: new applets, new features, and extensive rewrites of
several existing applets. This prerelease should be noticeably more
<a href="http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/">standards
compliant</a> than earlier versions of busybox, although we're
still working out the <a href="http://bugs.busybox.net">bugs</a>.</p>
<li><b>16 August 2005 -- 1.01 is out</b>
<p>A new stable release (<a href="http://www.busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.01.tar.bz2">BusyBox
1.01</a>) is now available for download, containing over a hundred
<a href="http://www.busybox.net/lists/busybox/2005-August/015424.html">small
fixes</a> that have cropped up since the 1.00 release.</p>
<li><b>13 January 2005 -- Bug and Patch Tracking</b><p>
Bug reports sometimes get lost when posted to the mailing list. The
developers of BusyBox are busy people, and have only so much they can keep
in their brains at a time. In my case, I'm lucky if I can remember my own
name, much less a bug report posted last week... To prevent your bug report
from getting lost, if you find a bug in BusyBox, please use the
<a href="http://bugs.busybox.net/">shiny new Bug and Patch Tracking System</a>
to post all the gory details.
<p>
The same applies to patches... Regardless of whether your patch
is a bug fix or adds spiffy new features, please post your patch
to the Bug and Patch Tracking System to make certain it is
properly considered.
<p>
<li><b>13 October 2004 -- BusyBox 1.00 released</b><p>
When you take a careful look at nearly every embedded Linux device or
software distribution shipping today, you will find a copy of BusyBox.
With countless routers, set top boxes, wireless access points, PDAs, and
who knows what else, the future for Linux and BusyBox on embedded devices
is looking very bright.
<p>
It is therefore with great satisfaction that I declare each and every
device already shipping with BusyBox is now officially out of date.
The highly anticipated release of BusyBox 1.00 has arrived!
<p>
Over three years in development, BusyBox 1.00 represents a tremendous
improvement over the old 0.60.x stable series. Now featuring a Linux
KernelConf based configuration system (as used by the Linux kernel),
Linux 2.6 kernel support, many many new applets, and the development
work and testing of thousands of people from around the world.
<p>
If you are already using BusyBox, you are strongly encouraged to upgrade to
BusyBox 1.00. If you are considering developing an embedded Linux device
or software distribution, you may wish to investigate if using BusyBox is
right for your application. If you need help getting started using
BusyBox, if you wish to donate to help cover expenses, or if you find a bug
and need help reporting it, you are invited to visit the <a
href="FAQ.html">BusyBox FAQ</a>.
<p>
As usual you can <a href="downloads">download busybox here</a>.
<p>Have Fun!
