8.0.1 plans

[jpaetzel]

I've just finished a cross-country move from Minnesota to California, and while I've been somewhat silent and behind the scenes for a bit, the dev team has been as busy as ever. They tell me that they've finished a raft of fixes and improvements, and while we aren't ready to move towards an RC, we should push out another BETA.

I'm working on that as we speak, and hopefully we'll have something out very soon...maybe as soon as today.

(Yes, we have integrated netatalk 2.2)

Anyways, back to coding, but I thought I'd post a note real quick since there has been quite a bit of radio silence.

cheers j. if there's one thing people do like, it's being kept in the loop. looking forward to the release and thanks for all the hard work you and the devs are putting in to make freenas one of the best storage options going.

Great stuff! Looking forward to a new beta release to setup my TimeMachine. :)
Thanks for the great effort in improving an already excellent package.

I too want to thank you and your team for your work on quickly pushing out a beta that integrates netatalk 2.2. I can well understand how busy you must be with a long distance move. Thanks for accomplishing so much under what must be stress conditions. I will eagerly been watch for a fresh beta.

Thanks for the update! Great work, as usual.

Thanks for the update, welcome to CA ;-)


Just a reminder to everyone, if you've made any custom changes, such as loader.conf, or other config files, BACK THEM UP before you upgrade, or they'll all be lost.

What's the easiest way to get a hold of the source code?

 

[ProtoSD]

Look at the How-To for rebuilding the kernel or you can browse the latest trunk here:
http://support.freenas.org/browser/freenas/trunk/

There's also nightly builds of trunk from svn:

Call me crazy but that is not a valid SVN repository :( and I searched the wiki for the How-To rebuilt kernel and didn't find it either. :(

Tekkie, did you follow the procedure described here: http://forums.freenas.org/showthread.php?51-How-to-compile-FreeNAS-8 ?

 

[Nico]

Any new on when 8.0.1 is comming? =)

 

[ProtoSD]

We're waiting for Beta 5 right now, and then presumably a few RC's, so probably not until the end of September or mid-October would be my guess.

EDIT: Looking more like end of November or later now....

 

[louis-m]

sunday morning and the lastest snapshots have gone up. is 8r7260 beta5?

 

[survive]

Hi louis-m,

Nope. Beta 5 should show up here:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/freenas/files/FreeNAS-8.0.1/

when it's released.

[louis-m]

cheers. it's just there was a lot of upgrade images starting to show whereas before it was mostly iso's.

 

[andrema2]

Any clues on a firm date for beta 5 or 8.0.1 final release ? At the roadmap page for 8.0.1 it says it will be released in 6 days.

 

[Daisuke]

I would love to have the 8.0.1 installed in one week. :)

 

[royemans]

According to the roadmap 8.01 will be released in 16 hours ....

:D Interesting... I assume you mean 8.0.1-B5 ;)
