+
+ <p> <li> <b>19 April 2000 -- syslogd bugfix</b>
+ <br>
+ Turns out that there was still a bug in busybox syslogd.
+ For example, with the following test app:
+<pre>
+ #include <syslog.h>
+
+ int do_log(char* msg, int delay)
+ {
+ openlog("testlog", LOG_PID, LOG_DAEMON);
+ while(1) {
+ syslog(LOG_ERR, "%s: testing one, two, three\n", msg);
+ sleep(delay);
+ }
+ closelog();
+ return(0);
+ };
+
+ int main(void)
+ {
+ if (fork()==0)
+ do_log("A", 2);
+ do_log("B", 3);
+ }
+</pre>
+ it should be logging stuff from both "A" and "B". As released in 0.43 only stuff
+ from "A" would have been logged. This means that if init tries to log something
+ while say ppp has the syslog open, init would block (which is bad, bad, bad).
+ <p>
+ Karl M. Hegbloom has created a
+ <a href="ftp://ftp.lineo.com/pub/busybox/busybox-0.43-syslog_patch">fix for the problem</a>.
+ Thanks Karl!
+
+
+ <p> <li> <b>18 April 2000 -- BusyBox 0.43 released (finally!)</b>
+ <br>
+ I have finally gotten everything into a state where I feel pretty
+ good about things. This is definitely the most stable, solid release
+ so far. A lot of bugs have been fixed, and the following new apps
+ have been added: sh, basename, dirname, killall, uptime,
+ freeramdisk, tr, echo, test, and usleep. Tar has been completely
+ rewritten from scratch. Bss size has also been greatly reduced.
+ More details are available in the
+ <a href="ftp://ftp.lineo.com/pub/busybox/Changelog">changelog</a>.
+ Oh, and as a special bonus, I wrote some fairly comprehensive
+ <em>documentation</em>, complete with examples and full usage information.
+
+ <p>
+ Many thanks go out to the fine people that have helped by submitting patches
+ and bug reports; particularly instrumental in helping for this release were
+ Karl Hegbloom, Pavel Roskin, Friedrich Vedder, Emanuele Caratti,
+ Bob Tinsley, Nicolas Pitre, Avery Pennarun, Arne Bernin, John Beppu, and Jim Gleason.
+ There were others so if I somehow forgot to mention you, I'm very sorry.
+ <p>
+
+ You can grab BusyBox 0.43 tarballs <a href="ftp://ftp.lineo.com/pub/busybox/">here</a>.
+
+ <p> <li> <b>9 April 2000 -- BusyBox 0.43 pre release</b>
+ <br>
+ Unfortunately, I have not yet finished all the things I want to
+ do for BusyBox 0.43, so I am posting this pre-release for people
+ to poke at. This contains my complete rewrite of tar, which now weighs in at
+ 5k (7k with all options turned on) and works for reading and writing
+ tarballs (which it does correctly for everything I have been able to throw
+ at it). Tar also (optionally) supports the "--exclude" option (mainly because
+ the Linux Router Project folks asked for it). This also has a pre-release
+ of the micro shell I have been writing. This pre-release should be stable
+ enough for production use -- it just isn't a release since I have some structural
+ changes I still want to make.
+ <p>
+ The pre-release can be found <a href="ftp://ftp.lineo.com/pub/busybox/">here</a>.
+ Please let me know ASAP if you find <em>any</em> bugs.
+
+ <p> <li> <b>28 March 2000 -- Andersen Baby Boy release</b>
+ <br>
+ I am pleased to announce that on Tuesday March 28th at 5:48pm, weighing in at 7
+ lbs. 12 oz, Micah Erik Andersen was born at LDS Hospital here in Salt Lake City.
+ He was born in the emergency room less then 5 minutes after we arrived -- and
+ it was such a relief that we even made it to the hospital at all. Despite the
+ fact that I was driving at an amazingly unlawful speed and honking at everybody
+ and thinking decidedly unkind thoughts about the people in our way, my wife
+ (inconsiderate of my feelings and complete lack of medical training) was lying
+ down in the back seat saying things like "I think I need to start pushing now"
+ (which she then proceeded to do despite my best encouraging statements to the
+ contrary).
+ <p>
+ Anyway, I'm glad to note that despite the much-faster-than-we-were-expecting
+ labor, both Shaunalei and our new baby boy are doing wonderfully.
+ <p>
+ So now that I am done with my excuse for the slow release cycle...
+ Progress on the next release of BusyBox has been slow but steady. I expect
+ to have a release sometime during the first week of April. This release will
+ include a number of important changes, including the addition of a shell, a
+ re-write of tar (to accommodate the Linux Router Project), and syslogd can now
+ accept multiple concurrent connections, fixing lots of unexpected blocking
+ problems.
+
+
+ <p> <li> <b>11 February 2000 -- BusyBox 0.42 released</b>
+ <br>
+
+ This is the most solid BusyBox release so far. Many, many
+ bugs have been fixed. See the
+<a href="ftp://ftp.lineo.com/pub/busybox/Changelog">changelog</a> for details.
+
+ Of particular interest, init will now cleanly unmount
+ filesystems on reboot, cp and mv have been rewritten and
+ behave much better, and mount and umount no longer leak
+ loop devices. Many thanks go out to Randolph Chung,
+ Karl M. Hegbloom, Taketoshi Sano, and Pavel Roskin for
+ their hard work on this release of BusyBox. Please pound
+ on it and let me know if you find any bugs.
+
+ <p> <li> <b>19 January 2000 -- BusyBox 0.41 released</b>
+ <br>
+
+ This release includes bugfixes to cp, mv, logger, true, false,
+ mkdir, syslogd, and init. New apps include wc, hostid,
+ logname, tty, whoami, and yes. New features include loop device
+ support in mount and umount, and better TERM handling by init.
+ The changelog can be found <a href="ftp://ftp.lineo.com/pub/busybox/Changelog">here</a>.
+
+ <p> <li> <b>7 January 2000 -- BusyBox 0.40 released</b>
+ <br>
+
+ This release includes bugfixes to init (now includes inittab support),
+ syslogd, head, logger, du, grep, cp, mv, sed, dmesg, ls, kill, gunzip, and mknod.
+ New apps include sort, uniq, lsmod, rmmod, fbset, and loadacm.
+ In particular, this release fixes an important bug in tar which
+ in some cases produced serious security problems.
+ As always, the changelog can be found <a href="ftp://ftp.lineo.com/pub/busybox/Changelog">here</a>.
+
+ <p> <li> <b>11 December 1999 -- BusyBox Website</b>
+ <br>
+ I have received permission from Bruce Perens (the original author of BusyBox)
+ to set up this site as the new primary website for BusyBox. This website
+ will always contain pointers to the latest and greatest, and will also
+ contain the latest documentation on how to use BusyBox, what it can do,
+ what arguments its apps support, etc.
+
+ <p> <li> <b>10 December 1999 -- BusyBox 0.39 released</b>
+ <br>
+ This release includes fixes to init, reboot, halt, kill, and ls, and contains
+ the new apps ping, hostname, mkfifo, free, tail, du, tee, and head. A full
+ changelog can be found <a href="ftp://ftp.lineo.com/pub/busybox/Changelog">here</a>.
+ <p> <li> <b>5 December 1999 -- BusyBox 0.38 released</b>
+ <br>
+ This release includes fixes to tar, cat, ls, dd, rm, umount, find, df,
+ and make install, and includes new apps syslogd/klogd and logger.
