<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.
|
||||

<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>,
|
||||

|
||||
<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.

<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>
|
||||
<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.
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
<p> <li> <b>19 January 2000 -- BusyBox 0.41 released</b>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
|
||||
This release includes bugfixes to cp, mv, logger, true, false,
|
||||
mkdir, syslogd, and init. New apps include wc, hostid,
|
||||
logname, tty, whoami, and yes. New features include loop device
|
||||
support in mount and umount, and better TERM handling by init.

||||

|
||||
|
||||
<p> <li> <b>7 January 2000 -- BusyBox 0.40 released</b>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
|
||||
This release includes bugfixes to init (now includes inittab support),
|
||||
syslogd, head, logger, du, grep, cp, mv, sed, dmesg, ls, kill, gunzip, and mknod.
|
||||
New apps include sort, uniq, lsmod, rmmod, fbset, and loadacm.
|
||||
In particular, this release fixes an important bug in tar which
|
||||
in some cases produced serious security problems.
