- - The busybox development series has been under construction for - nearly two years now. Which is just entirely too long... So - it is with great pleasure that I announce the imminent release - of a new stable series. Due to the huge number of changes - since the last stable release (and the usual mindless version - number inflation) I am branding this new stable series verison - 1.0.x... +
+ + 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. +
- 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. + 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.
- 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. That - happens sometimes. Please do NOT send all your patches, - support questions, etc, directly to Erik. 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. + 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.
- I would like to especially thank Vladimir Oleynik (vodz), Glenn - McGrath (bug1), Robert Griebl (sandman), and Manuel Novoa III - (mjn3) for their significant efforts and contributions that - have made this release possible. + 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...
