- <li> <b>15 March 2001 -- BusyBox 0.50 released</b>
- <br>
-
- This release adds several new applets including ifconfig, route, pivot_root, stty,
- and tftp, and also fixes tons of bugs. Tab completion in the
- shell is now working very well, and the shell's environment variable
- expansion was fixed. Tons of other things were fixed or made
- smaller. For a fairly complete overview, see the
- <a href="ftp://oss.lineo.com/busybox/Changelog">changelog</a>.
- <p>
- lash (the busybox shell) is still with us, fixed up a bit so it
- now behaves itself quite nicely. It really is quite usable as
- long as you don't expect it to provide Bourne shell grammer.
- Standard things like pipes, redirects, command line editing, and
- environment variable expansion work great. But we have found that
- this shell, while very usable, does not provide an extensible
- framework for adding in full Bourne shell behavior. So the first order of
- business as we begin working on the next BusyBox release will be to merge in the new shell
- currently in progress at
- <a href="http://doolittle.faludi.com/~larry/parser.html">Larry Doolittle's website</a>.

- <li> <b>27 January 2001 -- BusyBox 0.49 released</b>
- <br>
-
- Several new applets, lots of bug fixes, cleanups, and many smaller
- things made nicer. Several cleanups and improvements to the shell.
- For a list of the most interesting changes
- you might want to look at the <a href="ftp://oss.lineo.com/busybox/Changelog">changelog</a>.
- <p>
- Special thanks go out to Matt Kraai and Larry Doolittle for all their
- work on this release, and for keeping on top of things while I've been
- out of town.
- <p>
- <em>Special Note</em><br>
-
- BusyBox 0.49 was supposed to have replaced lash, the BusyBox
- shell, with a new shell that understands full Bourne shell/Posix shell grammer.
- Well, that simply didn't happen in time for this release. A new
- shell that will eventually replace lash is already under
- construction. This new shell is being developed by Larry
- Doolittle, and could use all of our help. Please see the work in
- progress on <a href="http://doolittle.faludi.com/~larry/parser.html">Larry's website</a>
- and help out if you can. This shell will be included in the next
- release of BusyBox.

- <li> <b>13 December 2000 -- BusyBox 0.48 released</b>
- <br>
-
- This release fixes lots and lots of bugs. This has had some very
- rigorous testing, and looks very, very clean. The usual tar
- update of course: tar no longer breaks hardlinks, tar -xzf is
- optionally supported, and the LRP folks will be pleased to know
- that 'tar -X' and 'tar --exclude' are both now in. Applets are
- now looked up using a binary search making lash (the busybox
- shell) much faster. For the new debian-installer (for Debian
- woody) a .udeb can now be generated.
- <p>
- The curious can get a list of some of the more interesting changes by reading
- the <a href="ftp://oss.lineo.com/busybox/Changelog">changelog</a>.
- <p>
- Many thanks go out to the many many people that have contributed to
- this release, especially Matt Kraai, Larry Doolittle, and Kent Robotti.
