117 <li> <b>10 April 2001 -- BusyBox 0.51 released</b>
118 <br>
119
120 BusyBox 0.51 (the "rock-solid release") is now out there. This
121 release adds only 2 new applets: env and vi. The vi applet,
122 contributed by Sterling Huxley, is very functional, and is only
123 22k. This release fixes 3 critical bugs in the 0.50 release.
124 There were 2 potential segfaults in lash (the busybox shell) in
125 the 0.50 release which are now fixed. Another critical bug in
126 0.50 which is now fixed: syslogd from 0.50 could potentially
127 deadlock the init process and thereby break your entire system.
128 <p>
129
130 There are a number of improvements in this release as well. For
131 one thing, the wget applet is greatly improved. Dmitry Zakharov
132 added FTP support, and Laurence Anderson make wget fully RFC
133 compliant for HTTP 1.1. The mechanism for including utility
134 functions in previous releases was clumsy and error prone. Now
135 all utility functions are part of a new libbb library, which makes
136 maintaining utility functions much simpler. And BusyBox now
137 compiles on itanium systems (thanks to the Debian itanium porters
138 for letting me use their system!).
139 <p>
140 You can read the
141 <a href="ftp://oss.lineo.com/busybox/Changelog">changelog</a> for
142 complete details. BusyBox 0.51 can be downloaded from
143 <a href="ftp://oss.lineo.com/busybox">ftp://oss.lineo.com/busybox</a>.
144 <p>Have Fun!
