96 <li><b>30 July 2003 -- BusyBox 1.0.0-pre2 released</b><p>
97
98 Here goes another pre release for the new BusyBox stable
99 series. The last prerelease (pre1) was given quite a lot of
100 testing (thanks everyone!) which has helped turn up a number of
101 bugs, and these problems have now been fixed.
102
103 <p>
104
105 Highlights of -pre2 include updating the 'ash' shell to sync up
106 with the Debian 'dash' shell, a new 'hdparm' applet was added,
107 init again supports pivot_root, The 'reboot' 'halt' and
108 'poweroff' applets can now be used without using busybox init.
109 an ifconfig buffer overflow was fixed, losetup now allows
110 read-write loop devices, uClinux daemon support was added, the
111 'watchdog', 'fdisk', and 'kill' applets were rewritten, there were
112 tons of doc updates, and there were many other bugs fixed.
113 <p>
114
115 If you have submitted a patch and it is not included in this
116 release and Erik has not emailed you explaining why your patch
117 was rejected, it is safe to say that he has lost your patch.
118 That happens sometimes. Please re-submit your patch to the
119 BusyBox mailing list.
120 <p>
121
122 The point of the "-preX" versions is to get a larger group of
123 people and vendors testing, so any problems that turn up can be
124 fixed prior to the final 1.0.0 release. The main feature that
125 is still still on the TODO list before the final BusyBox 1.0.0
126 release is adding module support for the new 2.6.x kernels. If
127 necessary, a -pre3 BusyBox release will happen on August 6th.
128 Hopefully (i.e. unless some horrible catastrophic problem
129 turns up) the final BusyBox 1.0.0 release will be ready by
130 then...
