NetBSD 9.4 is primarily a bug and security fix rele NetBSD 9.4 contains various improvements pulled up from the current branch to the netbsd-9 stable branch since NetBSD 9.3 was cut on August 4, 2022. NetBSD 9.4 is primarily a bug and security fix release, however, there are some new features, such as support for more MegaRAID controllers, ZTE MF112 and D-Link DWM222 USB 3G modems, and improved CPU feature detection for newer AMD/Intel devices. All users of netbsd-9 should upgrade if they are not following the stable branch. Important: the version of OpenSSL included with NetBSD 9.x is now unsupported unless a support contract is purchased from OpenSSL, and cannot be upgraded without breaking the ABI compatibility we’ve promised for the netbsd-9 branch. Users are recommended to update to NetBSD 10 or use OpenSSL from pkgsrc. https://os.watch/netbsd/9.4 Tue, 23 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000 https://os.watch/releases.rss Fedora Linux celebrates its 40th release, marking a milestone for the community-driven operating system.

This release is based on Debian 12.5 'Bookworm' but uses a newer Linux kernel 6.8, QEMU 8.1, LXC 6.0, Ceph 18.2 and ZFS 2.2. We have an import wizard to migrate VMware ESXi guests to Proxmox VE. The integrated VM importer is presented as storage plugin for native integration into the API and web-based user interface. You can use this to import the VM as a whole, with most of the original configuration settings mapped to Proxmox VE's configuration model. With the new proxmox-auto-install-assistant tool you can fully automate the setup process on bare-metal, rapidly deploying Proxmox VE hosts without the need for manual access to the systems. https://os.watch/proxmox/8.2 Wed, 24 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000 https://os.watch/releases.rss After a successful beta release and the fastest adoption of release candidate software in TrueNAS history, TrueNAS SCALE 24.04 'Dragonfish' roars onto the scene in its official release today.
