90 <br>
91 Turns out that there was still a bug in busybox syslogd.
92 For example, with the following test app:
93<pre>
94 #include &lt;syslog.h&gt;
95
96 int do_log(char* msg, int delay)
97 {
98 openlog("testlog", LOG_PID, LOG_DAEMON);
99 while(1) {
100 syslog(LOG_ERR, "%s: testing one, two, three\n", msg);
101 sleep(delay);
102 }
103 closelog();
104 return(0);
105 };
106
107 int main(void)
108 {
109 if (fork()==0)
110 do_log("A", 2);
111 do_log("B", 3);
112 }
113</pre>
114 it should be logging stuff from both "A" and "B". As released in 0.43 only stuff
115 from "A" would have been logged. This means that if init tries to log something
116 while say ppp has the syslog open, init would block (which is bad, bad, bad).

123 <p> <li> <b>18 April 2000 -- BusyBox 0.43 released (finally!)</b>
124 <br>
125 I have finally gotten everything into a state where I feel pretty
126 good about things. This is definitely the most stable, solid release
127 so far. A lot of bugs have been fixed, and the following new apps
128 have been added: sh, basename, dirname, killall, uptime,
129 freeramdisk, tr, echo, test, and usleep. Tar has been completely
130 rewritten from scratch. Bss size has also been greatly reduced.
131 More details are available in the
132 <a href="ftp://ftp.lineo.com/pub/busybox/Changelog">changelog</a>.
133 Oh, and as a special bonus, I wrote some fairly comprehensive
134 <em>documentation</em>, complete with examples and full usage information.
135
136 <p>
137 Many thanks go out to the fine people that have helped by submitting patches
138 and bug reports; particularly instrumental in helping for this release were
139 Karl Hegbloom, Pavel Roskin, Friedrich Vedder, Emanuele Caratti,
140 Bob Tinsley, Nicolas Pitre, Avery Pennarun, Arne Bernin, John Beppu, and Jim Gleason.
141 There were others so if I somehow forgot to mention you, I'm very sorry.

147 <br>
148 Unfortunately, I have not yet finished all the things I want to
149 do for BusyBox 0.43, so I am posting this pre-release for people
150 to poke at. This contains my complete rewrite of tar, which now weighs in at
151 5k (7k with all options turned on) and works for reading and writing
152 tarballs (which it does correctly for everything I have been able to throw
153 at it). Tar also (optionally) supports the "--exclude" option (mainly because
154 the Linux Router Project folks asked for it). This also has a pre-release
155 of the micro shell I have been writing. This pre-release should be stable
156 enough for production use -- it just isn't a release since I have some structural
157 changes I still want to make.
158 <p>

160 Please let me know ASAP if you find <em>any</em> bugs.

162 <p> <li> <b>28 March 2000 -- Andersen Baby Boy release</b>
163 <br>
164 I am pleased to announce that on Tuesday March 28th at 5:48pm, weighing in at 7
165 lbs. 12 oz, Micah Erik Andersen was born at LDS Hospital here in Salt Lake City.
166 He was born in the emergency room less then 5 minutes after we arrived -- and
167 it was such a relief that we even made it to the hospital at all. Despite the
168 fact that I was driving at an amazingly unlawful speed and honking at everybody
169 and thinking decidedly unkind thoughts about the people in our way, my wife
170 (inconsiderate of my feelings and complete lack of medical training) was lying
171 down in the back seat saying things like "I think I need to start pushing now"
172 (which she then proceeded to do despite my best encouraging statements to the
173 contrary).
174 <p>
175 Anyway, I'm glad to note that despite the much-faster-than-we-were-expecting
176 labor, both Shaunalei and our new baby boy are doing wonderfully.
177 <p>
178 So now that I am done with my excuse for the slow release cycle...
179 Progress on the next release of BusyBox has been slow but steady. I expect
180 to have a release sometime during the first week of April. This release will
181 include a number of important changes, including the addition of a shell, a
182 re-write of tar (to accommodate the Linux Router Project), and syslogd can now
183 accept multiple concurrent connections, fixing lots of unexpected blocking
184 problems.

107 tarballs (which it does correctly for everything I have been able to throw
108 at it). Tar also (optionally) supports the "--exclude" option (mainly because
109 the Linux Router Project folks asked for it). This also has a pre-release
110 of the micro shell I have been writing. This pre-release should be stable
111 enough for production use -- it just isn't a release since I have some structural
112 changes I still want to make.
113 <p>
114 The pre-release can be found <a href="ftp://ftp.lineo.com/pub/busybox/">here</a>.
115 Please let me know ASAP if you find <em>any</em> bugs.

117 <p> <li> <b>28 March 2000 -- Andersen Baby Boy release</b>
118 <br>
119 I am pleased to announce that on Tuesday March 28th at 5:48pm, weighing in at 7
120 lbs. 12 oz, Micah Erik Andersen was born at LDS Hospital here in Salt Lake City.
121 He was born in the emergency room less then 5 minutes after we arrived -- and
122 it was such a relief that we even made it to the hospital at all. Despite the
123 fact that I was driving at an amazingly unlawful speed and honking at everybody
124 and thinking decidedly unkind thoughts about the people in our way, my wife
125 (inconsiderate of my feelings and complete lack of medical training) was lying
126 down in the back seat saying things like "I think I need to start pushing now"
127 (which she then proceeded to do despite my best encouraging statements to the
128 contrary).
129 <p>
130 Anyway, I'm glad to note that despite the much-faster-than-we-were-expecting
131 labor, both Shaunalei and our new baby boy are doing wonderfully.
132 <p>
133 So now that I am done with my excuse for the slow release cycle...
134 Progress on the next release of BusyBox has been slow but steady. I expect
135 to have a release sometime during the first week of April. This release will
136 include a number of important changes, including the addition of a shell, a
137 re-write of tar (to accommodate the Linux Router Project), and syslogd can now
138 accept multiple concurrent connections, fixing lots of unexpected blocking
139 problems.

141
142 <p> <li> <b>11 February 2000 -- BusyBox 0.42 released</b>
143 <br>
144
145 This is the most solid BusyBox release so far. Many, many
146 bugs have been fixed. See the
147<a href="ftp://ftp.lineo.com/pub/busybox/Changelog">changelog</a> for details.
148
149 Of particular interest, init will now cleanly unmount
150 filesystems on reboot, cp and mv have been rewritten and
151 behave much better, and mount and umount no longer leak
152 loop devices. Many thanks go out to Randolph Chung,
153 Karl M. Hegbloom, Taketoshi Sano, and Pavel Roskin for
154 their hard work on this release of BusyBox. Please pound
155 on it and let me know if you find any bugs.
156
