| 12 | <p><b>January 2, 2008</b> - And <a href=downloads/toybox-0.0.4.tar.bz2>toybox-0.0.4.tar.bz2</a> is out. |
| 13 | The new applets this time around include basename, chroot, dirname, dmesg, |
| 14 | help, mkfifo, netcat, patch, sha1sum, touch, and tty.</p> |
| 15 | |
| 16 | <p>Note that this "touch" includes -l to set the length, which can truncate |
| 17 | a file or create a commpletely sparse file, good for filesystem images.</p> |
| 18 | |
| 19 | <p>Expect the next release in about 6 months.</p> |
| 20 | |
| 21 | <p><b>December 12, 2007</b> - Updated the list of implemented applications, |
| 22 | put up a <a href=todo.txt>todo list</a> and <a href=code.html>infrastructure |
| 23 | documentation</a>. Expect another release towards the end of the month.</p> |
| 24 | |
| 25 | <p><b>June 18, 2007</b> - Put out |
| 26 | <a href=downloads/toybox-0.0.3.tar.bz2>toybox-0.0.3.tar.bz2</a> since it's |
| 27 | been too long since I did something like that. This one implements |
| 28 | catv, count, df, echo, false, oneit, pwd, sleep, sync, toysh, true, which, |
| 29 | and yes (which is what "make defconfig" enables). There are several other |
| 30 | commands not enabled by defconfig, because they don't really work yet.</p> |
| 31 | |
| 32 | <p>Most of the general infrastructure's there now, although lots of tweaking |
| 33 | and optimizing is still needed. The test suite is skeletal and not entirely |
| 34 | checked in yet, but I'm working on that.</p> |
| 35 | |
| 36 | <p>I don't have nearly as much time to work on this as I'd like, but I'm making |
| 37 | a little progress.</p> |
| 38 | |
| 39 | <p><b>January 31, 2007</b> - |
| 40 | Toybox <a href=downloads/toybox-0.0.2.tar.bz2>0.0.2 release</a>. |
| 41 | Implements count, yes, pwd, echo, bzcat, catv, oneit, and an unfinished |
| 42 | skeleton of mke2fs. Adds argument parsing logic and bunzip code to library. |
| 43 | Now configured with menuconfig. Adds "make baseline" and "make bloatcheck" |
| 44 | using Matt Mackall's bloat-o-meter, and scripts/showasm.</p> |
| 45 | |
| 46 | <p>Screwing up the web page a bit, adding an index bar along the side |
| 47 | which doesn't properly connect up to anything yet. (Busy implementing |
| 48 | mke2fs and gene2fs.)</p> |
| 49 | |
| 50 | <p><b>October 30, 2006</b> - |
| 51 | Toybox <a href=downloads/toybox-0.0.1.tar.bz2>0.0.1 release</a>. Implements |
| 52 | df, a skeletal toysh, and some library functions. Proof of concept, really.</p> |
| 53 | |
| 54 | <p><b>September 7, 2006</b> - |
| 55 | Project launched, first commit to mercurial archive.</p> |
