History and Bug fixes
History and List of Bugfixes
This is the short release history of PicoBSD, as well as the list of bugs
which were found. Some of them were already corrected, so that you should read
the list before reporting a new one.
We tried to make this software bug-free, but life is life... Sorry for the
inconvenience.
PicoBSD 0.4
-
1998.08.28: Serious bug was discovered in MFS code (thanks to Eric
P. Scott for detailed bug report!). Though the bug itself is in
FreeBSD-current kernel code and not in the PicoBSD-specific sources,
it makes PicoBSD very fragile and easy to crash.
Some people are already working on it, so expect the fixed version
in a few days. Its availability will be noted here, on this page,
so keep an eye on it.
-
1998.08.27: PicoBSD source tree is now a part of official FreeBSD
source tree (you can find it in src/release/picobsd). From now on,
all the fixes and changes will go directly to this tree, and from
time to time I'll be preparing a stand-alone snapshot of the sources.
-
1998.08.19: PicoBSD 0.4 released.
New features include: NATd,
netstat, DEVFS/SLICE instead of standard /dev, additional network
drivers, and several minor fixes. Distribution contains also
a collection of small versions of system programs (TinyWare), among
them custom init(8).
I added also the fourth type of setup - 'router' - which is a
specialized version of PicoBSD that focuses on providing as small
as possible router solution.
PicoBSD 0.31
-
1998.03.28: Some people reported that the binary files (*.flp) were
being corrupted during download because their browsers assumed that
these are text files. I changed the names to *.bin - their contents
is the same.
-
1998.03.20: PicoBSD 0.31 released. New features include: SNMP daemon,
better creation of /kernel.config, some other minor fixes. Massive
changes in the building scripts. I also removed vn(4) driver from
"net" and "isp" floppies.
PicoBSD 0.3
The following bugs were found in this release of PicoBSD:
- 1998.02.27: A bug in kget(8) utility caused it to dump core in certain
situations. As a consequence, it wasn't possible to save the changes
made in UserConfig (-c). This will be corrected in the next release (or
bugfix issue).
- 1998.02.24: Wrongly sized MFS caused the passwd(1) on "net" type
floppy to fail because of lack of space for temporary files. This bug
affected only "net" floppies, and of course the scripts ("2000" looks
quite similar to "2200" :-(( ). Also, the 'update' script didn't work
as expected...
This was fixed the same day, and the corrected files are: pb03en1.zip,
pb03pn1.zip, and pbsd-s031.tgz respectively. They are now under standard
links on the main page of PicoBSD project, so if you downloaded after
this date, you shouldn't worry.
Please check that you have the fixed versions - the archive name should
contain the tiny number, such as "pb03en1.zip", or
pbsd-s031.tgz".
-
1998.02.15: PicoBSD 0.3 released. This is the first version that I can
truly recommend - previous one was too buggy... :-)
