+ <li><b>30 July 2003 -- BusyBox 1.0.0-pre2 released</b><p>
+
+ Here goes another pre release for the new BusyBox stable
+ series. The last prerelease (pre1) was given quite a lot of
+ testing (thanks everyone!) which has helped turn up a number of
+ bugs, and these problems have now been fixed.
+
+ <p>
+
+ Highlights of -pre2 include updating the 'ash' shell to sync up
+ with the Debian 'dash' shell, a new 'hdparm' applet was added,
+ init again supports pivot_root, The 'reboot' 'halt' and
+ 'poweroff' applets can now be used without using busybox init.
+ an ifconfig buffer overflow was fixed, losetup now allows
+ read-write loop devices, uClinux daemon support was added, the
+ 'watchdog', 'fdisk', and 'kill' applets were rewritten, there were
+ tons of doc updates, and there were many other bugs fixed.
+ <p>
+
+ If you have submitted a patch and it is not included in this
+ release and Erik has not emailed you explaining why your patch
+ was rejected, it is safe to say that he has lost your patch.
+ That happens sometimes. Please re-submit your patch to the
+ BusyBox mailing list.
+ <p>
+
+ The point of the "-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 final 1.0.0 release. The main feature that
+ is still still on the TODO list before the final BusyBox 1.0.0
+ release is adding module support for the new 2.6.x kernels. If
+ necessary, a -pre3 BusyBox release will happen on August 6th.
+ Hopefully (i.e. unless some horrible catastrophic problem
+ turns up) the final BusyBox 1.0.0 release will be ready by
+ then...
+ <p>
+
+ The <a href="downloads/Changelog">changelog</a> has all
+ the details. As usual you can <a href="downloads">download busybox here</a>.
+
+ <p>Have Fun!
