Busybox is a multi-function binary which allows embedded devices that don't have as much space and RAM as a real
Linux computer to have access to a wide range of shell tools used by the OS, normally provided as separate
packages. Things like the shell interpreter (ash), awk, grep, ping, the DHCP client, etc... - they are all provided
as cut-down versions through Busybox. Since these tools are used extensively throughout the firmware, a Busybox
upgrade is always at risk of breaking something in the least expected part of the firmware.
The main reason for upgrading Busybox is security, in addition to a wide range of minor bug fixes. Asuswrt-Merlin
was running 1.20, and Asus's original firmware is on 1.17.4. We both had various tidbits backported from newer
versions, but only a very limited amount of things were updated that way in the past.
I have uploaded some test builds based on the Busybox 1.25.1 upgrade implemented by theMIROn. This is the only
change over 380.64 at this time:
If you are willing to give these a test run, please do. I've ran it for over a week myself, everything I tested so
far was looking good. Please treat this builds as being experimental for the time being. Be ready to do some
troubleshooting if you run into any issue, such as re-testing with 380.64 to compare results.
Pretty much everything will need to be tested over time, but what is the most likely to break is any custom scripts
users might have written. AB Solution has already been tested and confirmed to be working properly so far - that's
one of the most complex scripts typically found on Asuswrt-Merlin routers so far. I also tested Download Master,
which was one of the things that broke back when I upgraded to 1.20.2 a few years ago (I had to revert one specific
update to fix it).
