- - I am very pleased to announce that the BusyBox 0.60.5 (stable) - is now available for download. This is a bugfix release for - the stable series to address all the problems that have turned - up since the last release. Unfortunately, the previous release - had a few nasty bugs (i.e. init could deadlock, gunzip -c tried - to delete source files, cp -a wouldn't copy symlinks, and init - was not always providing controlling ttys when it should have). - I know I said that the previous release would be the end of the - 0.60.x series. Well, it turns out I'm a liar. But this time I - mean it (just like last time ;-). This will be the last - release for the 0.60.x series -- all further development work - will be done for the development busybox tree. Expect the development - version to have its first real release very very soon now... - -

Have Fun! +
+ + 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...

- - I am very pleased to announce that the BusyBox 0.60.4 - (stable) is now available for download. This is primarily - a bugfix release for the stable series to address all - the problems that have turned up since the last - release. This will be the last release for the 0.60.x series. - I mean it this time -- all further development work will be done - on the development busybox tree, which is quite solid now and - should soon be getting its first real release. - + 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.

Have Fun! + + 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.
+ 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. +

- - I am very pleased to announce that the BusyBox 0.60.3 (stable) is - now available for download. This is primarily a bugfix release - for the stable series. A number of problems have turned up since - the last release, and this should address most of those problems. - This should be the last release for the 0.60.x series. The - development busybox tree has been progressing nicely, and will - hopefully be ready to become the next stable release. + As usual you can download busybox here. + You don't really need to bother with the + changelog, as the changes + vs the stable version are way too extensive to easily enumerate. + But you can take a look if you really want too. -
