FreeBSD 8.1 arrives
FreeBSD Logo Originally scheduled for the 9th of July, the FreeBSD Release
Engineering Team has now issued version 8.1 of its popular free Unix
derivative, the first stable major point update to version 8.0 of FreeBSD
from November of last year. According to the developers, FreeBSD 8.1 has
improved functionality and introduces some new features.
FreeBSD 8.1 features version 14 of the ZFS subsystem, the addition of the ZFS
Loader (zfsloader), allowing users to boot from ZFS, and NFSv4 ACL support
for the UFS and ZFS file systems. Desktop updates include version 2.30.1 of
GNOME and the latest 4.4.5 release of KDE SC. Other changes include SMP
support in PowerPC G5, the integration of BIND 9.6.2-P2 and various package
updates, including version 8.14.4 of sendmail and OpenSSH 5.4p1. Support for
UltraSPARC IV/IV+ and SPAR64 V have also been added.
More details about the release can be found in the official release
announcement, release notes and on the Errata page. FreeBSD 8.1 is available
to download as an ISO image for AMD64, i386, ia64, PC98, PowerPC and SPARC64
systems from one of the project's FTP sites. An installation gude is
provided. Users currently running FreeBSD 7.0 or later can upgrade via the
freebsd-update utility.
