| + | fixed prior to the final 1.0.0 release. The main feature |
| + | (besides additional testing) that is still still on the TODO |
| + | list before the final BusyBox 1.0.0 release is sorting out the |
| + | modutils issues. For the new 2.6.x kernels, we already have |
| + | patches adding insmod and rmmod support and those need to be |
| + | integrated. For 2.4.x kernels, for which busybox only supports |
| + | a limited number of architectures, we may want to invest a bit |
| + | more work before we cut 1.0.0. Or we may just leave 2.4.x |
| + | module loading alone. |
| + | |
| + | <p> |
| + | |
| + | I had hoped this release would be out a month ago. And of |
| + | course, it wasn't since Erik became busy getting a release of |
| + | <a href="http://www.uclibc.org/">uClibc</a> |
| + | out the door. Many thanks to Glenn McGrath (bug1) for |
| + | stepping in and helping get a bunch of patches merged! I am |
| + | not even going to state a date for releasing BusyBox 1.0.0 |
| + | -pre4 (or the final 1.0.0). We're aiming for late September... |
| + | But if this release proves as to be exceptionally stable (or |
| + | exceptionally unstable!) then next release may be very soon |
| + | indeed. |
