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

I've contacted the current owner of busybox.net and he is willing
to sell the domain name -- for $250. He also owns busybox.org
but will not part with it... I will then need to pay the
registry fee, so this will initially cost about $300. I would
also like to host busybox.net on my home machine (codepoet.org)
so I have full control over the system, but I would need to
increase the level of bandwidth I am paying for (there have been
over 1 Gigabyte of busybox source downloads for the month of
November alone -- other months have had more).

but to do that would require that I increase the level of bandwidth
I am paying for. Did you know that for the month far this month, there
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
start running this all on my home machine, paying for the needed bandwidth
will start costing some money.

I was going to pay it all myself, but my wife didn't like that
idea at all (big surprise). It turns out, she has better ideas

where she wins and I don't&gt; she has better ideas
about what we should spend our money on that don't involve
busybox. She suggested I should ask for contributions on the
mailing list and web page. So...

I am hoping that if everyone could contribute a bit we could pick
up the busybox.net domain name, and cover the bandwidth costs. I

know that busybox is being used by a lot of companies as well as
individuals -- hopefully companies willing to contribute back a
bit. So if everyone could please help out, that would be
wonderful!

<p>
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.
