Description

A new version of busybox-w32 released some days ago (2026-05-07). Its version number is FRP-6075-g169694ebd. I have been waiting for a new version for a long time now and I'm excited to get this into w64devkit. I'll finally be updating from 2.1.0 when this drops in w64devkit :)

Research direction
