NetBSD 10.0 BETA available


December 20, 2022 posted by Nia Alarie


After nearly 3 whole years of development (work started on NetBSD 10
in late 2019), BETA snapshots have finally been published for
interested users to test. More changes will be backported from the
development branch over the next few months before we tag a final
release, so the BETA images will keep getting updated.

What to expect

While NetBSD 10.0 is expected to be a major milestone on performance,
especially on multi-core systems, currently the BETA builds have some
extra kernel diagnostics enabled that may reduce performance
somewhat.

Among the features you can expect to find in NetBSD 10 are reworked
cryptography, including compatibility with WireGuardr, automatic swap
encryption, new disk encryption methods, and CPU acceleration in the
kernel. In hardware support, there are updated GPU drivers from Linux
5.6, support for more ARM hardware (including Rockchip RK356X, NXP
i.MX 8M, Amlogic G12, Apple M1, and Raspberry Pi 4), support for new
security features found in the latest ARM CPUs, and support for
Realtek 2.5 gigabit and new Intel 10/25/40 gigabit ethernet adapters.
compat_linux has been ported to AArch64 and DTrace has been ported to
MIPS. For retrocomputing enthusiasts, there's improved multiprocessor
support on Alpha, and more iMac G5 support. The Xen hypervisor
support has received a major rework. There are various new userspace
programs, including blkdiscard(8) to manually TRIM a disk, aiomixer
(1) to control audio volume, realpath(1), and fsck_udf(8). And loads
more...

There are many little details that might be relevant to admins when
upgrading from NetBSD 9, so wait and read the final release
announcement before you upgrade any production systems. Please note
that networking setups using tap(4) as a bridge endpoint must be
modified to use vether(4) instead, and compat_linux is no longer
built into the kernel for security reasons (load it as a module
instead). DisplayPort and HDMI audio is now enabled in the default
x86 kernel, so you might need to change the default audio device with
audiocfg(1) if you're not getting any sound output. blacklistd(8) was
renamed to blocklistd(8).

Downloads

  * Installation / USB stick image for 64-bit x86 (hybrid UEFI/BIOS
    image). Use gunzip and dd to write an .img.gz file on Unix, or
    Rawrite32 on Windows.
  * Installation / USB stick image for 64-bit x86 (legacy BIOS only)
  * Installation / USB stick image for 32-bit x86
  * For images for various ARM devices, see armbsd.org. All Arm
    boards without UFEI or Raspberry Pi firmware also require U-Boot
    to be written the SD card separately when using a generic image.
  * Live image for Raspberry Pi 0 or 1
  * Live image for Cavium Octeon (also needs U-Boot)
  * CD/DVD image for 64-bit x86 (for actual CD/DVDs and virtual
    machines only)
  * CD/DVD image for 32-bit x86
  * More? (e.g. Alpha, Apple PowerPC/68K, Amiga, Dreamcast, PA-RISC,
    SGI MIPS, SPARC32, VAX...)

Packages

Third-party software is available from pkgsrc, as ever. Binary
packages are available for amd64, and I hope to publish binaries for
i386 shortly.
