I have personally tested this release with libc5, glibc, + and <a href="http://cvs.uclinux.org/uClibc.html">uClibc</a> on + x86, ARM, and powerpc using linux 2.2 and 2.4, and I know a number + of people using it on everything from ia64 to m68k with great success. + Everything seems to be working very nicely now, so getting a nice + stable bug-free(tm) release out seems to be in order. This releases fixes + a memory leak in syslogd, a number of bugs in the ash and msh shells, and + cleans up a number of things. + + <p> + + Those wanting an easy way to test the 0.60.0 release with uClibc can + use <a href="http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/">User-Mode Linux</a> + to give it a try by downloading and compiling + <a href="ftp://oss.lineo.com/buildroot.tar.gz">buildroot.tar.gz</a>. + You don't have to be root or reboot your machine to run test this way. + Preconfigured User-Mode Linux kernel source is also on oss.lineo.com. + <p> + Another cool thing is the nifty <a href="ftp://oss.lineo.com/busybox/tutorial/index.html"> + BusyBox Tutorial</a> contributed by K Computing. This requires + a ShockWave plugin (or standalone viewer), so you may want to grab the + the GPLed shockwave viewer from <a href="http://www.swift-tools.com/Flash/flash-0.4.10.tgz">here</a> + to view the tutorial. + <p> + + Finally, In case you didn't notice anything odd about the + version number of this release, let me point out that this release + is <em>not</em> 0.53, because I bumped the version number up a + bit. This reflects the fact that this release is intended to form + a new stable BusyBox release series. If you need to rely on a + stable version of BusyBox, you should plan on using the stable + 0.60.x series. If bugs show up then I will release 0.60.1, then + 0.60.2, etc... This is also intended to deal with the fact that + the BusyBox build system will be getting a major overhaul for the + next release and I don't want that to break products that people + are shipping. To avoid that, the new build system will be + released as part of a new BusyBox development series that will + have some not-yet-decided-on odd version number. Once things + stabablize and the new build system is working for everyone, then + I will release that as a new stable release series. + + <p> + The + <a href="ftp://oss.lineo.com/busybox/Changelog">changelog</a> has all + the details.
