It is with huge pleasure that the Debian GNU/Hurd team announces the
release of Debian GNU/Hurd 2021. This is a snapshot of Debian "sid" at
the time of the stable Debian "bullseye" release (August 2021), so it is
mostly based on the same sources. It is not an official Debian release,
but it is an official Debian GNU/Hurd port release.

The installation ISO images can be downloaded from cdimage (https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/ports/11.0/hurd-i386/)
in the usual three Debian flavors: NETINST, CD, or DVD. Besides the
friendly Debian installer, a pre-installed disk image is also available,
making it even easier to try Debian GNU/Hurd. The easiest way to run it
is inside a VM such as qemu
(https://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-install)

Debian GNU/Hurd is currently available for the i386 architecture with
about 70% of the Debian archive, and more to come!


* The port of go is complete

* Support for file record locking was added

* Some parts of experimental APIC, SMP and 64bit support was added

* Userland IRQ delivery was reworked

* An experimental rump-based userland disk driver was introduced. This
means dropping the Linux glue from the GNU Mach kernel is getting
very close!

* Many fixes, including some important security fixes.


Please make sure to read the configuration information (https://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-install),
the FAQ (http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/faq.html) (or its latest
version ()http://darnassus.sceen.net/~hurd-web/faq/), and the translator
primer (http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd/documentation/translator_primer.html)
to get a grasp of the great features of GNU/Hurd.

We would like to thank all the people who have worked on GNU/Hurd (http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/history.html) in the past.
There were not many people at any given time (and still not many people
today, please join
(http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/contributing.html)!), but in the end a
lot of people have contributed one way or the other. Thanks everybody!

Awesome!

Nice!

Over the years, these were what brought the Hurd from “it crashes within
one hour of compiling” to “it can fully self host and the Hurd website
can run on a Hurd”.

Thank you very much!

Is this support enabled by default? I don't see the CPU enumeration in my VirtualBox VM (later I will repeat the test in real hardware)

Is this support enabled by default?

No, they are too experimental for the moment :)
