Development Release: NetBSD 5.0 RC3 |
| Celebrating NetBSD's 16th birthday, Soren Jacobsen has announced the availability of the third release candidate for NetBSD 5.0: "Today, on the 16th birthday of NetBSD, I have the pleasure of announcing the availability of NetBSD 5.0 RC3. Below are some highlighted changes since RC2: considerable improvements to WAPBL; further X.Org refinements, including switching sgimips to X.Org; scheduler activations support is now disabled by default in sysctl.conf; ddb.onpanic is now set to 1 in the kernel by default, but 0 in sysctl.conf - this avoids trying to dump if a crash occurs during the install phase; puffs is now enabled by default on amd64, i386, macppc, and sparc64; SSP kernels should work again; a handful of assorted stability improvements. As always, see src/doc/CHANGES-5.0 for full details." Here is the brief release announcement. Installation CD images for 40 processor architectures are available for download from these mirrors; quick links to the i386 and amd64 CD images: i386cd.iso (229MB), amd64cd.iso (242MB). |
