| <li><b>31 October 2005 -- 1.1.0-pre1</b> |
| <p>The development branch of busybox is stable enough for wider testing, so |
| you can now |
| <a href="http://www.busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.1.0-pre1.tar.bz2">download</a>, |
| the first prerelease of 1.1.0. This prerelease includes a lot of |
| <a href="http://www.busybox.net/downloads/BusyBox.html">new |
| functionality</a>: new applets, new features, and extensive rewrites of |
| several existing applets. This prerelease should be noticeably more |
| <a href="http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/">standards |
| compliant</a> than earlier versions of busybox, although we're |
| still working out the <a href="http://bugs.busybox.net">bugs</a>.</p> |
| |
| <li><b>16 August 2005 -- 1.01 is out</b> |
| |
| <p>A new stable release (<a href="http://www.busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.01.tar.bz2">BusyBox |
| 1.01</a>) is now available for download, containing over a hundred |
| <a href="http://www.busybox.net/lists/busybox/2005-August/015424.html">small |
| fixes</a> that have cropped up since the 1.00 release.</p> |
| |
| <li><b>13 January 2005 -- Bug and Patch Tracking</b><p> |
| |
| Bug reports sometimes get lost when posted to the mailing list. The |
| developers of BusyBox are busy people, and have only so much they can keep |
| in their brains at a time. In my case, I'm lucky if I can remember my own |
| name, much less a bug report posted last week... To prevent your bug report |
| from getting lost, if you find a bug in BusyBox, please use the |
| <a href="http://bugs.busybox.net/">shiny new Bug and Patch Tracking System</a> |
| to post all the gory details. |
| |
| <p> |
| |
| The same applies to patches... Regardless of whether your patch |
| is a bug fix or adds spiffy new features, please post your patch |
| to the Bug and Patch Tracking System to make certain it is |
| properly considered. |

| <li><b>13 October 2004 -- BusyBox 1.00 released</b><p> |
| |
| When you take a careful look at nearly every embedded Linux device or |
| software distribution shipping today, you will find a copy of BusyBox. |
| With countless routers, set top boxes, wireless access points, PDAs, and |
| who knows what else, the future for Linux and BusyBox on embedded devices |
| is looking very bright. |
| |
| <p> |
| |
| It is therefore with great satisfaction that I declare each and every |
| device already shipping with BusyBox is now officially out of date. |
| The highly anticipated release of BusyBox 1.00 has arrived! |
| |
| <p> |
| |
| Over three years in development, BusyBox 1.00 represents a tremendous |
| improvement over the old 0.60.x stable series. Now featuring a Linux |
| KernelConf based configuration system (as used by the Linux kernel), |
| Linux 2.6 kernel support, many many new applets, and the development |
| work and testing of thousands of people from around the world. |
| |
| <p> |
| |
| If you are already using BusyBox, you are strongly encouraged to upgrade to |
| BusyBox 1.00. If you are considering developing an embedded Linux device |
| or software distribution, you may wish to investigate if using BusyBox is |
| right for your application. If you need help getting started using |
| BusyBox, if you wish to donate to help cover expenses, or if you find a bug |
| and need help reporting it, you are invited to visit the <a |
| href="FAQ.html">BusyBox FAQ</a>. |
| |
| <p> |
| |
| As usual you can <a href="downloads">download busybox here</a>. |
| |
| <p>Have Fun! |
