Development Release: NetBSD 3.1 RC2 |
 |
Geert Hendrickx has announced the availability of a second release candidate of NetBSD 3.1: "on behalf of the NetBSD Release Engineering Team, it is my pleasure to announce that the second release candidate for NetBSD 3.1 has been released. Improvements over the first release candidate include: fixed the build of NetBSD-vax; fixed a buffer overflow in PPPoE/ISDN PPP; closed a socket leach in accept(2); removed references to sushi(8) from the afterboot(8) manpage; fixed an integer overflow in FreeType; disabled threading in named(8) to avoid a crash on sparc and sparc64; fixed a potential DoS vulnerability in sendmail(8)...." More details about the changes can be found in the release announcement. CD images for a number of processor architectures are available from the project's main FTP server and its mirrors; here is a quick link to the i386 image: i386cd-3.1_RC2.iso (208MB, MD5). |
