| 33 | |
| 34 | Bug reports sometimes get lost when posted to the mailing list. The |
| 35 | developers of BusyBox are busy people, and have only so much they can keep |
| 36 | in their brains at a time. In my case, I'm lucky if I can remember my own |
| 37 | name, much less a bug report posted last week... To prevent your bug report |
| 38 | from getting lost, if you find a bug in BusyBox, please use the |
| 39 | <a href="http://bugs.busybox.net/">shiny new Bug and Patch Tracking System</a> |
| 40 | to post all the gory details. |
| 41 | |
| 42 | <p> |
| 43 | |
| 44 | The same applies to patches... Regardless of whether your patch |
Eric Andersen | bc32165 | 2005-01-14 17:08:13 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 45 | is a bug fix or adds spiffy new features, please post your patch |
Eric Andersen | 7d1b3d8 | 2005-01-13 17:15:34 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 46 | to the Bug and Patch Tracking System to make certain it is |
| 47 | properly considered. |

Eric Andersen | 9395ca4 | 2004-10-13 09:42:10 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 53 | When you take a careful look at nearly every embedded Linux device or |
| 54 | software distribution shipping today, you will find a copy of BusyBox. |
| 55 | With countless routers, set top boxes, wireless access points, PDAs, and |
| 56 | who knows what else, the future for Linux and BusyBox on embedded devices |
| 57 | is looking very bright. |

| 61 | It is therefore with great satisfaction that I declare each and every |
| 62 | device already shipping with BusyBox is now officially out of date. |
| 63 | The highly anticipated release of BusyBox 1.00 has arrived! |
| 64 | |
| 65 | <p> |
| 66 | |
| 67 | Over three years in development, BusyBox 1.00 represents a tremendous |
| 68 | improvement over the old 0.60.x stable series. Now featuring a Linux |
| 69 | KernelConf based configuration system (as used by the Linux kernel), |
| 70 | Linux 2.6 kernel support, many many new applets, and the development |
| 71 | work and testing of thousands of people from around the world. |
| 72 | |
| 73 | <p> |
| 74 | |
| 75 | If you are already using BusyBox, you are strongly encouraged to upgrade to |
| 76 | BusyBox 1.00. If you are considering developing an embedded Linux device |
| 77 | or software distribution, you may wish to investigate if using BusyBox is |
| 78 | right for your application. If you need help getting started using |
| 79 | BusyBox, if you wish to donate to help cover expenses, or if you find a bug |
| 80 | and need help reporting it, you are invited to visit the <a |
| 81 | href="FAQ.html">BusyBox FAQ</a>. |
| 82 | |
| 83 | <p> |
| 84 | |
| 85 | As usual you can <a href="downloads">download busybox here</a>. |
