NetBSD 7.0_RC1
21 June, 2015 by snj@NetBSD.org | netbsd
On behalf of the NetBSD project, it is my pleasure to announce the first release candidate of NetBSD 7.0. Many changes have been made since 6.0. Here are a few highlights: - Greatly improved support for modern Intel and Radeon graphics hardware through a port of the Linux DRM/KMS code. Most X.Org components have been updated as well. - ARM multiprocessor support - Support for new ARM boards, some of which are listed below: * Raspberry Pi 2 * ODROID-C1 * BeagleBoard-xM * BeagleBone * BeagleBone Black * Banana Pi * Cubieboard 2 * Cubietruck * Merii Hummingbird * Marvell ARMADA XP * GlobalScale MiraBox * Kobo * Sharp Netwalker PC-Z1 - GPT support in sysinst - Lua kernel scripting - Multiprocessor USB stack - Many improvements to NPF, the NetBSD packet filter - GCC 4.8.4 (and optionally, LLVM/Clang 3.6.1) Binaries of NetBSD 7.0_RC1 are available for download at: ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-7.0_RC1/ Those who prefer to build from source can either use the netbsd-7-0-RC1 tag or follow the netbsd-7 branch. Please help us out by testing 7.0_RC1. We love any and all feedback. Report problems through the usual channels (submit a PR or write to the appropriate list). More general feedback is welcome at releng@NetBSD.org. Your input will help us put the finishing touches on what promises to be a great release! Enjoy, Soren
