After entering development a month ago, Tiny Core Linux 8.0 received a single Beta release during its short development cycle, during which it received a new kernel version from the Linux 4.8 series, which is no longer supported upstream, as well as various up-to-date components, including X.Org 7.7 and BusyBox 1.25.1. Also included in the final release of Tiny Core Linux 8.0, we can notice GNU C Library (Glibc) 2.24, GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) 6.2.0, util-linux 2.28.2, as well as e2fsprogs 1.43.3. Additionally, the GNU cpio general file archiver utility has been patched against UDI/GID error.
