- <li> <b>10 April 2001 -- BusyBox 0.51 released</b>
- <br>
-
- BusyBox 0.51 (the "rock-solid release") is now out there. This
- release adds only 2 new applets: env and vi. The vi applet,
- contributed by Sterling Huxley, is very functional, and is only
- 22k. This release fixes 3 critical bugs in the 0.50 release.
- There were 2 potential segfaults in lash (the busybox shell) in
- the 0.50 release which are now fixed. Another critical bug in
- 0.50 which is now fixed: syslogd from 0.50 could potentially
- deadlock the init process and thereby break your entire system.
- <p>
-
- There are a number of improvements in this release as well. For
- one thing, the wget applet is greatly improved. Dmitry Zakharov
- added FTP support, and Laurence Anderson make wget fully RFC
- compliant for HTTP 1.1. The mechanism for including utility
- functions in previous releases was clumsy and error prone. Now
- all utility functions are part of a new libbb library, which makes
- maintaining utility functions much simpler. And BusyBox now
- compiles on itanium systems (thanks to the Debian itanium porters
- for letting me use their system!).
- <p>
- You can read the
- <a href="ftp://oss.lineo.com/busybox/Changelog">changelog</a> for
- complete details. BusyBox 0.51 can be downloaded from
- <a href="ftp://oss.lineo.com/busybox">ftp://oss.lineo.com/busybox</a>.
