+  <li><b>6 April 2004 -- BusyBox 1.0.0-pre9 released</b><p>
+
+    Here goes the final BusyBox pre-release...  This is your last chance for
+    bug fixes.  With luck this will be released as BusyBox 1.0.0 later this
+    week.  Please do not bother to send in patches adding cool new features at
+    this time.  Only bug-fix patches will be accepted.  It would also be
+    <b>very</b> helpful if people could help review the BusyBox documentation
+    and submit improvements.  I've spent a lot of time updating the
+    documentation to make it better match reality, but I could really use some
+    assistance in checking that the features supported by the various applets
+    match the features listed in the documentation.
+
+    <p>
+    I had hoped to get this released a month ago, but
+    <a href="http://codepoet.org/gallery/baby_peter/img_1796">
+    another release on 1 March 2004</a> has kept me busy...
+
+    <p>
+    The <a href="downloads/Changelog">changelog</a> has all the details.
+    And as usual you can <a href="downloads">download busybox here</a>.
+
+    <p>Have Fun!
+    <p>
