<li> <b>2 August 2001 -- BusyBox 0.60.0 released</b>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
I am very pleased to announce the immediate availability of
|
||||
BusyBox 0.60.0. I have personally tested this release with libc5, glibc,
|
||||
and <a href="http://cvs.uclinux.org/uClibc.html">uClibc</a> on
|
||||
x86, ARM, and powerpc using linux 2.2 and 2.4, and I know a number
|
||||
of people using it on everything from ia64 to m68k with great success.
|
||||
Everything seems to be working very nicely now, so getting a nice
|
||||
stable bug-free(tm) release out seems to be in order. This releases fixes
|
||||
a memory leak in syslogd, a number of bugs in the ash and msh shells, and
|
||||
cleans up a number of things.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
|
||||
Those wanting an easy way to test the 0.60.0 release with uClibc can
|
||||
use <a href="http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/">User-Mode Linux</a>
|
||||
to give it a try by downloading and compiling
|
||||
<a href="ftp://oss.lineo.com/buildroot.tar.gz">buildroot.tar.gz</a>.
|
||||
You don't have to be root or reboot your machine to run test this way.
|
||||
Preconfigured User-Mode Linux kernel source is also on oss.lineo.com.
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Another cool thing is the nifty <a href="ftp://oss.lineo.com/busybox/tutorial/index.html">
|
||||
BusyBox Tutorial</a> contributed by K Computing. This requires
|
||||
a ShockWave plugin (or standalone viewer), so you may want to grab the
|
||||
the GPLed shockwave viewer from <a href="http://www.swift-tools.com/Flash/flash-0.4.10.tgz">here</a>
|
||||
to view the tutorial.
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, In case you didn't notice anything odd about the
|
||||
version number of this release, let me point out that this release
|
||||
is <em>not</em> 0.53, because I bumped the version number up a
|
||||
bit. This reflects the fact that this release is intended to form
|
||||
a new stable BusyBox release series. If you need to rely on a
|
||||
stable version of BusyBox, you should plan on using the stable
|
||||
0.60.x series. If bugs show up then I will release 0.60.1, then
|
||||
0.60.2, etc... This is also intended to deal with the fact that
|
||||
the BusyBox build system will be getting a major overhaul for the
|
||||
next release and I don't want that to break products that people
|
||||
are shipping. To avoid that, the new build system will be
|
||||
released as part of a new BusyBox development series that will
|
||||
have some not-yet-decided-on odd version number. Once things
|
||||
stabablize and the new build system is working for everyone, then
|
||||
I will release that as a new stable release series.
|
||||

||||

|
||||
The
|
||||
<a href="ftp://oss.lineo.com/busybox/Changelog">changelog</a> has all
|
||||
the details. As usual BusyBox 0.60.0 can be downloaded from
|
||||
<a href="ftp://oss.lineo.com/busybox">ftp://oss.lineo.com/busybox</a>.
