Software-update: NetBSD 3.0 RC5

NetBSD is een Unix-achtig besturingssysteem met zijn wortels in de 386BSD 0.1-tak. De eerste versie, NetBSD 0.8, was beschikbaar op 21 april 1993 en heeft zich sindsdien steeds verder ontwikkeld. Van de drie bekende BSD-varianten, FreeBSD, OpenBSD en NetBSD, ondersteunt de laatste de meeste verschillende platformen. De vijfde release candidate van versie 3.0 is met de volgende aankondiging uitgebracht:

Hello,

on behalf of the NetBSD Release Engineering team, I'm happy to announce the availability of NetBSD 3.0 RC5 for testing.

NetBSD 3.0 RC5 is available in the "daily builds" section of your local FTP mirror (in the /pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-3-0-RC5 directory on most mirrors), and we encourage you to test it out and report any bugs using send-pr(1).

We hope that this will be the final release candidate for NetBSD 3.0, barring any major issues or security problems.

Here is a brief summary of changes from NetBSD 3.0_RC1 to 3.0_RC5:

• ipsec-tools 0.6.3 fixing the security hole reported in CAN-2005-3732
• fixed a security hole in kernfs
• bug fixes for the bge(4), esiop(4), siop(4), sk(4) and ulpt(4) drivers
• updated package tools
• added missing BIND 9 tools (DNSSEC, zone checking)
• fixed support for files larger than 4GB in gzip(1)
• improved optimization in the NetBSD-sparc64 compiler
• fixed memory corruption under NetBSD-sgimips on R41xx, R4600, and R5000/Rm52xx machines
• fix PCI support for SIS 741 chipsets (NetBSD-i386)
• the NetBSD-amd64 installation medias now support the SysKonnect Gigabit ethernet interfaces via the sk(4) driver

Kind regards
Matthias Scheler
