    • 19 April 2000 -- syslogd bugfix +
      + Turns out that there was still a bug in busybox syslogd. + For example, with the following test app: +
      +	#include <syslog.h>
+
+	int do_log(char* msg, int delay)
+	{
+	    openlog("testlog", LOG_PID, LOG_DAEMON);
+	    while(1) {
+	        syslog(LOG_ERR, "%s: testing one, two, three\n", msg);
+	        sleep(delay);
+	    }
+	    closelog();
+	    return(0);
+	};
+
+	int main(void)
+	{
+	    if (fork()==0)
+	        do_log("A", 2);
+	    do_log("B", 3);
+	}
+
      + it should be logging stuff from both "A" and "B". As released in 0.43 only stuff + from "A" would have been logged. This means that if init tries to log something + while say ppp has the syslog open, init would block (which is bad, bad, bad). +

      + Karl M. Hegbloom has created a + fix for the problem. + Thanks Karl! + + +

    • 18 April 2000 -- BusyBox 0.43 released (finally!) +
      + I have finally gotten everything into a state where I feel pretty + good about things. This is definitely the most stable, solid release + so far. A lot of bugs have been fixed, and the following new apps + have been added: sh, basename, dirname, killall, uptime, + freeramdisk, tr, echo, test, and usleep. Tar has been completely + rewritten from scratch. Bss size has also been greatly reduced. + More details are available in the + changelog. + Oh, and as a special bonus, I wrote some fairly comprehensive + documentation, complete with examples and full usage information. + +

      + Many thanks go out to the fine people that have helped by submitting patches + and bug reports; particularly instrumental in helping for this release were + Karl Hegbloom, Pavel Roskin, Friedrich Vedder, Emanuele Caratti, + Bob Tinsley, Nicolas Pitre, Avery Pennarun, Arne Bernin, John Beppu, and Jim Gleason. + There were others so if I somehow forgot to mention you, I'm very sorry. +

      + + You can grab BusyBox 0.43 tarballs here. + +

    • 9 April 2000 -- BusyBox 0.43 pre release +
      + Unfortunately, I have not yet finished all the things I want to + do for BusyBox 0.43, so I am posting this pre-release for people + to poke at. This contains my complete rewrite of tar, which now weighs in at + 5k (7k with all options turned on) and works for reading and writing + tarballs (which it does correctly for everything I have been able to throw + at it). Tar also (optionally) supports the "--exclude" option (mainly because + the Linux Router Project folks asked for it). This also has a pre-release + of the micro shell I have been writing. This pre-release should be stable + enough for production use -- it just isn't a release since I have some structural + changes I still want to make. +

      + The pre-release can be found here. + Please let me know ASAP if you find any bugs. + +

    • 28 March 2000 -- Andersen Baby Boy release +
      + I am pleased to announce that on Tuesday March 28th at 5:48pm, weighing in at 7 + lbs. 12 oz, Micah Erik Andersen was born at LDS Hospital here in Salt Lake City. + He was born in the emergency room less then 5 minutes after we arrived -- and + it was such a relief that we even made it to the hospital at all. Despite the + fact that I was driving at an amazingly unlawful speed and honking at everybody + and thinking decidedly unkind thoughts about the people in our way, my wife + (inconsiderate of my feelings and complete lack of medical training) was lying + down in the back seat saying things like "I think I need to start pushing now" + (which she then proceeded to do despite my best encouraging statements to the + contrary). +

      + Anyway, I'm glad to note that despite the much-faster-than-we-were-expecting + labor, both Shaunalei and our new baby boy are doing wonderfully. +

      + So now that I am done with my excuse for the slow release cycle... + Progress on the next release of BusyBox has been slow but steady. I expect + to have a release sometime during the first week of April. This release will + include a number of important changes, including the addition of a shell, a + re-write of tar (to accommodate the Linux Router Project), and syslogd can now + accept multiple concurrent connections, fixing lots of unexpected blocking + problems. + + +

    • 11 February 2000 -- BusyBox 0.42 released +
      + + This is the most solid BusyBox release so far. Many, many + bugs have been fixed. See the +changelog for details. + + Of particular interest, init will now cleanly unmount + filesystems on reboot, cp and mv have been rewritten and + behave much better, and mount and umount no longer leak + loop devices. Many thanks go out to Randolph Chung, + Karl M. Hegbloom, Taketoshi Sano, and Pavel Roskin for + their hard work on this release of BusyBox. Please pound + on it and let me know if you find any bugs. + +

    • 19 January 2000 -- BusyBox 0.41 released +
      + + This release includes bugfixes to cp, mv, logger, true, false, + mkdir, syslogd, and init. New apps include wc, hostid, + logname, tty, whoami, and yes. New features include loop device + support in mount and umount, and better TERM handling by init. + The changelog can be found here. + +

    • 7 January 2000 -- BusyBox 0.40 released +
      + + This release includes bugfixes to init (now includes inittab support), + syslogd, head, logger, du, grep, cp, mv, sed, dmesg, ls, kill, gunzip, and mknod. + New apps include sort, uniq, lsmod, rmmod, fbset, and loadacm. + In particular, this release fixes an important bug in tar which + in some cases produced serious security problems. + As always, the changelog can be found here. + +

    • 11 December 1999 -- BusyBox Website +
      + I have received permission from Bruce Perens (the original author of BusyBox) + to set up this site as the new primary website for BusyBox. This website + will always contain pointers to the latest and greatest, and will also + contain the latest documentation on how to use BusyBox, what it can do, + what arguments its apps support, etc. + +

    • 10 December 1999 -- BusyBox 0.39 released +
      + This release includes fixes to init, reboot, halt, kill, and ls, and contains + the new apps ping, hostname, mkfifo, free, tail, du, tee, and head. A full + changelog can be found here. +

    • 5 December 1999 -- BusyBox 0.38 released +
      + This release includes fixes to tar, cat, ls, dd, rm, umount, find, df, + and make install, and includes new apps syslogd/klogd and logger. +
