Announcing NetBSD 4.0
The NetBSD Project has announced
the release of v4.0 of the NetBSD operating system. "Major
achievements in NetBSD 4.0 include support for version 3 of the Xen
virtual machine monitor, Bluetooth, many new device drivers and embedded
platforms based on ARM, PowerPC and MIPS CPUs. New network services
include iSCSI target (server) code and an implementation of the Common
Address Redundancy Protocol. Also, system security was further enhanced
with restrictions of mprotect(2) to enforce W^X policies, the Kernel
Authorization framework, and improvements of the Veriexec file integrity
subsystem, which can be used to harden the system against trojan horses
and virus attacks."
