The developers of Tiny Core Linux, one of the smallest GNU/Linux distribution in the world, are proud to announce the release of Tiny Core 6.3.

According to the release notes, Tiny Core Linux 6.3 is here to update many of the internal components, fixing bugs and improving performance, including tce-load, tc-config, tce-audit, and tce-setup.

As such, we can mention that an NFS4 patch has been added in tc-config, app_exists has been simplified in tce-load, a -t TCEDIR patch has been applied to tce-load, and adding of missing extensions to tce_lst now works correctly in tce-audit.

"Team Tiny Core is proud to announce the release of Core v6.3," reads the announcement. "Note also that Xvesa/Xfbdev included in TinyCore and CorePlus and the Xfbdev in TinyCorePure64 have been updated to the latest repo version."

Furthermore, the tce-load component, which has been greatly simplified, will now exit when "fromwhere" doesn't exist, and it now includes separate listing and handling loops.

Lastly, the tce-setup suffered some modifications, as the extension loop has been moved to tce-load, gaining 4% speedup in the CorePlus version of the distribution. Download Tiny Core Linux 6.3 right now from Softpedia.
