I DragonFly BSD, i OpenBSD su objavili nova izdanja. Evo ukratko šta donose, koje su izmene, i linkovi za preuzimanje .iso imidža ili USB imidža. Na kraju vest da je jedan od cloud computing provajdera uključio FreeBSD 8.1 na listu dostupnih operativnih sistema za svoju platformu.


DragonFly 2.8.2 Release


Citat:Return of the GUI - The 2.8 release includes a larger 4G USB image with a working X environment and full sources in addition to the standard 700M ISO and 1G USB images.

Crypto support - A cryptsetup compatible cryptographic device mapper target was written for DragonFly. This means that it is now possible to encrypt DragonFly partitions (e.g., HAMMER and UFS). While it is possible to only encrypt any partition like /home/, it is also possible to encrypt the whole root file system.

Packet Filter (pf) - Pf was updated to a version based upon OpenBSD 4.2. The previous version of pf in DragonFly was based on OpenBSD 3.5. This, in addition to laying the ground for further following OpenBSD's implementation, introduced several performance gains: Information like route-to, altq, tags, etc are now stored in the mbuf header directly.

WiFi Stack Update - FreeBSD's WiFi (802.11) network stack has been ported. While not all WiFi drivers have been ported the ability to port drivers from FreeBSD much more easily will allow us to ultimately add support for more and newer WiFi devices in the near future.

MP Performance - The multiprocessor work that has been ongoing in DragonFly is really starting to bear fruit. The MPLOCK (The primary lock, that when held ensures only a single cpu is operating within the kernel) has been pushed back significantly with this release. Most of the frontend code now uses soft tokens instead of the MPLOCK, though for safety these particular soft tokens still acquire the MPLOCK.

Availability

Three release options are now available for 32-bit as well as for 64-bit.

An ISO, to be burned to a physical cd or used as an image to install a virtual machine.
A bootable USB disk-key image (minimum 1G USB stick needed)
A GUI bootable USB disk-key image with a full X environment (4G USB stick needed).

The release ISO images should be available on most of the mirrors. If the ISO is not available on a certain mirror, please try another one or download it from the DragonFly master site. Each image is in the "Live CD" format, meaning that it boots into a running and fully functional DragonFly system, which can be used for testing or system recovery tasks as well as installation
