MirBSD #10 (Default branch) |
|
|
MirBSD originated as a patch set against OpenBSD-current, an ultra secure operating system and NetBSD derivate, and has since also incorporated changes from NetBSD, a 4.4BSD-derived ultra portable operating system. It features bugfixes, code removal for the sake of simplicity, and feature enhancements over stock OpenBSD as well as a much more up-to-date GNU toolchain, careful integration of patches from other projects (such as KAME), and many improvements. It works on the Intel Pentium and some 80486 machines with more than 32 MiB RAM and the SPARC, and a port to the PowerPC Macintosh is in preparation.

Changes:
This release features Unicode (UTF-8) support and
integrates iconv. Besides i386, sparc (v8) is now
a fully supported platform. The system shell mksh
is now at R33. Numerous small bugs have been fixed
all over the place. The native MirPorts Framework
now also works on MidnightBSD, in addition to
Darwin and OpenBSD and Interix, and NetBSD pkgsrc
works on MirBSD.
