Theo de Raadt has announced the release of OpenBSD
5.0, a new version of a BSD-based operating system renown for its high
security thanks to meticulous code review. Some of the new features and
systems in the new release include: "Improved
hardware support, including: MSI interrupts for many devices, on those
architectures which can support them (amd64, i386, sparc64 only so far);
a new dma_alloc(9) API makes it easier for kernel code to allocate
dma-safe memory; as a result, big-memory support has been enabled on all
possible architectures; the rather rare bce(4) driver now copies mbufs
all the time, to cope with the hardware having a 1 GB limit. Highlights:
GNOME 2.32.2, KDE 3.5.10, Mozilla Firefox 3.5.19, 3.6.18 and 5.0,
LibreOffice 3.4.1, PHP 5.2.17 and 5.3.6, Chromium 12.0.742.122...." A much more comprehensive list of features can be found in the detailed release notes. Quick links to download installation CD images for the i386 and amd64 architectures: i386/install50.iso (219MB, SHA256), amd64/install50.iso (233MB, SHA256).
