Team Tiny Core is proud to announce the release of Core v8.0
http://www.tinycorelinux.net/8.x/x86/release
http://www.tinycorelinux.net/8.x/x86_64/release

Changelog for 8.0:
* busybox updated to 1.25.1 and cpio patched for uid/gid error
* kernel updated to 4.8.17
* glibc updated to 2.24
* gcc updated to 6.2.0
* e2fsprogs base libs/apps updated to 1.43.3
* util-linux base libs/apps updated to 2.28.2

Note:

Most extensions have been copied over from the 7.x repo - note that the Xorg-7.7 extensions have been updated, the ncurses and readline extensions have changed major versions and the openssl extension has been factored out into openssl and ca-certficates.

thane:
I'm not sure this is the right place to report/request this, but I'm having the same video resolution issues with TC 8.0 that I had when I first upgraded to 7.0. It turned out that I needed an updated version of xf86-video-nv.tcz. Could this be added to the 8.0 repo?

Hi TinyCore Team,

I've just downloaded / burned to CD / bootified a TC-8.0 pendrive (usb3.0/16GB)

- DE-keyboard with äöüß can be set; ok on the editor, on the Aterm ???? instead
- alsa sound remains silent
- oss sound is not available (was a help for tc-7.2)
- firefox-ESR refuses to start
- firefox-getLatest.sh installs firefox-43.0.4 but does not even start
- icecat browser does start and works fine.
- Now I tried again to run firefox-getLatest.sh, installs the same old firefox-43.0.4; the actual is 52.0.2
- The hole to the net that had been punched with icecat now helps firefox too.

That's what I found for now, I will continue testing and reporting.

Many thanks for this tiny fine system!

greetings

v8.0 does not appear to work within Hyper-V as a VM:

hv_storvsc is not loaded and when I try to load it manually I get the following:

tc@box:~$ sudo modprobe hv_storvsc
modprobe: can't load module hv_storvsc (kernel/drivers/scsi/hv_storvsc.ko.gz): unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter

Any suggestions what to try?
