NetBSD 2.0, yra dešimtoji NetBSD operacines sistemos versija, ji buvo išleista 48 architektūrom. Daugiau informacijos skaitykite 2.0 versijos pristatyme.

NetBSD 2.0 tęsia savo tradicijas ir neskaitant įvairiausių patobulinimų failinėje sistemoje, atminties naudojime, buvo įdiegta daugybė su saugumu susijusių naujovių, atsirado palaikymas naujoms platformoms bei įrenginiams.

Įdiegus native threads visoms platformoms ir multiprocesorių palaikymą (SMP) buvo turbūt didžiausi ir laukiamiausi NetBSD 2.0 versijos pasiekimai. Abu šie pasiekimai leidžia naudoti met?SMP palaikymą i386, SPARC ir PowerPC platformoms, o SMP palaikymas Alpha ir VAX platformoms buvo dar labiau patobulintas. Beje, naujausi 64-bitų AMD/Opteron procesoriai taip pat palaiko SMP.

Daugybė FTP veidrodžių jau gali pateikti jums NetBSD 2.0 distribuciją. Maloniai kviečiame pasinaudoti NetBSD FTP veidrodžiais esančiais arčiausiai jūsų. Taip pat pirmą kartą jūs galite pasinaudoję net/bittorrent parsisiūsti visus turimus ISO atvaizdus.

After tagging NetBSD-2.0_RC1 and NetBSD-2.0_RC2, there have been a few pullups that fix some issues with Linux emulation under NetBSD/i386 as well as some installation problems under some of the arm-based ports. This means that the final release of NetBSD 2.0 will need to be pushed back approximately 1-2 weeks to allow for testing of this Release Candidate.

30 Sep 2004 - NetBSD Version Numbering Scheme Changes (į viršų)

Christos Zoulas announced that the NetBSD Core Team ratified the proposed changes to the NetBSD version numbering scheme to clarify the relationship between ``current'' and ``release'' versions of NetBSD.

A detailed explanation of why these changes were necessary and how they are implemented can be found in Christos' message to the tech-kern mailing list.

30 Sep 2004 - NetBSD again sets Internet2 Land Speed World Record (į viršų)

NetBSD does it again: after the original Internet2 Land Speed Record set by NetBSD in 2004 May 3 was broken, NetBSD shines again: Once more researchers at the Swedish University Network (SUNET) have broken the Internet2 Land Speed Record, using the upcoming version of NetBSD 2.0.

The new records are 124.935 Pbmps in a single stream (was 69.073 Pbmps), and 122.367 Pbmps in multiple streams. NetBSD was used once more due to the ``scalability of it's TCP code''.

More information about this record including the NetBSD configuration can be found at: http://proj.sunet.se/LSR3-s/ for single stream and http://proj.sunet.se/LSR3-m/ for multiple streams. And the website of the Internet2 Land Speed Record (I2-LSR) competition is located at: http://lsr.internet2.edu/.

27 Sep 2004 - NetBSD 2.0 RC1 tagged (į viršų)

The NetBSD Releng Team has announced that the first Release Candidate for NetBSD 2.0 (ie NetBSD-2.0_RC1) has been tagged. This is a major milestone in the much anticipated release of NetBSD 2.0: from now on, any pullups must address some form of show-stopping issue to even be considered. The NetBSD Project encourages all users to test the binary snapshots that will soon be available on the release engineering ftp server.

If no pullups are necessary, then the 2.0 release should occur around the middle of October. Any fixes resulting in pullups will cause a second RC cycle to begin and add approximately 1-2 weeks more to the timeline.

22 Sep 2004 - Hardware failure on www.NetBSD.org (į viršų)

The server hosting www.NetBSD.org and mail-index.NetBSD.org suffered a serious hardware failure and is currently offline.

During the last few months Chuck Silvers has refined the support for non-executable mappings. Non-executable mappings make parts of the stack and heap non-executable when they are marked writable. This makes exploiting potential buffer overflows harder.

Since there seems to be some confusion about which platforms support non-executable mappings, we have added a separate page with detailed information about the current state of non-executable mappings.

More information on previous Security Advisories is available in the NetBSD Security pages.

03 May 2004 - NetBSD sets Internet2 Land Speed World Record (į viršų)

Researchers at the Swedish University Network (SUNET) have broken the Internet2 Land Speed Record using two Dell 2650 machines with single 2GHz CPUs running NetBSD 2.0 BETA. SUNET transferred around 840 Gigabytes of data in less than 30 minutes, using a single IPv4 TCP stream, between a host at the Luleå University of Technology and a host connected to a Sprint PoP in San Jose, CA, USA. The achieved speed was 69.073 Petabit-meters/second. According to the research team, NetBSD was chosen "due to the scalability of the TCP code".

More information about this record including the NetBSD configuration can be found at: http://proj.sunet.se/LSR2/

06 Jan 2004 - pkgsrc gets experimental ``pkgviews'' (į viršų)

The NetBSD Packages Collection aka pkgsrc now has support for an experimental new framework called ``pkgviews''. This framework, finally allowing multiple versions of one package to co-exist without conflicts (among other great features), was first proposed by Alistair Crooks at EuroBSDCon 2002 and has been integrated into pkgsrc by Johnny C. Lam, who just posted a User's guide to the tech-pkg MailingList.
