26 | <li><b>20 July 2004 -- BusyBox 1.0.0-rc1 released</b><p> | ||
27 | |||
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. | ||
31 | <p> | ||
32 | |||
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 | ||

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]" | ||

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 | ||
