| 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. |
| 52 | |
| 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> |
| 64 | |
| 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... |

| 93 | |
| 94 | The busybox development series has been under construction for |
| 95 | nearly two years now. Which is just entirely too long... So |
| 96 | it is with great pleasure that I announce the imminent release |
| 97 | of a new stable series. Due to the huge number of changes |
| 98 | since the last stable release (and the usual mindless version |
| 99 | number inflation) I am branding this new stable series verison |
| 100 | 1.0.x... |
| 101 | <p> |
| 102 | |
| 103 | The point of "-preX" versions is to get a larger group of |
| 104 | people and vendors testing, so any problems that turn up can be |
| 105 | fixed prior to the magic 1.0.0 release (which should happen |
| 106 | later this month)... I plan to release BusyBox 1.0.0-pre2 next |
| 107 | Monday (July 21st), and, if necessary, -pre3 on July 28th. |
| 108 | Hopefully (i.e. unless some horrible catastrophic problem turns |
| 109 | up) the final BusyBox 1.0.0 release should be ready by the end |
| 110 | of July. |
| 111 | <p> |
| 112 | |
| 113 | If you have submitted patches, and they are not in this release |
| 114 | and I have not emailed you explaining why your patch was |
| 115 | rejected, it is safe to say that I have lost your patch. That |
| 116 | happens sometimes. Please do <B>NOT</b> send all your patches, |
| 117 | support questions, etc, directly to Erik. I get hundreds of |
| 118 | emails every day (which is why I end up losing patches |
| 119 | sometimes in the flood)... The busybox mailing list is the |
| 120 | right place to send your patches, support questions, etc. |
| 121 | <p> |
| 122 | |
| 123 | I would like to especially thank Vladimir Oleynik (vodz), Glenn |
| 124 | McGrath (bug1), Robert Griebl (sandman), and Manuel Novoa III |
| 125 | (mjn3) for their significant efforts and contributions that |
| 126 | have made this release possible. |

| 130 | You don't really need to bother with the |

| 142 | |
| 143 | I am very pleased to announce that the BusyBox 0.60.5 (stable) |
| 144 | is now available for download. This is a bugfix release for |
| 145 | the stable series to address all the problems that have turned |
| 146 | up since the last release. Unfortunately, the previous release |
| 147 | had a few nasty bugs (i.e. init could deadlock, gunzip -c tried |
| 148 | to delete source files, cp -a wouldn't copy symlinks, and init |
| 149 | was not always providing controlling ttys when it should have). |
| 150 | I know I said that the previous release would be the end of the |
| 151 | 0.60.x series. Well, it turns out I'm a liar. But this time I |
| 152 | mean it (just like last time ;-). This will be the last |
| 153 | release for the 0.60.x series -- all further development work |

| 215 | <b>3 January 2002 -- Welcome to busybox.net!</b> |
| 216 | |
| 217 | <p>Thanks to the generosity of a number of busybox |
| 218 | users, we have been able to purchase busybox.net |
| 219 | (which is where you are probably reading this). |
| 220 | Right now, busybox.net and uclibc.org are both |
| 221 | living on my home system (at the end of my DSL |
| 222 | line). I apologize for the abrupt move off of |
| 223 | busybox.lineo.com. Unfortunately, I no longer have |
| 224 | the access needed to keep that system updated (for |
| 225 | example, you might notice the daily snapshots there |
| 226 | stopped some time ago).</p> |
| 227 | |
| 228 | <p>Busybox.net is currently hosted on my home |
| 229 | server, at the end of a DSL line. Unfortunately, |
| 230 | the load on them is quite heavy. To address this, |
| 231 | I'm trying to make arrangements to get busybox.net |
| 232 | co-located directly at an ISP. To assist in the |
| 233 | co-location effort, <a href= |
| 234 | "http://www.codepoet.org/~markw">Mark Whitley</a> |
| 235 | (author of busybox sed, cut, and grep) has donated |
| 236 | his <a href= |
| 237 | "http://www.netwinder.org/">NetWinder</a> computer |
| 238 | for hosting busybox.net and uclibc.org. Once this |
| 239 | system is co-located, the current speed problems |
| 240 | should be completely eliminated. Hopefully, too, |
| 241 | some of you will volunteer to set up some mirror |
| 242 | sites, to help to distribute the load a bit.</p> |

| 256 | --> |
| 257 | Since some people expressed concern over BusyBox |
| 258 | donations, let me assure you that no one is getting |
| 259 | rich here. All BusyBox and uClibc donations will be |
| 260 | spent paying for bandwidth and needed hardware |
| 261 | upgrades. For example, Mark's NetWinder currently |
| 262 | has just 64Meg of memory. As demonstrated when |
| 263 | google spidered the site the other day, 64 Megs in |
| 264 | not enough, so I'm going to be ordering 256Megs of |
| 265 | ram and a larger hard drive for the box today. So |
| 266 | far, donations received have been sufficient to |
| 267 | cover almost all expenses. In the future, we may |
| 268 | have co-location fees to worry about, but for now |
| 269 | we are ok. A <b>HUGE thank-you</b> goes out to |

| 277 | <p>We am very pleased to announce that the BusyBox |
| 278 | 0.60.2 (stable) is now released to the world. This |
| 279 | one is primarily a bugfix release for the stable |

| 281 | needs till we can get the nice new stuff we have |
| 282 | been working on in CVS ready to release (with the |
| 283 | wonderful new buildsystem). The biggest change in |
| 284 | this release (beyond bugfixes) is the fact that msh |
| 285 | (the minix shell) has been re-worked by Vladimir N. |
| 286 | Oleynik (vodz) and so it no longer crashes when |
| 287 | told to do complex things with backticks.</p> |
| 288 | |
| 289 | <p>This release has been tested on x86, ARM, and |
| 290 | powerpc using glibc 2.2.4, libc5, and uClibc, so it |
| 291 | should work with just about any Linux system you |
| 292 | throw it at. See the <a href= |
| 293 | "downloads/Changelog">changelog</a> for <small>most |

| 322 | I've contacted the current owner of busybox.net and he is willing |
| 323 | to sell the domain name -- for $250. He also owns busybox.org but |
| 324 | will not part with it... I will then need to pay the registry fee |
| 325 | for a couple of years and start paying for bandwidth, so this will |
| 326 | initially cost about $300. I would like to host busybox.net on my |
| 327 | home machine (codepoet.org) so I have full control over the system, |
| 328 | but to do that would require that I increase the level of bandwidth |
| 329 | I am paying for. Did you know that so far this month, there |
| 330 | have been over 1.4 Gigabytes of busybox ftp downloads? I don't |
| 331 | even <em>know</em> how much CVS bandwidth it requires. For the |
| 332 | time being, Lineo has continued to graciously provide this |
| 333 | bandwidth, despite the fact that I no longer work for them. If I |
| 334 | start running this all on my home machine, paying for the needed bandwidth |
| 335 | will start costing some money. |
| 336 | <p> |
| 337 | |
| 338 | I was going to pay it all myself, but my wife didn't like that |
| 339 | idea at all (big surprise). It turns out <insert argument |
| 340 | where she wins and I don't> she has better ideas |
| 341 | about what we should spend our money on that don't involve |
| 342 | busybox. She suggested I should ask for contributions on the |
| 343 | mailing list and web page. So... |
| 344 | <p> |
| 345 | |
| 346 | I am hoping that if everyone could contribute a bit, we could pick |
| 347 | up the busybox.net domain name and cover the bandwidth costs. I |
| 348 | know that busybox is being used by a lot of companies as well as |
| 349 | individuals -- hopefully people and companies that are willing to |
| 350 | contribute back a bit. So if everyone could please help out, that |
| 351 | would be wonderful! |

| 374 | <br> |
| 375 | I am very pleased to announce the immediate availability of |
| 376 | BusyBox 0.60.0. I have personally tested this release with libc5, glibc, |
| 377 | and <a href="http://uclibc.org/">uClibc</a> on |
| 378 | x86, ARM, and powerpc using linux 2.2 and 2.4, and I know a number |
| 379 | of people using it on everything from ia64 to m68k with great success. |
| 380 | Everything seems to be working very nicely now, so getting a nice |
| 381 | stable bug-free(tm) release out seems to be in order. This releases fixes |
| 382 | a memory leak in syslogd, a number of bugs in the ash and msh shells, and |
| 383 | cleans up a number of things. |
| 384 | |
| 385 | <p> |
| 386 | |
| 387 | Those wanting an easy way to test the 0.60.0 release with uClibc can |
| 388 | use <a href="http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/">User-Mode Linux</a> |
| 389 | to give it a try by downloading and compiling |
| 390 | <a href="ftp://busybox.net/buildroot.tar.gz">buildroot.tar.gz</a>. |

| 401 | Finally, In case you didn't notice anything odd about the |
| 402 | version number of this release, let me point out that this release |
| 403 | is <em>not</em> 0.53, because I bumped the version number up a |
| 404 | bit. This reflects the fact that this release is intended to form |
| 405 | a new stable BusyBox release series. If you need to rely on a |
| 406 | stable version of BusyBox, you should plan on using the stable |
| 407 | 0.60.x series. If bugs show up then I will release 0.60.1, then |
| 408 | 0.60.2, etc... This is also intended to deal with the fact that |
| 409 | the BusyBox build system will be getting a major overhaul for the |
| 410 | next release and I don't want that to break products that people |
| 411 | are shipping. To avoid that, the new build system will be |
| 412 | released as part of a new BusyBox development series that will |
| 413 | have some not-yet-decided-on odd version number. Once things |
| 414 | stabilize and the new build system is working for everyone, then |
| 415 | I will release that as a new stable release series. |

| 460 | <br> |
| 461 | |
| 462 | BusyBox 0.51 (the "rock-solid release") is now out there. This |
| 463 | release adds only 2 new applets: env and vi. The vi applet, |
| 464 | contributed by Sterling Huxley, is very functional, and is only |
| 465 | 22k. This release fixes 3 critical bugs in the 0.50 release. |
| 466 | There were 2 potential segfaults in lash (the busybox shell) in |
| 467 | the 0.50 release which are now fixed. Another critical bug in |
| 468 | 0.50 which is now fixed: syslogd from 0.50 could potentially |
| 469 | deadlock the init process and thereby break your entire system. |
| 470 | <p> |
| 471 | |
| 472 | There are a number of improvements in this release as well. For |
| 473 | one thing, the wget applet is greatly improved. Dmitry Zakharov |
| 474 | added FTP support, and Laurence Anderson make wget fully RFC |
| 475 | compliant for HTTP 1.1. The mechanism for including utility |
| 476 | functions in previous releases was clumsy and error prone. Now |
| 477 | all utility functions are part of a new libbb library, which makes |
| 478 | maintaining utility functions much simpler. And BusyBox now |
| 479 | compiles on itanium systems (thanks to the Debian itanium porters |
| 480 | for letting me use their system!). |

| 528 | lash (the busybox shell) is still with us, fixed up a bit so it |
| 529 | now behaves itself quite nicely. It really is quite usable as |

| 531 | Standard things like pipes, redirects, command line editing, and |
| 532 | environment variable expansion work great. But we have found that |

| 554 | |
| 555 | BusyBox 0.49 was supposed to have replaced lash, the BusyBox |

| 557 | Well, that simply didn't happen in time for this release. A new |
| 558 | shell that will eventually replace lash is already under |
| 559 | construction. This new shell is being developed by Larry |
| 560 | Doolittle, and could use all of our help. Please see the work in |
| 561 | progress on <a href="http://doolittle.faludi.com/~larry/parser.html">Larry's website</a> |

| 639 | <br> |
| 640 | Turns out that there was still a bug in busybox syslogd. |
| 641 | For example, with the following test app: |
| 642 | <pre> |
| 643 | #include <syslog.h> |
| 644 | |
| 645 | int do_log(char* msg, int delay) |
| 646 | { |
| 647 | openlog("testlog", LOG_PID, LOG_DAEMON); |
| 648 | while(1) { |
| 649 | syslog(LOG_ERR, "%s: testing one, two, three\n", msg); |
| 650 | sleep(delay); |
| 651 | } |
| 652 | closelog(); |
| 653 | return(0); |
| 654 | }; |
| 655 | |
| 656 | int main(void) |
| 657 | { |
| 658 | if (fork()==0) |
| 659 | do_log("A", 2); |
| 660 | do_log("B", 3); |
| 661 | } |
| 662 | </pre> |
| 663 | it should be logging stuff from both "A" and "B". As released in 0.43 only stuff |
| 664 | from "A" would have been logged. This means that if init tries to log something |
| 665 | while say ppp has the syslog open, init would block (which is bad, bad, bad). |

| 700 | tarballs (which it does correctly for everything I have been able to throw |
| 701 | at it). Tar also (optionally) supports the "--exclude" option (mainly because |
| 702 | the Linux Router Project folks asked for it). This also has a pre-release |
| 703 | of the micro shell I have been writing. This pre-release should be stable |
| 704 | enough for production use -- it just isn't a release since I have some structural |
| 705 | changes I still want to make. |

| 710 | <p> <li> <b>28 March 2000 -- Andersen Baby Boy release</b> |
| 711 | <br> |
| 712 | I am pleased to announce that on Tuesday March 28th at 5:48pm, weighing in at 7 |
| 713 | lbs. 12 oz, Micah Erik Andersen was born at LDS Hospital here in Salt Lake City. |
| 714 | He was born in the emergency room less then 5 minutes after we arrived -- and |
| 715 | it was such a relief that we even made it to the hospital at all. Despite the |
| 716 | fact that I was driving at an amazingly unlawful speed and honking at everybody |
| 717 | and thinking decidedly unkind thoughts about the people in our way, my wife |
| 718 | (inconsiderate of my feelings and complete lack of medical training) was lying |
| 719 | down in the back seat saying things like "I think I need to start pushing now" |
| 720 | (which she then proceeded to do despite my best encouraging statements to the |
| 721 | contrary). |
| 722 | <p> |
| 723 | Anyway, I'm glad to note that despite the much-faster-than-we-were-expecting |
| 724 | labor, both Shaunalei and our new baby boy are doing wonderfully. |
| 725 | <p> |
| 726 | So now that I am done with my excuse for the slow release cycle... |
| 727 | Progress on the next release of BusyBox has been slow but steady. I expect |
| 728 | to have a release sometime during the first week of April. This release will |
| 729 | include a number of important changes, including the addition of a shell, a |
| 730 | re-write of tar (to accommodate the Linux Router Project), and syslogd can now |
| 731 | accept multiple concurrent connections, fixing lots of unexpected blocking |
| 732 | problems. |
| 733 | |

| 735 | <p> <li> <b>11 February 2000 -- BusyBox 0.42 released</b> |
| 736 | <br> |
| 737 | |
| 738 | This is the most solid BusyBox release so far. Many, many |
| 739 | bugs have been fixed. See the |
Eric Andersen | 1b17b01 | 2002-03-05 15:55:59 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 740 | <a href="downloads/Changelog">changelog</a> for details. |
Eric Andersen | 766c012 | 2000-06-21 22:43:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 741 | |
| 742 | Of particular interest, init will now cleanly unmount |
| 743 | filesystems on reboot, cp and mv have been rewritten and |
| 744 | behave much better, and mount and umount no longer leak |
| 745 | loop devices. Many thanks go out to Randolph Chung, |
| 746 | Karl M. Hegbloom, Taketoshi Sano, and Pavel Roskin for |
| 747 | their hard work on this release of BusyBox. Please pound |
| 748 | on it and let me know if you find any bugs. |
