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!). | ||
107 | <p> | ||
108 | You can read the | ||
109 | <a href="ftp://oss.lineo.com/busybox/Changelog">changelog</a> for | ||
110 | complete details. BusyBox 0.51 can be downloaded from | ||
