Solaris Express 10/04 is coming

Solaris Express 10/04 (s10_69) should be available for download around October 29!

Some of the new features for the release include:

  • Solaris Service Manager(Greenline)
  • JDS Release 3
  • Oban (Solaris Volume Manager for SunCluster)
  • Ipsec/IKE NAT traversal
  • OpenSSL and PKCS#11 for OpenSSL
  • Hardware Random Number Generation support
  • Failed Account Login Account Locking
  • Track Uptime across reboots
  • Solaris 1394 Mass Storage Driver-x86
  • Remove Netscape4.7xin Solaris *Mozilla 1.4 removal
  • Xorg replaces Xsun as the default X server on x86
  • DTrace USDT (User-land Statically Defined Tracing) and plockstat Provider
  • New Realtek NIC driver

As usual, the documentation will be available at docs.sun.com.

Greenline and the Xorg transition are likely to cause a little frustration. Greenline because it is such a complete mindset change, and Xorg in getting the configurations correct. I am expecting to see some of the respective engineers blogging on at least these two over the next few weeks.
