| 45 | <br> |
| 46 | |
| 47 | BusyBox 0.51 (the "rock-solid release") is now out there. This |
| 48 | release adds only 2 new applets: env and vi. The vi applet, |
| 49 | contributed by Sterling Huxley, is very functional, and is only |
| 50 | 22k. This release fixes 3 critical bugs in the 0.50 release. |
| 51 | There were 2 potential segfaults in lash (the busybox shell) in |
| 52 | the 0.50 release which are now fixed. Another critical bug in |
| 53 | 0.50 which is now fixed: syslogd from 0.50 could potentially |
| 54 | deadlock the init process and thereby break your entire system. |
| 55 | <p> |
| 56 | |
| 57 | There are a number of improvements in this release as well. For |
| 58 | one thing, the wget applet is greatly improved. Dmitry Zakharov |
| 59 | added FTP support, and Laurence Anderson make wget fully RFC |
| 60 | compliant for HTTP 1.1. The mechanism for including utility |
| 61 | functions in previous releases was clumsy and error prone. Now |
| 62 | all utility functions are part of a new libbb library, which makes |
| 63 | maintaining utility functions much simpler. And BusyBox now |
| 64 | compiles on itanium systems (thanks to the Debian itanium porters |
| 65 | for letting me use their system!). |

| 113 | lash (the busybox shell) is still with us, fixed up a bit so it |
| 114 | now behaves itself quite nicely. It really is quite usable as |
| 115 | long as you don't expect it to provide Bourne shell grammer. |
| 116 | Standard things like pipes, redirects, command line editing, and |
| 117 | environment variable expansion work great. But we have found that |
| 118 | this shell, while very usable, does not provide an extensible |
| 119 | framework for adding in full Bourne shell behavior. So the first order of |
| 120 | business as we begin working on the next BusyBox release will be to merge in the new shell |

| 138 | <em>Special Note</em><br> |
| 139 | |
| 140 | BusyBox 0.49 was supposed to have replaced lash, the BusyBox |
| 141 | shell, with a new shell that understands full Bourne shell/Posix shell grammer. |
| 142 | Well, that simply didn't happen in time for this release. A new |
| 143 | shell that will eventually replace lash is already under |
| 144 | construction. This new shell is being developed by Larry |
| 145 | Doolittle, and could use all of our help. Please see the work in |
| 146 | progress on <a href="http://doolittle.faludi.com/~larry/parser.html">Larry's website</a> |
| 147 | and help out if you can. This shell will be included in the next |
| 148 | release of BusyBox. |

| 155 | rigorous testing, and looks very, very clean. The usual tar |

| 158 | that 'tar -X' and 'tar --exclude' are both now in. Applets are |
| 159 | now looked up using a binary search making lash (the busybox |

| 224 | <br> |
| 225 | Turns out that there was still a bug in busybox syslogd. |
| 226 | For example, with the following test app: |
| 227 | <pre> |
| 228 | #include <syslog.h> |
| 229 | |
| 230 | int do_log(char* msg, int delay) |
| 231 | { |
| 232 | openlog("testlog", LOG_PID, LOG_DAEMON); |
| 233 | while(1) { |
| 234 | syslog(LOG_ERR, "%s: testing one, two, three\n", msg); |
| 235 | sleep(delay); |
| 236 | } |
| 237 | closelog(); |
| 238 | return(0); |
| 239 | }; |
| 240 | |
| 241 | int main(void) |
| 242 | { |
| 243 | if (fork()==0) |
| 244 | do_log("A", 2); |
| 245 | do_log("B", 3); |
| 246 | } |
| 247 | </pre> |
| 248 | it should be logging stuff from both "A" and "B". As released in 0.43 only stuff |
| 249 | from "A" would have been logged. This means that if init tries to log something |
| 250 | while say ppp has the syslog open, init would block (which is bad, bad, bad). |

| 286 | tarballs (which it does correctly for everything I have been able to throw |
| 287 | at it). Tar also (optionally) supports the "--exclude" option (mainly because |
| 288 | the Linux Router Project folks asked for it). This also has a pre-release |
| 289 | of the micro shell I have been writing. This pre-release should be stable |

| 291 | changes I still want to make. |

| 296 | <p> <li> <b>28 March 2000 -- Andersen Baby Boy release</b> |
| 297 | <br> |
| 298 | I am pleased to announce that on Tuesday March 28th at 5:48pm, weighing in at 7 |
| 299 | lbs. 12 oz, Micah Erik Andersen was born at LDS Hospital here in Salt Lake City. |
| 300 | He was born in the emergency room less then 5 minutes after we arrived -- and |
| 301 | it was such a relief that we even made it to the hospital at all. Despite the |
| 302 | fact that I was driving at an amazingly unlawful speed and honking at everybody |
| 303 | and thinking decidedly unkind thoughts about the people in our way, my wife |
| 304 | (inconsiderate of my feelings and complete lack of medical training) was lying |
| 305 | down in the back seat saying things like "I think I need to start pushing now" |
| 306 | (which she then proceeded to do despite my best encouraging statements to the |
| 307 | contrary). |
| 308 | <p> |
| 309 | Anyway, I'm glad to note that despite the much-faster-than-we-were-expecting |
| 310 | labor, both Shaunalei and our new baby boy are doing wonderfully. |
| 311 | <p> |
| 312 | So now that I am done with my excuse for the slow release cycle... |
| 313 | Progress on the next release of BusyBox has been slow but steady. I expect |
| 314 | to have a release sometime during the first week of April. This release will |
| 315 | include a number of important changes, including the addition of a shell, a |
| 316 | re-write of tar (to accommodate the Linux Router Project), and syslogd can now |
| 317 | accept multiple concurrent connections, fixing lots of unexpected blocking |
| 318 | problems. |

| 330 | behave much better, and mount and umount no longer leak |
| 331 | loop devices. Many thanks go out to Randolph Chung, |

| 333 | their hard work on this release of BusyBox. Please pound |
| 334 | on it and let me know if you find any bugs. |
