Juanito:
Team Tiny Core is pleased to announce that Tiny Core 8.1 rc2 is available for public testing:

http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/8.x/x86/release_candidates/
http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/8.x/x86_64/release_candidates/

This is a release candidate. If you decide to help test, then please test carefully. We don't want anyone to lose data.

We appreciate testing and feedback.

Changelog for 8.1 rc2:
* added lzma functionality to busybox

Changelog for 8.1 rc1:
* busybox updated 1.25.1 -> 1.27.1
* busybox CONFIG_FEATURE_SYSLOGD_READ_BUFFER_SIZE=512 re-established
* duplicated busybox syminks removed

Note also that the firmware and tc-install content in the CorePlus iso has been rationalised

coreplayer2:
I noticed that latest busybox in Core 8.1 rc2 has changed some wget options.  "wget -s ..."  is no longer valid but requires the complete option spelled out, eg: wget --spider   
This change broke Firefox_getLatest extension, I'll fix it asap

andyj:
LZMA for rpm2cpio isn't doing the trick for some reason:

rpm2cpio: no gzip/bzip2/xz magic

curaga:
"wget: there is no -s option in GNU Wget 1.18, we should be compatible" in Oct 2016.

@andyj: That's because busybox rpm2cpio doesn't pass the filename onwards and has to guess from the magic bytes, and LZMA has no magic bytes - it cannot be detected without external help. Please open a busybox bug, attach such a lzma rpm there.

andyj:
The bug I filed with busybox about the tar exclude option not working right is still unassigned after a year and a half. But first, when I look at the busybox config file from here http://tinycorelinux.net/8.x/x86_64/release/src/busybox/busybox-1.27.1_config_nosuid LZMA doesn't look configured to me.
