176 <li> <b>15 March 2001 -- BusyBox 0.50 released</b>
177 <br>
178
179 This release adds several new applets including ifconfig, route, pivot_root, stty,
180 and tftp, and also fixes tons of bugs. Tab completion in the
181 shell is now working very well, and the shell's environment variable
182 expansion was fixed. Tons of other things were fixed or made
183 smaller. For a fairly complete overview, see the
184 <a href="ftp://oss.lineo.com/busybox/Changelog">changelog</a>.
185 <p>
186 lash (the busybox shell) is still with us, fixed up a bit so it
187 now behaves itself quite nicely. It really is quite usable as
188 long as you don't expect it to provide Bourne shell grammer.
189 Standard things like pipes, redirects, command line editing, and
190 environment variable expansion work great. But we have found that
191 this shell, while very usable, does not provide an extensible
192 framework for adding in full Bourne shell behavior. So the first order of
193 business as we begin working on the next BusyBox release will be to merge in the new shell
194 currently in progress at

200 <br>
201
202 Several new applets, lots of bug fixes, cleanups, and many smaller
203 things made nicer. Several cleanups and improvements to the shell.
204 For a list of the most interesting changes
205 you might want to look at the <a href="ftp://oss.lineo.com/busybox/Changelog">changelog</a>.

207 Special thanks go out to Matt Kraai and Larry Doolittle for all their
208 work on this release, and for keeping on top of things while I've been
209 out of town.

211 <em>Special Note</em><br>
212
213 BusyBox 0.49 was supposed to have replaced lash, the BusyBox
214 shell, with a new shell that understands full Bourne shell/Posix shell grammer.
215 Well, that simply didn't happen in time for this release. A new
216 shell that will eventually replace lash is already under
217 construction. This new shell is being developed by Larry
218 Doolittle, and could use all of our help. Please see the work in
219 progress on <a href="http://doolittle.faludi.com/~larry/parser.html">Larry's website</a>
220 and help out if you can. This shell will be included in the next
221 release of BusyBox.

224 <li> <b>13 December 2000 -- BusyBox 0.48 released</b>
225 <br>
226
227 This release fixes lots and lots of bugs. This has had some very
228 rigorous testing, and looks very, very clean. The usual tar
229 update of course: tar no longer breaks hardlinks, tar -xzf is
230 optionally supported, and the LRP folks will be pleased to know
231 that 'tar -X' and 'tar --exclude' are both now in. Applets are
232 now looked up using a binary search making lash (the busybox
233 shell) much faster. For the new debian-installer (for Debian
234 woody) a .udeb can now be generated.
235 <p>
236 The curious can get a list of some of the more interesting changes by reading
237 the <a href="ftp://oss.lineo.com/busybox/Changelog">changelog</a>.
238 <p>
239 Many thanks go out to the many many people that have contributed to
240 this release, especially Matt Kraai, Larry Doolittle, and Kent Robotti.
