| 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 | ||
