• NetBSD 10.0 RC3 Released

    From John McCue@21:1/5 to All on Thu Jan 18 14:56:22 2024
    From Mailing List: netbsd-announce@NetBSD.org ---------------------------------------------

    The NetBSD project is pleased to announce the third (and hopefully
    final) release candidate[1] of the upcoming 10.0 release, please
    help testing!
    See the release anouncement[2] for details.

    The netbsd-10 release branch is more than a year old now, so it is
    high time the 10.0 release makes it to the front stage. This matches
    the long time it took for the developement branch to get ready for
    branching, a lot of developement went into this new release.

    This also caused the release anouncement to be one of the longest
    we ever did.

    Since RC1 there have been numerous changes, including major updates
    to external software included in the release: Postfix, OpenSSH,
    and the firmware used for Raspberry PI devices. Various issues with
    RC1 have been fixed, including installer (sysinst) crashes. Lots
    of architecture specific fixes happend, e.g. various toolchain
    changes for VAX (so it is now finaly self-hosting again), and kernel
    changes for macppc, netwinder, and alpha.

    For RC3 only few (relatively) minor changes were made, including
    https certificate verification in libfetch (which is used by
    pkg_ad(1)), and also improvements to the EFI bootloader to better
    deal with booting from CD (or in virtual machines ISO images), plus
    lots of various bug fixes.

    If you want to test 10.0 RC3 please check the installation notes[4]
    for your architecture and download the prefered install image[5]
    from the CDN or if you are using an ARM based device from the
    netbsd-10 builds from the bootable ARM images[6] page.

    If you have any issues with installation or run into issues with
    the system during use, please contact us on one of the mailing
    lists[7] or file a problem report[8].
