NetBSD 2.1 Released

jschauma writes "NetBSD for everyone! Lots of news regarding new NetBSD releases: On October 31st, 2005, NetBSD 2.0.3, a source-only security update of the NetBSD 2.0 release, was announced. Since many people are still somewhat confused by the new versioning scheme used in NetBSD, this release was preceeded by an explanation of the NetBSD branches. Only two days after the 2.0.3 announcement, on November 2nd, 2005, NetBSD 2.1 was released. NetBSD 2.1 is the first maintenance release of the netbsd-2 release branch, and was announced with binary distributions for 54 architectures. Primary means of distribution include bittorrent." jschauma continues, "Not entirely by coincidence, a number of security advisories was released almost simultaneously, which for the most part have been fixed in these two latest releases. However, since the release engineering process could not be delayed even further, there are three advisories that affect even NetBSD 2.1 -- a security update on this branch (ie NetBSD 2.1.1) is expected to be released very soon as well. Finally, the NetBSD release engineering team also released an update of revised estimate for the release date of NetBSD 3.0, the next major release which will bring a number of new features. Please consider making a tax-deductible (in the US) donation to support NetBSD."
