As focused as we are on the present and what is happening + now, it is sometimes useful to take a reminder at where we have + come from, and where we are going. This quarter, we had our + newest doc committer working to trace through the tangled + history of many utilities, and we also get a glimpse looking + forward at what may come in &os; 12.

+ +

Though 11.0-RELEASE was not finalized until after the period + covered in this report, we can still have some anticipatory + excitement for the features that will be coming in 12.0. The + possibilities are tantalizing: a base system with no GPL + components, arm64 as a Tier-1 architecture, capsicum protection + for common utilities, and the CloudABI for custom software are + just a few.

+ +

The work of the present is no less exciting, with 11.0 + making its way out just after the end of Q3, the new core + coming into its own, and much more that you'll have to read + to find out.
