85 <li> <b>10 April 2001 -- BusyBox 0.51 released</b>
86 <br>
87
88 BusyBox 0.51 (the "rock-solid release") is now out there. This
89 release adds only 2 new applets: env and vi. The vi applet,
90 contributed by Sterling Huxley, is very functional, and is only
91 22k. This release fixes 3 critical bugs in the 0.50 release.
92 There were 2 potential segfaults in lash (the busybox shell) in
93 the 0.50 release which are now fixed. Another critical bug in
94 0.50 which is now fixed: syslogd from 0.50 could potentially
95 deadlock the init process and thereby break your entire system.
96 <p>
97
98 There are a number of improvements in this release as well. For
99 one thing, the wget applet is greatly improved. Dmitry Zakharov
100 added FTP support, and Laurence Anderson make wget fully RFC
101 compliant for HTTP 1.1. The mechanism for including utility
102 functions in previous releases was clumsy and error prone. Now
103 all utility functions are part of a new libbb library, which makes
104 maintaining utility functions much simpler. And BusyBox now
105 compiles on itanium systems (thanks to the Debian itanium porters
106 for letting me use their system!).
