Web Page shows. 27 September 2024 -- BusyBox 1.37.0 (unstable) BusyBox 1.37.0. (git, patches, how to add a patch) Sizes of busybox-1.36.0 and busybox-1.37.0 (with equivalent config, static musl build): text data bss dec hex filename 1022792 559 4988 1028339 fb0f3 busybox-1.36.0/busybox 1024327 559 4988 1029874 fb6f2 busybox-1.37.0/busybox The link for git is: https://git.busybox.net/busybox/log/?h=1_37_stable I use git clone git://busybox.net/busybox.git and build and it shows. BusyBox v1.38.0.git (2026-03-27 22:43:15 ChST) multi-call binary. An Web search via AI gives this. BusyBox 1.38.0 has been referenced in third-party package management systems, such as winget and Repology, but as of late March 2026, it is not the official stable or unstable release on the main BusyBox website. The official BusyBox project provides source code access via Git. The main repository can be cloned using the following command: git clone git://git.busybox.net/busybox For specific information regarding the 1.38.0 version, it appears primarily in the context of forks, unofficial builds (like busybox-w32), or in various distribution repositories as a potential future or development version. The official project website lists the latest stable release as 1.36.1 and the latest unstable release as 1.37.0. You can browse the official source code and different branches/tags through the web interface on the BusyBox website's source control page or the official mirror on GitHub. They finally seem to have the web page working better, For a while was showing port 443 filtered. Nmap scan report for busybox.net (140.211.167.122) Host is up, received echo-reply ttl 252 (0.097s latency). rDNS record for 140.211.167.122: busybox.osuosl.org Not shown: 994 filtered tcp ports (no-response) PORT STATE SERVICE REASON 22/tcp open ssh syn-ack ttl 252 80/tcp open http syn-ack ttl 252 443/tcp open https syn-ack ttl 252 873/tcp open rsync syn-ack ttl 252 3690/tcp closed svn reset ttl 252 9418/tcp open git syn-ack ttl 252 Nmap scan report for git.busybox.net (140.211.167.122) Seems something is fully uptodate with info.
