  <li><b>13 January 2005 -- Bug and Patch Tracking</b><p>

    Bug reports sometimes get lost when posted to the mailing list.  The
    developers of BusyBox are busy people, and have only so much they can keep
    in their brains at a time. In my case, I'm lucky if I can remember my own
    name, much less a bug report posted last week... To prevent your bug report
    from getting lost, if you find a bug in BusyBox, please use the 
    <a href="http://bugs.busybox.net/">shiny new Bug and Patch Tracking System</a>
    to post all the gory details.

    <p>

    The same applies to patches... Regardless of whether your patch
    is a bug fix or adds spify new features, please post your patch
    to the Bug and Patch Tracking System to make certain it is
    properly considered.


  <p>
  <li><b>13 October 2004 -- BusyBox 1.00 released</b><p>

    When you take a careful look at nearly every embedded Linux device or
    software distribution shipping today, you will find a copy of BusyBox.
    With countless routers, set top boxes, wireless access points, PDAs, and
    who knows what else, the future for Linux and BusyBox on embedded devices
    is looking very bright.

    <p>

    It is therefore with great satisfaction that I declare each and every
    device already shipping with BusyBox is now officially out of date.
    The highly anticipated release of BusyBox 1.00 has arrived!

    <p>

    Over three years in development, BusyBox 1.00 represents a tremendous
    improvement over the old 0.60.x stable series.  Now featuring a Linux
    KernelConf based configuration system (as used by the Linux kernel),
    Linux 2.6 kernel support, many many new applets, and the development
    work and testing of thousands of people from around the world.

    <p>

    If you are already using BusyBox, you are strongly encouraged to upgrade to
    BusyBox 1.00.  If you are considering developing an embedded Linux device
    or software distribution, you may wish to investigate if using BusyBox is
    right for your application.  If you need help getting started using
    BusyBox, if you wish to donate to help cover expenses, or if you find a bug
    and need help reporting it, you are invited to visit the <a
    href="FAQ.html">BusyBox FAQ</a>.

    <p>

    As usual you can <a href="downloads">download busybox here</a>.

    <p>Have Fun!
