  • 10 April 2001 -- BusyBox 0.51 released +
    + + 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. +

    + + 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!). +
