| 37 | BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single |
| 38 | small executable. It provides minimalist replacements for most of the utilities |
| 39 | you usually find in fileutils, shellutils, findutils, textutils, grep, gzip, |
Eric Andersen | 8ec10a9 | 2001-01-27 09:33:39 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 40 | tar, etc. BusyBox provides a fairly complete POSIX environment for any small or |
| 41 | embedded system. The utilities in BusyBox generally have fewer options than |
| 42 | their full featured GNU cousins; however, the options that are included provide |
Erik Andersen | 330fd2b | 2000-05-19 05:35:19 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 43 | the expected functionality and behave very much like their GNU counterparts. |
| 44 | <p> |
| 45 | BusyBox has been written with size-optimization and limited resources in mind. |
| 46 | It is also extremely modular so you can easily include or exclude commands (or |
Eric Andersen | 8ec10a9 | 2001-01-27 09:33:39 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 47 | features) at compile time. This makes it easy to customize your embedded |
Eric Andersen | 0958093 | 2001-04-10 20:10:55 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 48 | systems. To create a working system, just add /dev, a kernel, and a shell. |
| 49 | For a really minimal system, you can even use the busybox shell (not Bourne compatible, but very small and quite usable), and the busybox vi editor. |

| 91 | <p> (Note that while the number of applets in Busybox has increased, you |

| 97 | <br> |
| 98 | |
| 99 | BusyBox 0.51 (the "rock-solid release") is now out there. This |
| 100 | release adds only 2 new applets: env and vi. The vi applet, |
| 101 | contributed by Sterling Huxley, is very functional, and is only |
| 102 | 22k. This release fixes 3 critical bugs in the 0.50 release. |
| 103 | There were 2 potential segfaults in lash (the busybox shell) in |
| 104 | the 0.50 release which are now fixed. Another critical bug in |
| 105 | 0.50 which is now fixed: syslogd from 0.50 could potentially |
| 106 | deadlock the init process and thereby break your entire system. |
| 107 | <p> |
| 108 | |
| 109 | There are a number of improvements in this release as well. For |
| 110 | one thing, the wget applet is greatly improved. Dmitry Zakharov |
| 111 | added FTP support, and Laurence Anderson make wget fully RFC |
| 112 | compliant for HTTP 1.1. The mechanism for including utility |
| 113 | functions in previous releases was clumsy and error prone. Now |
| 114 | all utility functions are part of a new libbb library, which makes |
| 115 | maintaining utility functions much simpler. And BusyBox now |
| 116 | compiles on itanium systems (thanks to the Debian itanium porters |
| 117 | for letting me use their system!). |
| 118 | <p> |
| 119 | You can read the |
| 120 | <a href="ftp://oss.lineo.com/busybox/Changelog">changelog</a> for |

| 156 | <br> |
| 157 | |
| 158 | This release adds several new applets including ifconfig, route, pivot_root, stty, |
| 159 | and tftp, and also fixes tons of bugs. Tab completion in the |
| 160 | shell is now working very well, and the shell's environment variable |
| 161 | expansion was fixed. Tons of other things were fixed or made |
| 162 | smaller. For a fairly complete overview, see the |
| 163 | <a href="ftp://oss.lineo.com/busybox/Changelog">changelog</a>. |
| 164 | <p> |
| 165 | lash (the busybox shell) is still with us, fixed up a bit so it |
| 166 | now behaves itself quite nicely. It really is quite usable as |
| 167 | long as you don't expect it to provide Bourne shell grammer. |
| 168 | Standard things like pipes, redirects, command line editing, and |
| 169 | environment variable expansion work great. But we have found that |
| 170 | this shell, while very usable, does not provide an extensible |
| 171 | framework for adding in full Bourne shell behavior. So the first order of |
| 172 | business as we begin working on the next BusyBox release will be to merge in the new shell |

| 190 | <em>Special Note</em><br> |
| 191 | |
| 192 | BusyBox 0.49 was supposed to have replaced lash, the BusyBox |
| 193 | shell, with a new shell that understands full Bourne shell/Posix shell grammer. |
| 194 | Well, that simply didn't happen in time for this release. A new |
| 195 | shell that will eventually replace lash is already under |
| 196 | construction. This new shell is being developed by Larry |
| 197 | Doolittle, and could use all of our help. Please see the work in |
| 198 | progress on <a href="http://doolittle.faludi.com/~larry/parser.html">Larry's website</a> |
| 199 | and help out if you can. This shell will be included in the next |
| 200 | release of BusyBox. |
