- <li><b>26 October 2002 -- BusyBox 0.60.5 released</b><p>
-
- I am very pleased to announce that the BusyBox 0.60.5 (stable)
- is now available for download. This is a bugfix release for
- the stable series to address all the problems that have turned
- up since the last release. Unfortunately, the previous release
- had a few nasty bugs (i.e. init could deadlock, gunzip -c tried
- to delete source files, cp -a wouldn't copy symlinks, and init
- was not always providing controlling ttys when it should have).
- I know I said that the previous release would be the end of the
- 0.60.x series. Well, it turns out I'm a liar. But this time I
- mean it (just like last time ;-). This will be the last
- release for the 0.60.x series -- all further development work
- will be done for the development busybox tree. Expect the development
- version to have its first real release very very soon now...
-
- <p>
- The <a href="downloads/Changelog.full">changelog</a> has all
- the details. As usual you can <a href="downloads">download busybox here</a>.

+ <li><b>15 July 2003 -- BusyBox 1.0.0-pre1 released</b><p>
+
+ The busybox development series has been under construction for
+ nearly two years now. Which is just entirely too long... So
+ it is with great pleasure that I announce the imminent release
+ of a new stable series. Due to the huge number of changes
+ since the last stable release (and the usual mindless version
+ number inflation) I am branding this new stable series verison
+ 1.0.x...
<p>
-
- <p>
- <li><b>18 September 2002 -- BusyBox 0.60.4 released</b><p>
-
- I am very pleased to announce that the BusyBox 0.60.4
- (stable) is now available for download. This is primarily
- a bugfix release for the stable series to address all
- the problems that have turned up since the last
- release. This will be the last release for the 0.60.x series.
- I mean it this time -- all further development work will be done
- on the development busybox tree, which is quite solid now and
- should soon be getting its first real release.
-
+ The point of "-preX" versions is to get a larger group of
+ people and vendors testing, so any problems that turn up can be
+ fixed prior to the magic 1.0.0 release (which should happen
+ later this month)... I plan to release BusyBox 1.0.0-pre2 next
+ Monday (July 21st), and, if necessary, -pre3 on July 28th.
+ Hopefully (i.e. unless some horrible catastrophic problem turns
+ up) the final BusyBox 1.0.0 release should be ready by the end
+ of July.
<p>
- The <a href="downloads/Changelog.full">changelog</a> has all
- the details. As usual you can <a href="downloads">download busybox here</a>.
- <p>Have Fun!
+
+ If you have submitted patches, and they are not in this release
+ and I have not emailed you explaining why your patch was
+ rejected, it is safe to say that I have lost your patch. That
+ happens sometimes. Please do <B>NOT</b> send all your patches,
+ support questions, etc, directly to Erik. I get hundreds of
+ emails every day (which is why I end up losing patches
+ sometimes in the flood)... The busybox mailing list is the
+ right place to send your patches, support questions, etc.
<p>
+ I would like to especially thank Vladimir Oleynik (vodz), Glenn
+ McGrath (bug1), Robert Griebl (sandman), and Manuel Novoa III
+ (mjn3) for their significant efforts and contributions that
+ have made this release possible.

- <li><b>27 April 2002 -- BusyBox 0.60.3 released</b><p>
-
- I am very pleased to announce that the BusyBox 0.60.3 (stable) is
- now available for download. This is primarily a bugfix release
- for the stable series. A number of problems have turned up since
- the last release, and this should address most of those problems.
- This should be the last release for the 0.60.x series. The
- development busybox tree has been progressing nicely, and will
- hopefully be ready to become the next stable release.
+ As usual you can <a href="downloads">download busybox here</a>.
+ You don't really need to bother with the
+ <a href="downloads/Changelog">changelog</a>, as the changes
+ vs the stable version are way too extensive to easily enumerate.
+ But you can take a look if you really want too.

- Busybox.net is now much more available, thanks to
- the fine folks at <a href= "http://i-netinnovations.com/">http://i-netinnovations.com/</a>
- who are providing hosting for busybox.net and
