- <p> <li> <b>19 April 2000 -- syslogd bugfix</b>
- <br>
- Turns out that there was still a bug in busybox syslogd.
- For example, with the following test app:
-<pre>
- #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);
- }
-</pre>
- 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).
- <p>
- Karl M. Hegbloom has created a
- <a href="ftp://ftp.lineo.com/pub/busybox/busybox-0.43-syslog_patch">fix for the problem</a>.
- Thanks Karl!
-
-
- <p> <li> <b>18 April 2000 -- BusyBox 0.43 released (finally!)</b>
- <br>
- 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
- <a href="ftp://ftp.lineo.com/pub/busybox/Changelog">changelog</a>.
- Oh, and as a special bonus, I wrote some fairly comprehensive
- <em>documentation</em>, complete with examples and full usage information.
-
- <p>
- 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.

- <p> <li> <b>9 April 2000 -- BusyBox 0.43 pre release</b>
- <br>
- 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.
- <p>
- The pre-release can be found <a href="ftp://ftp.lineo.com/pub/busybox/">here</a>.
- Please let me know ASAP if you find <em>any</em> bugs.

- <p> <li> <b>28 March 2000 -- Andersen Baby Boy release</b>
- <br>
- 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).
- <p>
- 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.
- <p>
- 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.

- <p> <li> <b>11 February 2000 -- BusyBox 0.42 released</b>
+ <p> <li> <b>21 June 2000 -- BusyBox 0.45 released</b>
<br>
- This is the most solid BusyBox release so far. Many, many
- bugs have been fixed. See the
-<a href="ftp://ftp.lineo.com/pub/busybox/Changelog">changelog</a> for details.
+ This release has been slow in coming, but is very solid at this
+ point. BusyBox now supports libc5 as well as GNU libc. This
+ release provides the following new apps: cut, tr, insmod, ar,
+ mktemp, ,setkeycodes md5sum, uuencode, uudecode, which , and
+ telnet. There are bug fixes for just about every app as well (see
+ the <a href="ftp://ftp.lineo.com/pub/busybox/Changelog">changelog</a> for
+ details).
+ <p>
+ Also, some exciting infrastructure news! Busybox now has its own
+ <a href="http://opensource.lineo.com/lists/busybox/">mailing list</a>,
+ publically browsable
+ <a href="http://opensource.lineo.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb/busybox/">CVS tree</a>,
+ anonymous
+ <a href="http://opensource.lineo.com/cvs_anon.html">CVS access</a>, and
+ for those that are actively contributing there is even
+ <a href="http://opensource.lineo.com/cvs_write.html">CVS write access</a>.
+ I think this will be a huge help to the ongoing development of BusyBox.
+ <p>
+ Many thanks go out to the many people that have contributed to this release
+ of BusyBox!
- 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.
