NetBSD 1.5 Cycle Begins

Posted by Nik on from the NP:-I-want-to-ride-my-bicycle dept.

KarmaHo writes "From the NetBSD web page: Today, the release cycle for NetBSD 1.5 has started. The NetBSD 1.5 release is scheduled for early fall this year. Of course, we want this to be the best NetBSD release ever, as with every release. To help achieve this goal, you can test the ALPHA and BETA snapshots that will be made available, or track the release branch sources."

    Today? Hardly. This is Old News. Slashdot is falling further and further behind and frankly, it's depressing.

      Hey, when I submitted it, it was "today"... Just not by the time the had actually posted it ;)

  3. Loads of nice features... by jarkko · · Score: 4

    So many features, so little time ...
    Let me see. IPv6, softdeps, integrated crypto (might happen, at least in part due to the RSA patent expiration. We'll see what happens to cryptosrc-intl and domestic) etc...

    The changelist from 1.4 to 1.5 is here. Since the 1.5 branch is effectively frozen the 1.5 to 1.6 changelog is here.

    I'm actually testing the 1.5ALPHA releases at the moment. Looks OK.
