+  <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 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.  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!

+    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
+    improvements.

+  <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.

     There was a bug in -pre6 that broke argument parsing for a
