-		Here goes another pre release for the new BusyBox stable
-		series.  The last prerelease (pre1) was given quite a lot of
-		testing (thanks everyone!) which has helped turn up a number of
-		bugs, and these problems have now been fixed.
+		Here goes the third pre-release for the new BusyBox stable
+		series.  The last prerelease has help up quite well under

+		of people using it has increased.  Thanks everyone for all
+		the testing, bug reports, and patches!

-		Highlights of -pre2 include updating the 'ash' shell to sync up
-		with the Debian 'dash' shell, a new 'hdparm' applet was added,
-		init again supports pivot_root,  The 'reboot' 'halt' and
-		'poweroff' applets can now be used without using busybox init.
-		an ifconfig buffer overflow was fixed, losetup now allows
-		read-write loop devices, uClinux daemon support was added, the
-		'watchdog', 'fdisk', and 'kill' applets were rewritten, there were
-		tons of doc updates, and there were many other bugs fixed.
-		<p>
 		
-		If you have submitted a patch and it is not included in this
-		release and Erik has not emailed you explaining why your patch
-		was rejected, it is safe to say that he has lost your patch.
-		That happens sometimes.   Please re-submit your patch to the
-		BusyBox mailing list.

 		The point of the "-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 final 1.0.0 release.  The main feature that
-		is still still on the TODO list before the final BusyBox 1.0.0
-		release is adding module support for the new 2.6.x kernels.  If
-		necessary, a -pre3 BusyBox release will happen on August 6th.
-		Hopefully (i.e.  unless some horrible catastrophic problem
-		turns up) the final BusyBox 1.0.0 release will be ready by
-		then...
+		fixed prior to the final 1.0.0 release.  The main feature
+		(besides additional testing) that is still still on the TODO
+		list before the final BusyBox 1.0.0 release is sorting out the
+		modutils issues.  For the new 2.6.x kernels, we already have
+		patches adding insmod and rmmod support and those need to be
+		integrated.  For 2.4.x kernels, for which busybox only supports
+		a limited number of architectures, we may want to invest a bit
+		more work before we cut 1.0.0.  Or we may just leave 2.4.x
+		module loading alone.
+
+		<p>
+
+		I had hoped this release would be out a month ago.  And of
+		course, it wasn't since Erik became busy getting a release of 
+		<a href="http://www.uclibc.org/">uClibc</a> 
+		out the door.  Many thanks to Glenn McGrath (bug1) for
+		stepping in and helping get a bunch of patches merged!  I am
+		not even going to state a date for releasing BusyBox 1.0.0
+		-pre4 (or the final 1.0.0).  We're aiming for late September...
+		But if this release proves as to be exceptionally stable (or
+		exceptionally unstable!) then next release may be very soon
+		indeed.
