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

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:

    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.
      * TCP  can take advantage of hardware-assisted TCP/IPv4 segmentation
        on re(4), wm(4), and xge(4) interfaces.
      * The  OpenBSD  Packet  Filter has been integrated as an alternative
        packet filter solution.

      * 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.
      * Added tap(4), the virtual Ethernet device.
      * pp(4) has been updated to 2.4.3.

        functions in FreeBSD and Linux.

Security

      * The  Veriexec framework is now using hash tables to store per-file
        data,  resulting  in  much  faster  operation.  It  supports  four
        different  enforcement  levels  and  full  control over verbosity.
        Signature  files are easier to generate and are more flexible than
        in the previous version.
      * Added SHA2 to libc to provide more secure hashing algorithms and
        made cksum(1) and mtree(8) support them.

System administration and user tools

      * Various improvements to the "sysinst" installation program,
        including Spanish language translation.
      * Numerous improvements to syslogd(8), mostly from FreeBSD.

        seq(1) is derived from Plan 9.

Miscellaneous

      * audio(9) interface is improved. Added audio software filter
        pipeline capabilities, making it easier for hardware drivers to
        add encoding support or sample rates support.
      * Updates  of most third party packages that are shipped in the base
        system to the following stable releases:
           o am-utils 6.1-rc2

      * Many new and updated packages in the pkgsrc system, including
        current versions of the KDE, GNOME and Xfce desktops, the Perl
        language, the Apache web server and a lot more. At the time of
        writing, there are over 5,700 third party packages available in
        pkgsrc.

    And  of  course  there  have also been innumerable bug fixes and other
    miscellaneous enhancements.
