FreeBSD 5.2-delphij to release third iso

I will release third (more or less unstable) release ISO if nothing will prevent me from doing that :-) The latest delphijfork includes several new features, which is tend to exhibit new technologies and possiblities of FreeBSD:

• An implementation of RFC 3522 ported from DragonFlyBSD
• An implementation of Early Retransmission ported from DragonFlyBSD

Also, FreeBSD-CURRENT has several new features, including:

• In progress import of binutils 2.15
• pf 3.5. Including several new features and works better with spamd.
• better ACPI support

FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE release engineering process will begin in 4-6 weeks

Big news. FreeBSD is calling for more developers to take attention on 5.3-RELEASE development, the 5.3-RELEASE, a.k.a. first 5-STABLE release, will begin its release engineering process in 4-6 weeks.

If you are using FreeBSD and willing to migrate to a 5.x branch release or 5-STABLE, it is highly recommended to use -CURRENT and report any problem you encounter. Also, you can help the development by checking out something on TODO list, or resolve some problem.

pf in NetBSD, jkh's new article, etc.

It appears that NetBSD has finally adopted packet filter, an OpenBSD feature to its base. Compared to FreeBSD’s pf port, this will be much easier one because the VM structure is almostly alike.

mono FreeBSD port?

I am not sure whether there’s someone who wants to pick up mono’s FreeBSD port. I personally do not want to do this :-) However it will be interesting if I have enough time to kill. And, of course, it will be good if it is released under a more loose license…

FreeBSD port to reduce dependency on XFree86

It seems that they are now replacing explicit XFree86-4-libraries to USE_XLIB and so. Is this a step dropping XFree86 and go XOrg? :-)

FreeBSD core's position on Apple's APSL

I don’t like lawyer much, however, we all have to respect law :-) Apple has released some of their code under a license called “APSL”, what’s that? To quote Robert Watson, a FreeBSD core team member, APSL was considered as something like GPL/LGPL, which is acceptable for standard-alone userspace tools, however, should be taken carefully on kernel aspect.

啊？还能这么玩呢？

FreeBSD 4.10-R to delay again

If everything goes ok, then FreeBSD 4.10-RELEASE would be released by the end of this week. Now we are at RC3.

OpenSource Project from... Microsoft??

Yes, you did saw the truth. There are some Open Source projects from Microsoft’s staff. I’m not sure whether this is permitted by the official authority, however, there is, licensed under CPL (Not GPL), which is an Open Source Initiative approved Open Source License.
