Subject: Announcing the release of NetBSD 3.0
Announcing NetBSD 3.0
Introduction
The NetBSD Project is pleased to announce that release 3.0 of the
NetBSD operating system is now available.
NetBSD is widely known as the most portable operating system in the
world. It currently supports fifty seven different system
architectures, all from a single source tree, and is always being
ported to more.
NetBSD 3.0 continues our long tradition with major improvements in
stability, performance, networking, security, also includes support
for two new platforms (iyonix and hp700), and many new peripherals.
Far reaching improvements to the network stack will not only provide
better performance but also make NetBSD an excellent choice for a
VPN gateway. PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) framework
adds more flexibility to NetBSD's user management and simplifies
integration into heterogeneous networks. The kernel, libraries and
utilities can now handle filesystems larger than two terabytes, and
support for Xen 2.0 allows hosting many virtual servers on a single
machine.
Please read below for more achievements in NetBSD 3.0!
Complete source and binaries for NetBSD 3.0 are available for download
at many sites around the world. A list of download sites providing
FTP, AnonCVS, SUP, and other services is provided at the end of this
announcement; the latest list of available download sites may also be
found at:

We encourage users who wish to install via a CD-ROM ISO image to
download via BitTorrent by using the torrent files supplied in the
ISO image area.

About NetBSD
The NetBSD operating system is a full-featured, open source, UNIX-like
operating system descended from the Berkeley Networking Release 2
(Net/2), 4.4BSD-Lite, and 4.4BSD-Lite2. NetBSD 3.0 runs on 57
different system architectures featuring 17 machine architectures
across 17 distinct CPU families, and is being ported to more. The
NetBSD 3.0 release contains complete binary releases for 53 different
machine types, with the platforms amigappc, bebox, pc532 and
playstation2 released in source form only.
NetBSD is a highly integrated system. In addition to its highly
portable, high performance kernel, NetBSD features a complete set of
user utilities, compilers for several languages, the X Window System,
firewall software and numerous other tools, all accompanied by full
source code. The NetBSD Packages Collection, pkgsrc, contains over
5,700 packages. Binary package releases for a number of platforms are
currently in progress.
More information on the goals of the NetBSD Project can be procured
from the NetBSD website at:
http://www.NetBSD.org/Goals/
NetBSD is free. All of the code is under non-restrictive licenses, and
may be used without paying royalties to anyone. Free support services
are available via our mailing lists and website. Commercial support is
available from a variety of sources; some are listed at:
http://www.NetBSD.org/gallery/consultants.html
More extensive information on NetBSD is available from the NetBSD
website:

NetBSD is the work of a diverse group of people spread around the
world. The "Net" in our name is a tribute to the Internet, which
enables us to communicate and share code, and without which the
project would not exist.

Major Changes Between 2.0 and 3.0
The complete list of changes can be found in the CHANGES-3.0 file
in the top level directory of the NetBSD 3.0 release tree. Some
highlights include:
Supported platforms and machines
* A port to new platform: iyonix. The iyonix port supports the
Iyonix PC, which is a desktop computer from Castle Technology,
based on a 600MHz XScale 80321 processor.
* The xen port now supports Xen 2.0, both in privileged and
unprivileged mode.
* The evbarm port has support for the TS-7200 single board
computer, which is also known as "the NetBSD Controlled
Toaster".
* The sgimips port now supports IP12 (Personal Iris 4D/30, 4D/35,
and Indigo R3K) machines.
* The PowerPC 601 support is added, and the prep port now supports
IBM RS/6000 60P 7020-011.
Kernel
* The i386 port now supports the Enhanced SpeedStep Technology.
* Added the statvfs(2) family of system calls.
* Added ptm(4), Unix/98 pty multiplexor device.
* Added swwdog(4), a software watchdog timer facility.
* The autoconfiguration framework is rewritten for device driver LKMs.
* compat_darwin(8) emulation now supports Mac OS X version 10.3
binaries.
* The sparc64 and shark ports have switched to wscons(9), the
machine-independent console framework. Additionally, the sparc64
port switched to an XFree86 based X server and now supports the
cg6, mach64 and ffb/afb framebuffers with acceleration.
* Added new pselect(2) and pollts(2) synchronous I/O multiplexing
system calls.
* Added another experimental buffer queue strategy, BUFQ_PRIOCSCAN,
per-priority cyclical scan. Note: the existing strategy
NEW_BUFQ_STRATEGY is renamed to BUFQ_READPRIO, since that gives
priority to issuing read requests over write requests.
* The way to allocate a kernel structure, map entry, was improved so
that it doesn't need preliminary knowledge of system load, i.e.,
users no longer have to define "options MAX_KMAPENT" in their
kernel configurations even on busy servers.
Networking
* TCP now supports TCP Selective Acknowledgement Options (RFC 2018)
for enhanced performance (especially on long distance
connections), and TCP MD5 signatures (RFC 2385) for enhanced
protection against attacks.

packet filter solution.
* IP Filter has been upgraded to version 4.1.8.
* The KAME IPsec stack now supports ESP over NAT connections (RFC
3948).
* IPv4 Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) routing support has been
added.
* ipsec-tools 0.6.3 provides IKE support for ESP over NAT connections
(RFC 3947), user authentication via XAuth, and automatic network
configurations of VPN clients via Mode Config.
* Added RFC 3378 EtherIP support, which makes it possible to add
gif(4) interface to bridges.
