To assist in the - co-location effort, <a href= - "http://www.codepoet.org/~markw">Mark Whitley</a> - (author of busybox sed, cut, and grep) has donated - his <a href= - "http://www.netwinder.org/">NetWinder</a> computer - for hosting busybox.net and uclibc.org.

It turns out <insert argument - where she wins and I don't> she has better ideas - about what we should spend our money on that don't involve - busybox. She suggested I should ask for contributions on the - mailing list and web page. So... + The point of "-preX" versions is to get a larger group of + people and vendors testing, so any problems that turn up can be + fixed prior to the magic 1.0.0 release (which should happen + later this month)... I plan to release BusyBox 1.0.0-pre2 next + Monday (July 21st), and, if necessary, -pre3 on July 28th. + Hopefully (i.e. unless some horrible catastrophic problem turns + up) the final BusyBox 1.0.0 release should be ready by the end + of July. + <p> + + If you have submitted patches, and they are not in this release + and I have not emailed you explaining why your patch was + rejected, it is safe to say that I have lost your patch.

I get hundreds of + emails every day (which is why I end up losing patches + sometimes in the flood)... The busybox mailing list is the + right place to send your patches, support questions, etc. <p> - I am hoping that if everyone could contribute a bit, we could pick - up the busybox.net domain name and cover the bandwidth costs.

Fortunately, nothing <em>too</em> - serious has shown up. This release only fixes bugs -- no - new features, no new applets. So without further ado, - here it is. Come and get it. - <p> - The - <a href="downloads/Changelog">changelog</a> has all - the details. As usual BusyBox 0.60.1 can be downloaded from - <a href="downloads">http://busybox.net/downloads</a>. - <p>Have Fun! - <p> - - - <li> <b>2 August 2001 -- BusyBox 0.60.0 released</b> - <br> - I am very pleased to announce the immediate availability of - BusyBox 0.60.0. I have personally tested this release with libc5, glibc, - and <a href="http://uclibc.org/">uClibc</a> on - x86, ARM, and powerpc using linux 2.2 and 2.4, and I know a number - of people using it on everything from ia64 to m68k with great success. - Everything seems to be working very nicely now, so getting a nice - stable bug-free(tm) release out seems to be in order. This releases fixes - a memory leak in syslogd, a number of bugs in the ash and msh shells, and - cleans up a number of things. - - <p> - - Those wanting an easy way to test the 0.60.0 release with uClibc can - use <a href="http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/">User-Mode Linux</a> - to give it a try by downloading and compiling - <a href="ftp://busybox.net/buildroot.tar.gz">buildroot.tar.gz</a>. - You don't have to be root or reboot your machine to run test this way. - Preconfigured User-Mode Linux kernel source is also on busybox.net. - <p> - Another cool thing is the nifty <a href="downloads/tutorial/index.html"> - BusyBox Tutorial</a> contributed by K Computing. This requires - a ShockWave plugin (or standalone viewer), so you may want to grab the - the GPLed shockwave viewer from <a href="http://www.swift-tools.com/Flash/flash-0.4.10.tgz">here</a> - to view the tutorial. - <p> - - Finally, In case you didn't notice anything odd about the - version number of this release, let me point out that this release - is <em>not</em> 0.53, because I bumped the version number up a - bit. This reflects the fact that this release is intended to form - a new stable BusyBox release series. If you need to rely on a - stable version of BusyBox, you should plan on using the stable - 0.60.x series. If bugs show up then I will release 0.60.1, then - 0.60.2, etc... This is also intended to deal with the fact that - the BusyBox build system will be getting a major overhaul for the - next release and I don't want that to break products that people - are shipping. To avoid that, the new build system will be - released as part of a new BusyBox development series that will - have some not-yet-decided-on odd version number. Once things - stabilize and the new build system is working for everyone, then - I will release that as a new stable release series. - - <p> - The - <a href="downloads/Changelog">changelog</a> has all - the details.

This - release is the result of <em>many</em> hours of work and has tons - of bugfixes, optimizations, and cleanups. This release adds - several new applets, including several new shells (such as hush, msh, - and ash). - - <p> - The - <a href="downloads/Changelog">changelog</a> covers - some of the more obvious details, but there are many many things that - are not mentioned, but have been improved in subtle ways. As usual, - BusyBox 0.52 can be downloaded from - <a href="downloads">http://busybox.net/downloads</a>. - <p>Have Fun! - <p> - - - <li> <b>10 April 2001 - Graph of Busybox Growth </b> - <br> - The illustrious Larry Doolittle has made a PostScript chart of the growth - of the Busybox tarball size over time. It is available for downloading / - viewing <a href= "busybox-growth.ps"> right here</a>. - - <p> (Note that while the number of applets in Busybox has increased, you - can still configure Busybox to be as small as you want by selectively - turning off whichever applets you don't need.) - <p> - - - <li> <b>10 April 2001 -- BusyBox 0.51 released</b> - <br> - - BusyBox 0.51 (the "rock-solid release") is now out there. This - release adds only 2 new applets: env and vi. The vi applet, - contributed by Sterling Huxley, is very functional, and is only - 22k. This release fixes 3 critical bugs in the 0.50 release. - There were 2 potential segfaults in lash (the busybox shell) in - the 0.50 release which are now fixed. Another critical bug in - 0.50 which is now fixed: syslogd from 0.50 could potentially - deadlock the init process and thereby break your entire system. - <p> - - There are a number of improvements in this release as well. For - one thing, the wget applet is greatly improved. Dmitry Zakharov - added FTP support, and Laurence Anderson make wget fully RFC - compliant for HTTP 1.1. The mechanism for including utility - functions in previous releases was clumsy and error prone. Now - all utility functions are part of a new libbb library, which makes - maintaining utility functions much simpler. And BusyBox now - compiles on itanium systems (thanks to the Debian itanium porters - for letting me use their system!). - <p> - You can read the - <a href="downloads/Changelog">changelog</a> for - complete details. BusyBox 0.51 can be downloaded from - <a href="downloads">http://busybox.net/downloads</a>. - <p>Have Fun! - <p> - - <li> <b>Busybox Boot-Floppy Image</b> - - <p>Because you asked for it, we have made available a <a href= - "downloads/busybox.floppy.img"> Busybox boot floppy - image</a>. Here's how you use it: - - <ol> - - <li> <a href= "downloads/busybox.floppy.img"> - Download the image</a> - - <li> dd it onto a floppy like so: <tt> dd if=busybox.floppy.img - of=/dev/fd0 ; sync </tt> - - <li> Pop it in a machine and boot up. - - </ol> - - <p> If you want to look at the contents of the initrd image, do this: - - <pre> - mount ./busybox.floppy.img /mnt -o loop -t msdos - cp /mnt/initrd.gz /tmp - umount /mnt - gunzip /tmp/initrd.gz - mount /tmp/initrd /mnt -o loop -t minix - </pre> - - - <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="downloads/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>. - <p> - - - <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="downloads/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. - <p> - - <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="downloads/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. - <p> - <p> <li> <b>26 September 2000 -- BusyBox 0.47 released</b> - <br> - - This release fixes lots of bugs (including an ugly bug in 0.46 - syslogd that could fork-bomb your system). Added several new - apps: rdate, wget, getopt, dos2unix, unix2dos, reset, unrpm, - renice, xargs, and expr. syslogd now supports network logging. - There are the usual tar updates. Most apps now use getopt for - more correct option parsing. - See the <a href="downloads/Changelog">changelog</a> - for complete details. - - - <p> <li> <b>11 July 2000 -- BusyBox 0.46 released</b> - <br> - - This release fixes several bugs (including a ugly bug in tar, - and fixes for NFSv3 mount support). Added a dumpkmap to allow - people to dump a binary keymaps for use with 'loadkmap', and a - completely reworked 'grep' and 'sed' which should behave better. - BusyBox shell can now also be used as a login shell. - See the <a href="downloads/Changelog">changelog</a> - for complete details. - - - <p> <li> <b>21 June 2000 -- BusyBox 0.45 released</b> - <br> - - This release has been slow in coming, but is very solid at this - point. BusyBox now supports libc5 as well as GNU libc. This - release provides the following new apps: cut, tr, insmod, ar, - mktemp, setkeycodes, md5sum, uuencode, uudecode, which, and - telnet. There are bug fixes for just about every app as well (see - the <a href="downloads/Changelog">changelog</a> for - details). - <p> - Also, some exciting infrastructure news! Busybox now has its own - <a href="lists/busybox/">mailing list</a>, - publically browsable - <a href="/cgi-bin/cvsweb/busybox/">CVS tree</a>, - anonymous - <a href="cvs_anon.html">CVS access</a>, and - for those that are actively contributing there is even - <a href="cvs_write.html">CVS write access</a>. - I think this will be a huge help to the ongoing development of BusyBox. - <p> - Also, for the curious, there is no 0.44 release. Somehow 0.44 got announced - a few weeks ago prior to its actually being released. To avoid any confusion - we are just skipping 0.44. - <p> - Many thanks go out to the many people that have contributed to this release - of BusyBox (esp. Pavel Roskin)! - - - <p> <li> <b>19 April 2000 -- syslogd bugfix</b> - <br> - Turns out that there was still a bug in busybox syslogd. - For example, with the following test app: -<pre> - #include <syslog.h> - - int do_log(char* msg, int delay) - { - openlog("testlog", LOG_PID, LOG_DAEMON); - while(1) { - syslog(LOG_ERR, "%s: testing one, two, three\n", msg); - sleep(delay); - } - closelog(); - return(0); - }; - - int main(void) - { - if (fork()==0) - do_log("A", 2); - do_log("B", 3); - } -</pre> - it should be logging stuff from both "A" and "B". As released in 0.43 only stuff - from "A" would have been logged. This means that if init tries to log something - while say ppp has the syslog open, init would block (which is bad, bad, bad). - <p> - Karl M. Hegbloom has created a fix for the problem. - Thanks Karl! - - - <p> <li> <b>18 April 2000 -- BusyBox 0.43 released (finally!)</b> - <br> - I have finally gotten everything into a state where I feel pretty - good about things. This is definitely the most stable, solid release - so far. A lot of bugs have been fixed, and the following new apps - have been added: sh, basename, dirname, killall, uptime, - freeramdisk, tr, echo, test, and usleep. Tar has been completely - rewritten from scratch. Bss size has also been greatly reduced. - More details are available in the - <a href="downloads/Changelog">changelog</a>. - Oh, and as a special bonus, I wrote some fairly comprehensive - <em>documentation</em>, complete with examples and full usage information. - - <p> - Many thanks go out to the fine people that have helped by submitting patches - and bug reports; particularly instrumental in helping for this release were - Karl Hegbloom, Pavel Roskin, Friedrich Vedder, Emanuele Caratti, - Bob Tinsley, Nicolas Pitre, Avery Pennarun, Arne Bernin, John Beppu, and Jim Gleason. - There were others so if I somehow forgot to mention you, I'm very sorry. - <p> - - You can grab BusyBox 0.43 tarballs <a href="downloads">here</a>. - - <p> <li> <b>9 April 2000 -- BusyBox 0.43 pre release</b> - <br> - Unfortunately, I have not yet finished all the things I want to - do for BusyBox 0.43, so I am posting this pre-release for people - to poke at. This contains my complete rewrite of tar, which now weighs in at - 5k (7k with all options turned on) and works for reading and writing - tarballs (which it does correctly for everything I have been able to throw - at it). Tar also (optionally) supports the "--exclude" option (mainly because - the Linux Router Project folks asked for it). This also has a pre-release - of the micro shell I have been writing. This pre-release should be stable - enough for production use -- it just isn't a release since I have some structural - changes I still want to make. - <p> - The pre-release can be found <a href="downloads">here</a>. - Please let me know ASAP if you find <em>any</em> bugs. - - <p> <li> <b>28 March 2000 -- Andersen Baby Boy release</b> - <br> - I am pleased to announce that on Tuesday March 28th at 5:48pm, weighing in at 7 - lbs. 12 oz, Micah Erik Andersen was born at LDS Hospital here in Salt Lake City. - He was born in the emergency room less then 5 minutes after we arrived -- and - it was such a relief that we even made it to the hospital at all. Despite the - fact that I was driving at an amazingly unlawful speed and honking at everybody - and thinking decidedly unkind thoughts about the people in our way, my wife - (inconsiderate of my feelings and complete lack of medical training) was lying - down in the back seat saying things like "I think I need to start pushing now" - (which she then proceeded to do despite my best encouraging statements to the - contrary). - <p> - Anyway, I'm glad to note that despite the much-faster-than-we-were-expecting - labor, both Shaunalei and our new baby boy are doing wonderfully. - <p> - So now that I am done with my excuse for the slow release cycle... - Progress on the next release of BusyBox has been slow but steady. I expect - to have a release sometime during the first week of April. This release will - include a number of important changes, including the addition of a shell, a - re-write of tar (to accommodate the Linux Router Project), and syslogd can now - accept multiple concurrent connections, fixing lots of unexpected blocking - problems. - - - <p> <li> <b>11 February 2000 -- BusyBox 0.42 released</b> - <br> - - This is the most solid BusyBox release so far. Many, many - bugs have been fixed. See the - <a href="downloads/Changelog">changelog</a> for details. - - Of particular interest, init will now cleanly unmount - filesystems on reboot, cp and mv have been rewritten and - behave much better, and mount and umount no longer leak - loop devices. Many thanks go out to Randolph Chung, - Karl M. Hegbloom, Taketoshi Sano, and Pavel Roskin for - their hard work on this release of BusyBox. Please pound - on it and let me know if you find any bugs. - - <p> <li> <b>19 January 2000 -- BusyBox 0.41 released</b> - <br> - - This release includes bugfixes to cp, mv, logger, true, false, - mkdir, syslogd, and init.

This releases fixes + a memory leak in syslogd, a number of bugs in the ash and msh shells, and + cleans up a number of things. + + <p> + + Those wanting an easy way to test the 0.60.0 release with uClibc can + use <a href="http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/">User-Mode Linux</a> + to give it a try by downloading and compiling + <a href="ftp://busybox.net/buildroot.tar.gz">buildroot.tar.gz</a>. + You don't have to be root or reboot your machine to run test this way. + Preconfigured User-Mode Linux kernel source is also on busybox.net. + <p> + Another cool thing is the nifty <a href="downloads/tutorial/index.html"> + BusyBox Tutorial</a> contributed by K Computing.

This reflects the fact that this release is intended to form + a new stable BusyBox release series. If you need to rely on a + stable version of BusyBox, you should plan on using the stable + 0.60.x series. If bugs show up then I will release 0.60.1, then + 0.60.2, etc... This is also intended to deal with the fact that + the BusyBox build system will be getting a major overhaul for the + next release and I don't want that to break products that people + are shipping. To avoid that, the new build system will be + released as part of a new BusyBox development series that will + have some not-yet-decided-on odd version number.
