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

I've contacted the current owner of busybox.net and he is willing
- to sell the domain name -- for $250. He also owns busybox.org
- but will not part with it... I will then need to pay the
- registry fee, so this will initially cost about $300. I would
- also like to host busybox.net on my home machine (codepoet.org)
- so I have full control over the system, but I would need to
- increase the level of bandwidth I am paying for (there have been
- over 1 Gigabyte of busybox source downloads for the month of
- November alone -- other months have had more).

- p.s. I plan on updating the Changelog later this evening, and
