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.

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>

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>

84 the details. As usual you can <a href="downloads">download busybox here</a>.
