Created Feb 28 2008 - 11:17

"Hello everyone! We are happy to say that the 1.12 release is now available!" began Matthew Dillon, announcing the latest stable version of DragonFly BSD [1]. The project's home page explains, "DragonFly is an operating system and environment originally based on FreeBSD. DragonFly branched from FreeBSD in 2003 in order to develop a radically different approach to concurrency, SMP, and most other kernel subsystems." Regarding the latest release, Matt explained:

"This release is primarily a maintenance update. A lot of work has been done all over the kernel and userland. There are no new big-ticket items though we have pushed the MP lock further into the kernel.

"The 2.0 release is scheduled for mid-year. Of the current big-ticket item work, the new HAMMER filesystem [2] is almost to the alpha stage of development and is expected to be production ready by the mid-year 2.0 release."

Hello everyone!  We are happy to say that the 1.12 release is now
    available!

    This release is primarily a maintainance update.  A lot of work has been
    done all over the kernel and userland.  There are no new big-ticket items
    though we have pushed the MP lock further into the kernel.

    The 2.0 release is scheduled for mid-year.

    Of the current big-ticket item work, the new HAMMER filesystem is almost
    to the alpha stage of development and is expected to be production ready
    by the mid-year 2.0 release.

    there's too much to test for a monday release we will release
    Wednesday.
