<li><b>30 January 2004 -- BusyBox 1.0.0-pre6 released</b><p>
Here goes the next pre-release for the new BusyBox stable
series. This release adds a number of size optimizations,
updates udhcp, fixes up 2.6 modutils support, updates ash
and the shell command line editing, as well as a pile of
bug fixes both large and small. Things appear to be
settling down now, so with a bit of luck and some testing
perhaps we can finish off the -pre series in February and
move on to the final 1.0.0 release... If you see any
problems, of have suggestions to make, as always, please
feel free to email the busybox mailing list.
<p>
People who rely on the <a href= "downloads/snapshots/">daily BusyBox snapshots</a>
should be aware that snapshots of the old busybox 0.60.x
series are no longer available. Daily snapshots are now
only available for the BusyBox 1.0.0 series, and now use
the naming scheme "busybox-&lt;date&gt;.tar.bz2". Please
adjust any build scripts using the old naming scheme accordingly.
<p>
The <a href="downloads/Changelog">changelog</a> has all
the details. And as usual you can

<p>Have Fun!

<li><b>23 December 2003 -- BusyBox 1.0.0-pre5 released</b><p>
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.

<li><b>10 December 2003 -- BusyBox 1.0.0-pre4 released</b><p>
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!
<p>
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.
