Version 7.0 of ttylinux released. This release updates bash, busybox, e2fsprogs, glibc, and iptables to their latest versions.
The increased size of glibc 2.7 made neccessary a change of the filesystem size from 4M to 8M. This might be regrettable, but the added space gives us some more breathing room. A small portion of the additional room has been used for adding the libptread threading library to the subset of glibc that gets installed with ttylinux.
Version 6.2 of ttylinux released. This release updates bash, busybox, e2fsprogs, dropbear, and glibc to their latest versions.
Version 6.1 of ttylinux released. This release updates bash, busybox, e2fsprogs, and iptables to their latest versions.
Version 6.0 of ttylinux released. This release updates bash, busybox, dropbear, glibc, and lilo to their latest versions. The major version number of the distribution was changed because of the glibc version change.
The glibc update also has the consequence that support for 386 class machines had to be dropped. The minimum requirement for ttylinux is now a 486SX processor. The latest ttylinux version with 386 support will remain available for download.
Version 5.3 of ttylinux released. This release updates bash, busybox, iptables, and ncurses to their latest versions.
The busybox package contains the new "killall5" and "resize" applets. Additionally, this version of busybox supports a lot more command line switches for the most common utilities.
