While the project is still in early development, it + already offers multiple unique features not found in other + projects. Unlike similar projects, nothing is stripped away from + the base operating system, meaning ZFSguru behaves as a normal + FreeBSD installation and thus is very versatile. The web-interface + is designed to unite both novice and advanced users, providing + both very easy to use basic functionality as well as features to + be appreciated by more experienced users. The modular nature of + the project combats the danger of bloat, whilst still allowing + extended functionality to be easily deployed.</p> + + <p>On the 15th of August, version 0.3 of ZFSguru was released. Some + highlights of the new version:</p> + + <ul> + <li>New build infrastructure allows for frequent releases of + system images and services in a semi-automated way.</li> + <li>A new GuruDB database allows for a growing number of system + images and servers, and provide good caching to accelerate + pages.</li> + <li>The installation procedure was given a major + overhaul.</li> + <li>In addition to the LiveCD, USB images are now available. + The USB image supports both legacy MBR bootcode and UEFI boot + support.</li> + <li>Many libraries in the web-interface have been + overhauled, in addition to many other additions to the + web interface.</li> + <li>Many improvements were made to optional add-on services, + such as the new Gnome 3 graphical environment.</li> + </ul> + + <p>Other progress made in the months July, August and + September:</p> + + <ul> + <li>System image builds 001, 002, 003 and 004 have been + released for all supported branches: 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 + (-STABLE) and 11.0 (-CURRENT).</li> + <li>Work on the 0.4 web-interface has started, which focuses + on improving network support in the web-interface.</li> + <li>Work on a new visual theme for the web-interface has + started. The new interface is likely to be included in the upcoming + 0.4 release.</li> + <li>A new master server is being prepared, which is likely to be + operational in December.</li> + <li>A new website is being worked on, to be launched the 1st + of January, 2016.</li> + </ul> + </body> + + <help> + <task> + <p>The new Gnome 3 desktop does not work for everyone + and still has issues. Anyone capable of diagnosing these issues + can give the Gnome 3 LiveCD a try. Please see the linked + forum thread for more information.</p> + </task> + + <task> + <p>Several ports fail to compile with our own build + infrastructure, and require bug reports in order to get + them fixed upstream.</p> + </task> + + <task> + <p>A 'State of the Project 2015' is due in Q4, providing an + overview for future development of the project.</p> + </task> + </help> + </project> + </report>
