<li><b>20 July 2004 -- BusyBox 1.0.0-rc1 released</b><p>
Here goes release candidate 1... This fixes all (most?) of the problems
that have turned up since -pre10. In particular, loading and unloading of
kernel modules with 2.6.x kernels should be working much better.
<p>
I <b>really</b> want to get BusyBox 1.0.0 released soon and I see no real
reason why the 1.0.0 release shouldn't happen with things pretty much as
is. BusyBox is in good shape at the moment, and it works nicely for
everything that I'm doing with it. And from the reports I've been getting,
it works nicely for what most everyone else is doing with it as well.
There will eventually be a 1.0.1 anyway, so we might as well get on with
it. No BusyBox is not perfect. No piece of software ever is. And while
there is still plenty that can be done to improve things, most of that work
is waiting till we can get a solid 1.0.0 release out the door....
<p>
Please do not bother to send in patches adding cool new features at this
time. Only bug-fix patches will be accepted. If you have submitted a
bug-fixing patch to the busybox mailing list and no one has emailed you
explaining why your patch was rejected, it is safe to say that your patch
has been lost or forgotten. That happens sometimes. Please re-submit your
bug-fixing patch to the BusyBox mailing list, and be sure to put "[PATCH]"
at the beginning of the email subject line!

On a less happy note, My 92 year old grandmother (my dad's mom) passed away
yesterday (June 19th). The funeral will be Thursday in a little town about
2 hours south of my home. I've checked and there is absolutely no way I
could be back in time for the funeral if I attend <a
href="http://www.linuxsymposium.org/2004/">OLS</a> and give my presentation
as scheduled.
<p>
As such, it is with great reluctance and sadness that I have come
to the conclusion I will have to make my appologies and skip OLS
this year.

<li><b>13 April 2004 -- BusyBox 1.0.0-pre10 released</b><p>
Ok, I lied. It turns out that -pre9 will not be the final BusyBox
pre-release. With any luck however -pre10 will be, since I <b>really</b>
want to get BusyBox 1.0.0 released very soon. As usual, please do not
bother to send in patches adding cool new features at this time. Only
bug-fix patches will be accepted. It would also be <b>very</b> helpful if
people could continue to review the BusyBox documentation and submit
improvements.

<p>
<li><b>6 April 2004 -- BusyBox 1.0.0-pre9 released</b><p>
Here goes the final BusyBox pre-release... This is your last chance for
bug fixes. With luck this will be released as BusyBox 1.0.0 later this
week. Please do not bother to send in patches adding cool new features at
this time. Only bug-fix patches will be accepted. It would also be
<b>very</b> helpful if people could help review the BusyBox documentation
and submit improvements. I've spent a lot of time updating the
documentation to make it better match reality, but I could really use some
assistance in checking that the features supported by the various applets
match the features listed in the documentation.
<p>
I had hoped to get this released a month ago, but
<a href="http://codepoet.org/gallery/baby_peter/img_1796">
another release on 1 March 2004</a> has kept me busy...

<p>
<li><b>23 February 2004 -- BusyBox 1.0.0-pre8 released</b><p>
Here goes yet another BusyBox pre-release... Please do not bother to send
in patches supplying new features at this time. Only bug-fix patches will
be accepted. If you have a cool new feature you would like to see
supported, or if you have an amazing new applet you would like to submit,
please wait and submit such things later. We really want to get a release
out we can all be proud of. We are still aiming to finish off the -pre
series in February and move on to the final 1.0.0 release... So if you
spot any bugs, now would be an excellent time to send in a fix to the
busybox mailing list. It would also be <b>very</b> helpful if people could
help review the BusyBox documentation and submit improvements. It would be
especially helpful if people could check that the features supported by the
various applets match the features listed in the documentation.
