Oh yeah, this is one I was waiting for. The new and improved FreeBSD is out. Release 6.2 will bring happiness and joy among Systems Administrators but not only. The new release brings some neat features :
-
freebsd-update(8) provides officially supported binary updates for security fixes and errata patches
-
Experimental support for CAPP security event auditing
-
OpenBSM audit command line tool suite and library
-
KDE updated to 3.5.4, GNOME updated to 2.16.1
-
csup(1) integrated cvsup client now included
-
Disk integrity protection and authentication added to geli(4)
-
New amdsmb(4), enc(4) ipmi(4), nfsmb(4), stge(4) drivers
-
IPFW(4) packet tagging
-
Linux emulation support for sysfs
-
BIND updated to 9.3.3
-
Many driver updates including em(4), arcmsr(4), ath(4), bce(4), ata(4), and iwi(4)
This is of course not all, if you take a look at all the bugs fixed in this new version. I already have a production server currently being recompiled. One sexy feature is definitely csup which goes much faster (and through http) than the ancient cvsup.
