84 <li> <b>2 August 2001 -- BusyBox 0.60.0 released</b>
85 <br>
86 I am very pleased to announce the immediate availability of
87 BusyBox 0.60.0. I have personally tested this release with libc5, glibc,
88 and <a href="http://cvs.uclinux.org/uClibc.html">uClibc</a> on
89 x86, ARM, and powerpc using linux 2.2 and 2.4, and I know a number
90 of people using it on everything from ia64 to m68k with great success.
91 Everything seems to be working very nicely now, so getting a nice
92 stable bug-free(tm) release out seems to be in order. This releases fixes
93 a memory leak in syslogd, a number of bugs in the ash and msh shells, and
94 cleans up a number of things.
95
96 <p>

98 Those wanting an easy way to test the 0.60.0 release with uClibc can
99 use <a href="http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/">User-Mode Linux</a>
100 to give it a try by downloading and compiling
101 <a href="ftp://oss.lineo.com/buildroot.tar.gz">buildroot.tar.gz</a>.
102 You don't have to be root or reboot your machine to run test this way.
103 Preconfigured User-Mode Linux kernel source is also on oss.lineo.com.
104 <p>
105 Another cool thing is the nifty <a href="ftp://oss.lineo.com/busybox/tutorial/index.html">
106 BusyBox Tutorial</a> contributed by K Computing. This requires
107 a ShockWave plugin (or standalone viewer), so you may want to grab the
108 the GPLed shockwave viewer from <a href="http://www.swift-tools.com/Flash/flash-0.4.10.tgz">here</a>
109 to view the tutorial.

112 Finally, In case you didn't notice anything odd about the
113 version number of this release, let me point out that this release
114 is <em>not</em> 0.53, because I bumped the version number up a
115 bit. This reflects the fact that this release is intended to form
116 a new stable BusyBox release series. If you need to rely on a
117 stable version of BusyBox, you should plan on using the stable
118 0.60.x series. If bugs show up then I will release 0.60.1, then
119 0.60.2, etc... This is also intended to deal with the fact that
120 the BusyBox build system will be getting a major overhaul for the
121 next release and I don't want that to break products that people
122 are shipping. To avoid that, the new build system will be
123 released as part of a new BusyBox development series that will
124 have some not-yet-decided-on odd version number. Once things
125 stabablize and the new build system is working for everyone, then
126 I will release that as a new stable release series.

128 <p>
129 The
130 <a href="ftp://oss.lineo.com/busybox/Changelog">changelog</a> has all
131 the details. As usual BusyBox 0.60.0 can be downloaded from
132 <a href="ftp://oss.lineo.com/busybox">ftp://oss.lineo.com/busybox</a>.
133 <p>Have Fun!
