    After far too long the +1.2.0 release is out, based +on hg commit 1535. +Package upgrades are Linux 3.5, uClibc-0.9.33.2, busybox 1.20.0, +toybox is back in at version 0.4.0, and most targets are finally +using NPTL instead of pthreads.

    + +

    Several "how did that ever work" bugs in the build scripts got fixed +(commits 1513 through 1518, for example). Several other "only occurs on +a specific distro" bugs also got fixed (a Gentoo one in 1518, a Fedora +one in 1532). The longstanding uClibc++ build break where it complained +".config is a directory" was squashed by 1533.

    + +

    The new development was mostly prep work for toybox integration and fixing +bit-rot in record-commands.sh (used to test toybox). There was also a lot of +dealing with regressions introduced by package upgrades. (Upgrading uClibc +broke stuff. Upgrading busybox broke stuff. Upgrading the kernel +broke stuff all three times.)

    + +

    Busybox is still doing most of the heavy lifting both during the host +build and on the target, but the baseconfig-busybox file is now sorted with +toybox-supplied functionality at the end, allowing toybox to replace +busybox code incrementally as commands become ready.

    + +

    In future versions I'm looking at migrating this project from busybox/uClibc +to toybox/musl, producing something compatible with Android's "no GPL in +userspace". I'm also looking at replacement toolchains, since it may take +me a while to clear time to work on qcc. +If you're curious about all that, ask on the mailing list.
