- 23 December 2003 -- BusyBox 1.0.0-pre5 released

  Here goes the next pre-release for the new BusyBox stable series. The most obvious thing in this release is a fix for a terribly stupid bug in mount that prevented it from working properly unless you specified the filesystem type. This release also fixes a few compile problems, updates udhcp, fixes a silly bug in fdisk, fixes ifup/ifdown to behave like the Debian version, updates devfsd, updates the 2.6.x modutils support, add a new 'rx' applet, removes the obsolete 'loadacm' applet, fixes a few tar bugs, fixes a sed bug, and a few other odd fixes.

  If you see any problems, of have suggestions to make, as always, please feel free to send an email to the busybox mailing list.

  The changelog has all the details. And as usual you can download busybox here.

  Have Fun!

  Here goes the fourth pre-release for the new BusyBox stable series. This release includes major rework to sed, lots of rework on tar, a new tiny implementation of bunzip2, a new devfsd applet, support for 2.6.x kernel modules, updates to the ash shell, sha1sum and md5sum have been merged into a common applet, the dpkg applets has been cleaned up, and tons of random bugs have been fixed. Thanks everyone for all the testing, bug reports, and patches! Once again, a big thank-you goes to Glenn McGrath (bug1) for stepping in and helping get patches merged!

  And of course, if you are reading this, you might have noticed the busybox website has been completely reworked. Hopefully things are now somewhat easier to navigate... If you see any problems, of have suggestions to make, as always, please feel free to send an email to the busybox mailing list.
