  <li><b>23 December 2003 -- BusyBox 1.0.0-pre5 released</b><p> 

    Here goes the next pre-release for the new BusyBox stable
    series.  The most obvious thing in this release is a fix for
    a terribly stupid bug in mount that prevented it from working
    properly unless you specified the filesystem type.  This
    release also fixes a few compile problems, updates udhcp,
    fixes a silly bug in fdisk, fixes ifup/ifdown to behave like
    the Debian version, updates devfsd, updates the 2.6.x
    modutils support, add a new 'rx' applet, removes the obsolete
    'loadacm' applet, fixes a few tar bugs, fixes a sed bug, and
    a few other odd fixes.

    <p>

    If you see any problems, of have suggestions to make, as
    always, please feel free to send an email to the busybox
    mailing list.

    The <a href="downloads/Changelog">changelog</a> has all 
    the details.  And as usual you can

    <p>Have Fun!

    Here goes the fourth pre-release for the new BusyBox stable
    series.  This release includes major rework to sed, lots of
    rework on tar, a new tiny implementation of bunzip2, a new
    devfsd applet, support for 2.6.x kernel modules, updates to
    the ash shell, sha1sum and md5sum have been merged into a
    common applet, the dpkg applets has been cleaned up, and tons
    of random bugs have been fixed.  Thanks everyone for all the
    testing, bug reports, and patches!  Once again, a big
    thank-you goes to Glenn McGrath (bug1) for stepping in and 
    helping get patches merged!
