It's not released; it's just tagged. Seriously, I haven't even finished building the release image yet.

Thanks! We've buried this thread so we can have one for the actual release materials.

I really wish Dfly had more shine (especially in the cloud space), because I would like to see how the hybrid mono/micro kernel architecture compares to todays heavy monolithic architectures in terms of raw transaction speed and stability at scale.

Dragonfly was certainly my favorite BSD, but not enough for me to leave Linux and OpenSUSE.

I'd use Plan 9, if I could. And yes, Linux is the closest thing right now.

In regards to Plan9 I prefer Inferno, given it is its last iteration, specially with Limbo instead of Alef that was dropped on Plan 9.

The language is a barrier there. Maybe if we could use go!

C is still there on Inferno, if that is what you mean.

supports only x86 so deal breaker

Just to clarify, you mean there's no (official) build for ARM/MIPS/etc, right?

DragonflyBSD itself is officially supported on x86_64.

The only good reason I can think of to support something other than x86_64 is running on something like a raspberry pi or some sort of 'embedded' device. That's not really suited to the goals of Dragonfly anyways, NetBSD or Linux are a much better fit there.

Well yes because Dfly has really small community compared to even FreeBSD .. supporting/testing multiple architectures is a monumental task for distro maintainers.

Looks interesting! Anybody using it? Couldn't find the answer on the web.

Yes I run DragonFly 4.6 in my VMWare cluster and use it mainly as a file server.

Congratulations! Is there a more detailed changelog available?
