Minimal Linux Live version "15-Dec-2019" has been released. You can take a look at the change log here:

https://ivandavidov.github.io/minimal/www/#changes

--- --- ---

* Updated software base - Minimal Linux Live (MLL) is based on Linux kernel 5.4.3, GNU C library 2.30 and Busybox 1.31.1. The generated ISO image file is 10MB (x86_64) and requires 256MB RAM in order to run properly.

* CloudFlare DNS resolvers - by default Minimal Linux Live has 3 DNS resolvers: Gogle Public DNS (8.8.8.8), Quad4 (4.4.4.4) and CloudFlare DNS (1.1.1.1).

* GraalVM overlay bundle - this overlay bundle provides JDK, Python, Ruby and Node.JS/JavaScript.

* Adopt OpenJDK overlay bundle - this overlay bundle provides JDK from the AdoptOpenJDK project.

* Zulu JDK overlay bundle - this overlay bundle provides JDK from Azul Systems.

* GoLang overlay bundle - this overlay bundle provides Go (programming language) in MLL.

* Python overlay bundle - this overlay bundle provides Python (programming language) in MLL.

* Install software on demand - you can use static-get to search and install software directly in MLL. If you use persistent storage, your installed software will be persisted after reboot.

* Other overlay bundle changes - you can build all overlay bundles with special meta-bundle, vitetris has been added (tetris game), java bundle (Oracle JDK) has been deprecated and removed, util_linux no longer requires root privileges to build.

* Hello MLL overlay bundle - the bundle mll_hello provides detailed explanation on how to write your own overlay bundle. This particular overlay bundle compiles simple C program and installs it in MLL as executable command.

* Pure QEMU console mode - this allows you to run MLL entirely in your console. This is useful if you don't work with graphical UI or if you work remotely, e.g. via SSH.
