<li> <b>10 April 2001 -- BusyBox 0.51 released</b>
<br>
BusyBox 0.51 (the "rock-solid release") is now out there. This
release adds only 2 new applets: env and vi. The vi applet,
contributed by Sterling Huxley, is very functional, and is only
22k. This release fixes 3 critical bugs in the 0.50 release.
There were 2 potential segfaults in lash (the busybox shell) in
the 0.50 release which are now fixed. Another critical bug in
0.50 which is now fixed: syslogd from 0.50 could potentially
deadlock the init process and thereby break your entire system.
<p>
There are a number of improvements in this release as well. For
one thing, the wget applet is greatly improved. Dmitry Zakharov
added FTP support, and Laurence Anderson make wget fully RFC
compliant for HTTP 1.1. The mechanism for including utility
functions in previous releases was clumsy and error prone. Now
all utility functions are part of a new libbb library, which makes
maintaining utility functions much simpler. And BusyBox now
compiles on itanium systems (thanks to the Debian itanium porters
for letting me use their system!).
<p>
You can read the
<a href="ftp://oss.lineo.com/busybox/Changelog">changelog</a> for
complete details. BusyBox 0.51 can be downloaded from
<a href="ftp://oss.lineo.com/busybox">ftp://oss.lineo.com/busybox</a>.
<p>Have Fun!

<li> <b>Busybox Boot-Floppy Image</b>
<p>Because you asked for it, we have made available a <a href=
"ftp://opensource.lineo.com/busybox/busybox.floppy.img"> Busybox boot floppy
image</a>. Here's how you use it:
<ol>
<li> <a href= "ftp://opensource.lineo.com/busybox/busybox.floppy.img">
Download the image</a>
<li> dd it onto a floppy like so: <tt> dd if=busybox.floppy.img
of=/dev/fd0 ; sync </tt>
<li> Pop it in a machine and boot up.
</ol>
<p> If you want to look at the contents of the initrd image, do this:
<pre>
mount ./busybox.floppy.img /mnt -o loop -t msdos
cp /mnt/initrd.gz /tmp
