Some news:
Updated kernels
Due to the recent local root exploit both generic and vserver kernel are updated. To prevent similar future bugs be exploitable I have enabled UDEREF in kernels. This is a good protection but it does have some serious performance issues when running on virtual machines without hardware support.
New version of busybox
Upgraded to busybox-1.9.x series. This adds some new features while still reduce the overall size. You gotta love busybox! Look out for bugs.
2/3 of the packages tested
The Alpine Package Testing Suite has now tests for over 2/3 of the packages. It means that most packages are confirmed working. Lots of bugs were found and fixed during the creation of those scripts.
