Support for the Netlink protocol, used in the Linux kernel, has been added in FreeBSD.

Posted on

The FreeBSD codebase has adopted the implementation of the Netlink communication protocol (RFC 3549), used in Linux for organizing interaction between the kernel and user-space processes. The project is limited to supporting the NETLINK_ROUTE family of operations for managing the state of the networking subsystem in the kernel. In its current form, the level of Netlink support allows the use of the Linux utility ip from the iproute2 package for managing network interfaces, […]

The prototype of the ALP platform, which is set to replace SUSE Linux Enterprise, has been released.

Posted on

SUSE has released the first prototype of the ALP (Adaptable Linux Platform), positioned as a continuation of the SUSE Linux Enterprise distribution. A key feature of the new system is the separation of the distribution's core into two parts: a streamlined 'host OS' for running on hardware and a layer for application support, focused on running in containers and virtual machines. The builds are prepared for the x86_64 architecture. […]

Posted on

The release of the distributed version control system Git 2.38 has been announced. Git is one of the most popular, reliable, and high-performance version control systems, providing flexible tools for nonlinear development based on branching and merging. To ensure the integrity of the history and resilience to "backward" changes, implicit hashing of all previous history is used in each commit, and digital confirmation is also possible. [ … ]

Changes have been approved in Linux kernel 6.1 to support the Rust language.

The patches were accepted after one and a half years of testing in the linux-next branch and addressing the raised issues. The release of kernel 6.1 is expected in December. The primary motivation for supporting Rust is to simplify the writing of safe and high-quality drivers. [ … ]

The Postgres WASM project has created a browser-based environment with the PostgreSQL DBMS.

Posted on

The Postgres WASM project has opened its developments, creating an environment with the PostgreSQL database management system that runs inside the browser. The associated code is open under the MIT license. A toolkit is provided for building a browser-based virtual machine with a stripped-down Linux environment, PostgreSQL server 14.5, and accompanying utilities (psql, pg_dump). The final build size is approximately 30 MB. The virtual machine's internals are formed using buildroot scripts. [ … ]

Release of Linux kernel 6.0

Posted on

After two months of development, Linus Torvalds presented the release of the Linux kernel 6.0. The significant change in version number was made for aesthetic reasons and is a formal step to relieve discomfort caused by the accumulation of a large number of releases in the series (Linus joked that the reason for changing the version number is that he is running out of fingers on his hands and feet to count the versions). Among […]
