It provides minimalist replacements for most of the utilities +you usually find in fileutils, shellutils, findutils, textutils, grep, gzip, +tar, etc. BusyBox provides a fairly complete POSIX environment for any small or +embedded system. The utilities in BusyBox generally have fewer options than +their full featured GNU cousins; however, the options that are included provide +the expected functionality and behave very much like their GNU counterparts. +<p> +BusyBox has been written with size-optimization and limited resources in mind. +It is also extremely modular so you can easily include or exclude commands (or +features) at compile time. This makes it easy to customize your embedded +systems. To create a working system, just add /dev, /etc, and a kernel. +<p> + +BusyBox is now maintained by +<a href="http://codepoet.org/andersen/erik/erik.html"> +Erik Andersen</a>, and its ongoing development is being sponsored by +<a href="http://www.lineo.com/">Lineo</a>. +<p> +BusyBox is licensed under the +<a href="http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html">GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE</a>. +<p> + + +<h3> Screenshot </h3> + +<p> Because everybody loves screenshots, a screenshot of BusyBox +is now available <a href="screenshot.html">right here</a>. + + +<H3>Mailing List Information</h3> +BusyBox now has a <a href="http://opensource.lineo.com/lists/busybox/">mailing list</a>! +To subscribe, go and visit <a href="http://opensource.lineo.com/mailman/listinfo/busybox">this page</a>. + +<!-- Begin Latest News section --> + +<TR><TD BGCOLOR="#ccccc0" ALIGN=center> + <A NAME="news"> + <BIG><B> + Latest News + </B></BIG> + </A> +</TD></TR> +<TR><TD BGCOLOR="#eeeee0"> + +<ul> + + <li> <b>2 August 2001 -- BusyBox 0.60.0 released</b> + <br> + I am very pleased to announce the immediate availability of + BusyBox 0.60.0. I have personally tested this release with libc5, glibc, + and <a href="http://cvs.uclinux.org/uClibc.html">uClibc</a> on + x86, ARM, and powerpc using linux 2.2 and 2.4, and I know a number + of people using it on everything from ia64 to m68k with great success. + Everything seems to be working very nicely now, so getting a nice + stable bug-free(tm) release out seems to be in order. This releases fixes + a memory leak in syslogd, a number of bugs in the ash and msh shells, and + cleans up a number of things. + + <p> + + Those wanting an easy way to test the 0.60.0 release with uClibc can + use <a href="http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/">User-Mode Linux</a> + to give it a try by downloading and compiling + <a href="ftp://oss.lineo.com/buildroot.tar.gz">buildroot.tar.gz</a>. + You don't have to be root or reboot your machine to run test this way. + Preconfigured User-Mode Linux kernel source is also on oss.lineo.com. + <p> + Another cool thing is the nifty <a href="ftp://oss.lineo.com/busybox/tutorial/index.html"> + BusyBox Tutorial</a> contributed by K Computing. This requires + a ShockWave plugin (or standalone viewer), so you may want to grab the + the GPLed shockwave viewer from <a href="http://www.swift-tools.com/Flash/flash-0.4.10.tgz">here</a> + to view the tutorial. + <p> + + Finally, In case you didn't notice anything odd about the + version number of this release, let me point out that this release + is <em>not</em> 0.53, because I bumped the version number up a + bit. This reflects the fact that this release is intended to form + a new stable BusyBox release series. If you need to rely on a + stable version of BusyBox, you should plan on using the stable + 0.60.x series. If bugs show up then I will release 0.60.1, then + 0.60.2, etc... This is also intended to deal with the fact that + the BusyBox build system will be getting a major overhaul for the + next release and I don't want that to break products that people + are shipping. To avoid that, the new build system will be + released as part of a new BusyBox development series that will + have some not-yet-decided-on odd version number. Once things + stabilize and the new build system is working for everyone, then + I will release that as a new stable release series. + + <p> + The + <a href="ftp://oss.lineo.com/busybox/Changelog">changelog</a> has all + the details. As usual BusyBox 0.60.0 can be downloaded from + <a href="ftp://oss.lineo.com/busybox">ftp://oss.lineo.com/busybox</a>. + <p>Have Fun! + <p> + + + <li> <b>7 July 2001 -- BusyBox 0.52 released</b> + <br> + + I am very pleased to announce the immediate availability of + BusyBox 0.52 (the "new-and-improved rock-solid release"). This + release is the result of <em>many</em> hours of work and has tons + of bugfixes, optimizations, and cleanups. This release adds + several new applets, including several new shells (such as hush, msh, + and ash). + + <p> + The + <a href="ftp://oss.lineo.com/busybox/Changelog">changelog</a> covers + some of the more obvious details, but there are many many things that + are not mentioned, but have been improved in subtle ways.
