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> | ||
97 | |||
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. | ||
110 | <p> | ||
111 | |||
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. | ||
127 | |||
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>. | ||
