DragonflyBSD v5.0 released
- baldfat 9y agoDragonfly was certainly my favorite BSD, but not enough for me to leave Linux and OpenSUSE.
- algorithm314 9y agosupports only x86 so deal breaker
- k_sze 9y agoJust to clarify, you mean there's no (official) build for ARM/MIPS/etc, right? DragonflyBSD itself is officially supported on x86_64.
- jrs95 9y agoThe only good reason I can think of to support something other than x86_64 is running on something like a raspberry pi or some sort of 'embedded' device. That's not really suited to the goals of Dragonfly anyways, NetBSD or Linux are a much better fit there.
- joshbaptiste 9y agoWell yes because Dfly has really small community compared to even FreeBSD .. supporting/testing multiple architectures is a monumental task for distro maintainers.
- Koshkin 9y agoI'd use Plan 9, if I could. And yes, Linux is the closest thing right now.
- Blackthorn 9y agoCongratulations! Is there a more detailed changelog available?
- tyingq 9y agohttps://www.dragonflybsd.org/release50/ https://www.dragonflybsd.org/release50/ Scroll down to "All changes since DragonFly 4.8" Or the 3 links in the 3rd paragraph...
- Koshkin 9y agoLooks interesting! Anybody using it? Couldn't find the answer on the web.
- joshbaptiste 9y agoYes I run DragonFly 4.6 in my VMWare cluster and use it mainly as a file server.
- l2dy 9y agohttps://www.dragonflybsd.org/release50/ https://www.dragonflybsd.org/release50/ > Preliminary HAMMER2 support has been released into the wild as-of the 5.0 release.
- ceratopisan 9y agoIt's not released; it's just tagged. Seriously, I haven't even finished building the release image yet.
- sctb 9y agoThanks! We've buried this thread so we can have one for the actual release materials.
- joshbaptiste 9y agoI really wish Dfly had more shine (especially in the cloud space), because I would like to see how the hybrid mono/micro kernel architecture compares to todays heavy monolithic architectures in terms of raw transaction speed and stability at scale.
