<li> <b>20 November 2001 -- BusyBox 0.60.2 released</b>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I am very pleased to announce that the BusyBox 0.60.2 (stable)
|
||||||
|
is now released to the world. This one is primarily a bugfix
|
||||||
|
release for the stable series, and it believe it should take care
|
||||||
|
of most everyone's needs till we can get the nice new stuff we have
|
||||||
|
been working on in CVS (with the wonderful new buildsystem) ready
|
||||||
|
to release. The biggest change in this release (beyond bugfixes)
|
||||||
|
is the fact that msh (the minix shell) has been re-worked by
|
||||||
|
Vladimir N. Oleynik (vodz) and so it no longer crashes when told to
|
||||||
|
do complex things with backticks.
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I've personally tested this release out
|
||||||
|
on x86, ARM, and powerpc using glibc 2.2.4, libc5, and uClibc, so
|
||||||
|
it should work with just about any Linux system you throw it at.
|
||||||
|
See the <a href="ftp://oss.lineo.com/busybox/Changelog">changelog</a>
|
||||||
|
for <small>most of</small> the details. The last release was
|
||||||
|
<em>very</em> solid for people, and this one should be even better.
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
As usual BusyBox 0.60.2 can be downloaded from
|
||||||
|
<a href="ftp://oss.lineo.com/busybox">ftp://oss.lineo.com/busybox</a>.
|
||||||

And please read the news item for the 18th as well. Have Fun.<br> -Erik

have been over 1.4 Gigabytes of busybox ftp downloads? I don't

even <em>know</em> how much CVS bandwidth it requires. For the

time being, Lineo has continued to graciously provide this

bandwidth, despite the fact that I no longer work for them. If I

will start costing some money.

p.s. I plan on updating the Changelog later this evening, and

|

releasing busybox 0.60.2 later tonight. I will probably just merge
|
|
||||||
in vodz' msh since it fixes known problems, and since I haven't had
|
|
||||||
time to make it uClinux safe. Changelog entries for busybox.stable
|

are welcome.
