46 | <li><b>30 July 2003 -- BusyBox 1.0.0-pre2 released</b><p> | ||
47 | |||
48 | Here goes another pre release for the new BusyBox stable | ||
49 | series. The last prerelease (pre1) was given quite a lot of | ||
50 | testing (thanks everyone!) which has helped turn up a number of | ||
51 | bugs, and these problems have now been fixed. | ||
52 | |||
53 | <p> | ||
54 | |||
55 | Highlights of -pre2 include updating the 'ash' shell to sync up | ||
56 | with the Debian 'dash' shell, a new 'hdparm' applet was added, | ||
57 | init again supports pivot_root, The 'reboot' 'halt' and | ||
58 | 'poweroff' applets can now be used without using busybox init. | ||
59 | an ifconfig buffer overflow was fixed, losetup now allows | ||
60 | read-write loop devices, uClinux daemon support was added, the | ||
61 | 'watchdog', 'fdisk', and 'kill' applets were rewritten, there were | ||
62 | tons of doc updates, and there were many other bugs fixed. | ||
63 | <p> | ||
64 | |||
65 | If you have submitted a patch and it is not included in this | ||
66 | release and Erik has not emailed you explaining why your patch | ||
67 | was rejected, it is safe to say that he has lost your patch. | ||
68 | That happens sometimes. Please re-submit your patch to the | ||
69 | BusyBox mailing list. | ||
70 | <p> | ||
71 | |||
72 | The point of the "-preX" versions is to get a larger group of | ||
73 | people and vendors testing, so any problems that turn up can be | ||
74 | fixed prior to the final 1.0.0 release. The main feature that | ||
75 | is still still on the TODO list before the final BusyBox 1.0.0 | ||
76 | release is adding module support for the new 2.6.x kernels. If | ||
77 | necessary, a -pre3 BusyBox release will happen on August 6th. | ||
78 | Hopefully (i.e. unless some horrible catastrophic problem | ||
79 | turns up) the final BusyBox 1.0.0 release will be ready by | ||
80 | then... | ||
81 | <p> | ||

83 | The <a href="downloads/Changelog">changelog</a> has all | ||
84 | the details. As usual you can <a href="downloads">download busybox here</a>. | ||
