Daniil Baturin has announced the release of version 2026.02 of VyOS Stream, a community edition of the project's enterprise-grade, open-source networking platform for bare metal, cloud and edge, based on Debian's "Stable" branch. The new release features various feature enhancements and bug fixes: "VyOS Stream 2026.02 is available for download now. It features multiple backports from the rolling release, including TLS support for syslog, NAT66 source groups, IPFIX support in VPP, FRR and VPP updates, and over fifty bug fixes. It also makes the VPP configuration subsystem use DPDK as the default driver for NICs that support it and fall back to XDP automatically if needed — there is no need to and no option to configure the driver by hand anymore. VyOS no longer allows multicast addresses to be assigned to interfaces. Previously, something like set interfaces ethernet eth0 address 224.0.0.100/24 was a valid configuration commands. Now the CLI will reject it and configs with such addresses will fail to load. While Linux kernel and iproute2 allow manually assigning multicast addresses, allowing that in the VyOS CLI was an oversight - such configurations will never work for their intended purposes. For multicast traffic to actually work, hosts need to join multicast groups using IGMP." Read the rest of the release announcement for further information.

| About VyOS
|
| VyOS is a community fork of Vyatta, a Linux distribution discontinued in 2013. It is a network operating system that provides software-based network routing, firewall and VPN functionality. VyOS is based on Debian; its features include the ability to run on both physical and virtual platforms, and support for para-virtual drivers and integration packages for virtual platforms. VyOS was completely free to download and use until the release of version 1.2.0 in January 2019 when the project turned commercial, providing the operating system with various levels of support subscriptions. Daily "rolling" images are still available for free download though.

Development Release: VyOS 1.2.0 RC1 |
 |
Daniil Baturin has announced the availability of the first release candidate for VyOS 1.2.0, a Debian-based distribution for firewalls and routers launched in 2013 as a fork of the abandoned Vyatta distribution. The new version is still based on Debian 8 "Jessie" and is available for 64-bit systems only: "First VyOS 1.2.0 release candidate is available for download. VyOS 1.2.0 'Crux' is the feature expansion release based on Debian 'Jessie'. The release candidate will be the basis for the future long-term support release. New features include: Wireguard support; PPPoE server; mDNS repeater and broadcast relay; support for IPv6 VRRP and unicast VRRP operation; NPTv6; standards-compliant QinQ ethertype option; Python APIs for accessing the running config and writing migration scripts (replacements of the Perl Vyatta::Config and XorpConfigParser); new XML-based command definitions; new build system that makes it easy to create custom builds with additional repositories and packages; SR-IOV support for Intel and Mellanox cards." See the release announcement and the release notes for more information. Interested testers can download the new release from here: vyos-1.2.0-rc1-amd64.iso (357MB, signature, pkglist). |

Distribution Release: VyOS 1.1.8 |
 |
Daniil Baturin has announced the release of VyOS 1.1.8, an updated version of the Debian-based distribution for firewalls and routers born in 2013 from the ashes of the discontinued Vyatta project: "VyOS 1.1.8 is now available for download. It breaks the semantic versioning convention; while the version number implies a bug-fix-only release, it actually includes a number of new features. This is because 1.2.0 number is already assigned to the Jessie-based release that is still in beta, but not including those features that have been in the code base for a while and a few of them have already been in production for some users would feel quite wrong, especially considering the long delay between the releases. Overall it's pretty close in scope to the original 1.2.0 release plan before Debian Squeeze was EOLed and we had to switch the effort to getting rid of the legacy that was keeping us from moving to a newer base distribution." See the release announcement and the changelog for further information. Download (SHA1, pkglist): vyos-1.1.8-amd64.iso (230MB, signature), vyos-1.1.8-i586.iso (220MB, signature). |
