Matt said that he will also announce this on FreeBSD list.
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:
Also, FreeBSD-CURRENT has several new features, including:
I have ported Jeffrey Hsu’s RFC3522 implementation in DragonFlyBSD to FreeBSD. Check https://research.delphij.net/freebsd/rfc3522.diff.
From the commit log:
Close an interrupt race between vm_page_lookup() and (typically) a vm_page_sleep_busy() check by using the correct spl protection. An interrupt can occur inbetween the two operations and unbusy/free the page in question, causing the busy check to fail and for the code to fall through and then operate on a page that may have been freed and possibly even reused. Also note that vm_page_grab() had the same issue between the lookup, busy check, and vm_page_busy() call.
I am thinking of the possiblity of backporting / porting several DragonFly and NetBSD, even OpenBSD’s features, to FreeBSD, to increase its performance, stablity, and the code readablity.
Shortly after OpenBSD’s 3.5 splash web, Matthew Dillon has released a thrid “known stable” iso for DragonFlyBSD. It can be obtained from ftp://ftp.dragonflybsd.org/iso-images/dfly-20040502.iso.gz.
This snapshot included many new features, yet stable:
This is my 201st blob, the 200th was used with a law disclaimer, well I don’t like legalize while I have a handful of friends who works on law-related jobs :-)
As planned before, I am now downloading DragonFlyBSD’s live iso and tend to install it soon.
Dr. Alan Cox (alc@) has committed several improvements to FreeBSD’s VM implementation, and this brought significant performance gains on 5-CURRENT.
Matt Dillon always do things which are amazing and earning our respect!! Today he announced a major change in DragonFly’s build architecture, while this will likely to cause some temporary quakes, we believe that the migration will be finished soon and we will have a much better (say, cleaner than FreeBSD’s approach) DragonFly buildworld path!
