Solaris Express 02.05 (snv_07) available on February 28
This is the new development version (beyond Solaris 10), based upon the Nevada source tree.
You will note that uname -r will return 5.10.1, so if you have programs that compare against this output you may need to make the aware of this micro release. There is at least one script that I know of for which there is a pending bug that is affected like this. I'll post some more on how to deal with that particular script once I see what we are going to say about it in the release notes.
New Features
- Support for iCSSI Devices
- Fibre Channel HBA Port Utility (32-bit x86 only)
- Metaslot in the Cryptographic Framework
- IKE Enhancements
- X.Org Release 6.8.2
- Chelsio 10G Ethernet Driver (chxge)

Not in this release.
You can be certain that there will be a lot of us speaking about it when it makes it into Solaris Express! We're all hoping that it should not be too long.

Arghhhh....no Janus or ZFS.....what cruel twist of fate is this....
Seriously though, I'm sure that Sun will advertise their virtues far and wide when they're finally out - I myself am probably going to take part in the recurring DDos attack that seems to occurs on every new build =).

I believe SPARC based systems are still using Xsun. The authority here would be <a herf=http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/alanc>Alan Coopersmith.

Maybe that might have something to do with the fact that we have not (yet) released a driver supporting GL?
Alan Coopersmith and Roland Mainz have already answered your original post on comp.unix.solaris on this issue.
I believe that the release of X.org that appears in SX 2/05 is 6.8.2 RC2, but I'm sure that one of the other Alans will correct me if I'm wrong.
