28 Here goes release candidate 1... This fixes all (most?) of the problems
29 that have turned up since -pre10. In particular, loading and unloading of
30 kernel modules with 2.6.x kernels should be working much better.

33 I <b>really</b> want to get BusyBox 1.0.0 released soon and I see no real
34 reason why the 1.0.0 release shouldn't happen with things pretty much as
35 is. BusyBox is in good shape at the moment, and it works nicely for
36 everything that I'm doing with it. And from the reports I've been getting,
37 it works nicely for what most everyone else is doing with it as well.
38 There will eventually be a 1.0.1 anyway, so we might as well get on with
39 it. No, BusyBox is not perfect. No piece of software ever is. And while
40 there is still plenty that can be done to improve things, most of that work
41 is waiting till we can get a solid 1.0.0 release out the door....

44 Please do not bother to send in patches adding cool new features at this
45 time. Only bug-fix patches will be accepted. If you have submitted a
46 bug-fixing patch to the busybox mailing list and no one has emailed you
47 explaining why your patch was rejected, it is safe to say that your patch
48 has been lost or forgotten. That happens sometimes. Please re-submit your
49 bug-fixing patch to the BusyBox mailing list, and be sure to put "[PATCH]"
50 at the beginning of the email subject line!

59 On a less happy note, My 92 year old grandmother (my dad's mom) passed away
60 yesterday (June 19th). The funeral will be Thursday in a little town about
61 2 hours south of my home. I've checked and there is absolutely no way I
62 could be back in time for the funeral if I attend <a
63 href="http://www.linuxsymposium.org/2004/">OLS</a> and give my presentation
64 as scheduled.
65 <p>
66 As such, it is with great reluctance and sadness that I have come
67 to the conclusion I will have to make my appologies and skip OLS
68 this year.

75 Ok, I lied. It turns out that -pre9 will not be the final BusyBox
76 pre-release. With any luck however -pre10 will be, since I <b>really</b>
77 want to get BusyBox 1.0.0 released very soon. As usual, please do not
78 bother to send in patches adding cool new features at this time. Only
