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.

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.

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 […]
