It provides minimalist + replacements for most of the utilities you usually find in GNU + fileutils, shellutils, etc. 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. + BusyBox provides a fairly complete POSIX environment for any + small or embedded system. + + <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.

The last prerelease (pre1) was given quite a lot of + testing (thanks everyone!) which has helped turn up a number of + bugs, and these problems have now been fixed. + + <p> + + Highlights of -pre2 include updating the 'ash' shell to sync up + with the Debian 'dash' shell, a new 'hdparm' applet was added, + init again supports pivot_root, The 'reboot' 'halt' and + 'poweroff' applets can now be used without using busybox init. + an ifconfig buffer overflow was fixed, losetup now allows + read-write loop devices, uClinux daemon support was added, the + 'watchdog', 'fdisk', and 'kill' applets were rewritten, there were + tons of doc updates, and there were many other bugs fixed. + <p> + + If you have submitted a patch and it is not included in this + release and Erik has not emailed you explaining why your patch + was rejected, it is safe to say that he has lost your patch. + That happens sometimes. Please re-submit your patch to the + BusyBox mailing list. + <p> + + The point of the "-preX" versions is to get a larger group of + people and vendors testing, so any problems that turn up can be + fixed prior to the final 1.0.0 release. The main feature that + is still still on the TODO list before the final BusyBox 1.0.0 + release is adding module support for the new 2.6.x kernels. If + necessary, a -pre3 BusyBox release will happen on August 6th. + Hopefully (i.e. unless some horrible catastrophic problem + turns up) the final BusyBox 1.0.0 release will be ready by + then... + <p> + + As usual you can <a href="downloads">download busybox here</a>. + You don't really need to bother with the + <a href="downloads/Changelog">changelog</a>, as the changes + vs the stable version are way too extensive to easily enumerate. + But you can take a look if you really want too. + + <p>Have Fun! + <p> + + + + <p> + <li><b>Old News</b><br> + For the old news, visit <a href="oldnews.html">the + old news page</a>.</li> + </ul> + </td> + </tr> + + + <!-- Begin Sponsors section --> + <tr> + <td bgcolor="#CCCCC0" align="center"><a name= + "sponsors"><big><b>Sponsors</b></big></a></td> + </tr> + + <tr> + <td bgcolor="#EEEEE0"> + Please visit our sponsors and thank them for their + support!
