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
126 time to make it uClinux safe. Changelog entries for busybox.stable
127 are welcome.
