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.
