Software-update: NetBSD 10.1

NetBSD is een Unix-achtig besturingssysteem dat zijn oorsprong in de 386BSD 0.1-tak kent. De eerste versie, NetBSD 0.8, werd op 21 april 1993 uitgebracht en heeft zich sindsdien steeds verder ontwikkeld. Van de bekende BSD-varianten FreeBSD, OpenBSD en NetBSD kan de laatstgenoemde op de meeste platforms gedraaid worden. De ontwikkelaars hebben NetBSD 10.1 uitgebracht en de changelog daarvan ziet er als volgt uit:

Kernel

• compat_netbsd32: add support for SIOCGIFDATA and SIOCZIFDATA ioctls. fixes for signal handling.

• zvol: implement DIOCCACHESYNC, improves performance with ZFS on a Xen domU.
• socket(2): fixed performance regressions.
• bridge(4): implemented interface protection, a feature similar to "protected-port" or "isolation" in some router products. When a frame arrives on a protected interface and is being forwarded to another protected interface, the frame will be discarded.

PowerPC...
Ik ben wel benieuwd wat voor graphics ze daar dan uit halen.
