FreeBSD 8.1 and status report

FreeBSD 8.1 has been released! This is mostly an maintainance release with few major changes:

  • zfsloader added

  • zpool version of ZFS subsystem updated to version 14

  • NFSv4 ACL support in UFS and ZFS; support added to cp(1), find(1), getfacl(1), mv(1), and setfacl(1) utilities

  • UltraSPARC IV/IV+, SPARC64 V support

  • SMP support in PowerPC G5

Some of the other interesting new features are: the ability to use VLAN tags with TSO, HAST high availability storage (disk replication) and new CAM-integrated SATA subsystem (not the default in 8.x to avoid breaking ABI).

At around the same time, a new FreeBSD status report was published.

Keywords: FreeBSD

New development from the status report (which will probably see the light of day in 9.0 or thereabouts) are:

Google Summer of Code

Projects

FreeBSD Team Reports
