FreeNAS 9.2.1-RC2

Announcing FreeNAS 9.2.1-RELEASE 

After one BETA, two Release Candidates, and many nightly builds (which many of you tested, to our everlasting gratitude) we are, as always, proud to announce the public availability of FreeNAS 9.2.1-RELEASE.
FreeNAS 9.2.0 was a great release, and we’re pleased to say that FreeNAS 9.2.1 is even better!   Since 9.2.0 was released, we have fixed over 189 bugs, added new features, polished the UI, and improved the performance of FreeNAS even further!
The documentation has also been updated for 9.2.1, though the source code (see release notes) is still a useful reference for features like the web API, which comes with several examples in the source tree.



Other news

DragonFly and Google Summer of Code 2014 

Already asked this question on kernel@, but repeat it here.  Who is interested in mentoring for DragonFly, for Google Summer of Code 2014?  The org application period is starting today, and it would be neat to do this for a seventh year in a row.

Time to bid farewell to the old pkg_ tools

There comes a time in the life cycle of just about every software package that it has bee re-evaluated, refreshed, deprecated or just retired.
It is time that we bid farewell to the old pkg_* software that has been part of FreeBSD since the beginning, and has served us well. After years of development, testing, and playing, pkg(8) has become a suitable replacement.
