81 | <li> <b>20 November 2001 -- BusyBox 0.60.2 released</b> | ||
82 | <p> | ||
83 | |||
84 | I am very pleased to announce that the BusyBox 0.60.2 (stable) | ||
85 | is now released to the world. This one is primarily a bugfix | ||
86 | release for the stable series, and it believe it should take care | ||
87 | of most everyone's needs till we can get the nice new stuff we have | ||
88 | been working on in CVS (with the wonderful new buildsystem) ready | ||
89 | to release. The biggest change in this release (beyond bugfixes) | ||
90 | is the fact that msh (the minix shell) has been re-worked by | ||
91 | Vladimir N. Oleynik (vodz) and so it no longer crashes when told to | ||
92 | do complex things with backticks. | ||
93 | <p> | ||
94 | |||
95 | I've personally tested this release out | ||
96 | on x86, ARM, and powerpc using glibc 2.2.4, libc5, and uClibc, so | ||
97 | it should work with just about any Linux system you throw it at. | ||
98 | See the <a href="ftp://oss.lineo.com/busybox/Changelog">changelog</a> | ||
99 | for <small>most of</small> the details. The last release was | ||
100 | <em>very</em> solid for people, and this one should be even better. | ||
101 | <p> | ||
102 | As usual BusyBox 0.60.2 can be downloaded from | ||
103 | <a href="ftp://oss.lineo.com/busybox">ftp://oss.lineo.com/busybox</a>. | ||
104 | <p> | ||
105 | And please read the news item for the 18th as well. Have Fun.<br> -Erik | ||

123 | p.s. I plan on updating the Changelog later this evening, and | ||
124 | releasing busybox 0.60.2 later tonight. I will probably just merge | ||
125 | in vodz' msh since it fixes known problems, and since I haven't had | ||

127 | are welcome. | ||
