8.0.4-RC1 available..

All,
    8.0.4-RC1 has been posted to SourceForge and spotchecked (both
multimedia and non-multimedia spins). This should be the last
prerelease version before the official release. As always, please feel
free to get a hold of me on IRC, the forums, etc if you have any
questions or concerns related to the release.
Thanks!

8.0.4-BETA1 available..

All,
    8.0.4-BETA1 has been posted to SourceForge (non-multimedia
versions only at this time):
https://sourceforge.net/projects/freenas/files/FreeNAS-8.0.4/ . Please
read the release notes for changes between 8.0.3-RELEASE-p1 and
8.0.4-BETA1.
    There will be an additional BETA which hits (hopefully no later
than next Monday) to fix shadow copy support with samba36 and a
handful of other stability and port some less critical functional
items from trunk.
Thanks!

8.0.4 coming soon...

Hi all,
    As noted here, I'm going to be rolling 8.0.4-RELEASE within the
next couple of weeks to fix a handful of issues and backport some
enhancements from trunk:

8.0.3-RELEASE is available! and notes about 8.0.3-RELEASE_MULTIMEDIA

Hi all,
    I know it's a bit belated, but I heard that one of my messages got
unstuck from the admin queue yesterday -- so I'm following up to
prevent confusion.
    8.0.3-RELEASE is available up on SourceForge and I'm putting the
finishing touches on 8.0.3-RELEASE_MULTIMEDIA, which will contain
semi-supported (i.e. not support.freenas, but forums, IRC, and
"gcooper" supported) apps for Bittorrent, iTunes, and DLNA/uPNP
support; this is recommended for folks who have the patience and the
constitution to modify .conf files in order to get things to work
until 8.2.0 hits 'production'.
    Unless something dramatically changes (the only thing that could
change is a minidlna -> serviio/mediatomb conversion, depending on
whether or not someone provides the resources so we can automate
these), this image should serve as an excellent sneak preview of some
of the home features missing from <= 8.0.2 that are present in 0.7,
which will be officially supported and available as plugins in 8.2.0.
Cheers!

trunk).

FreeNAS 8.0.3-BETA2 available!

Hi all,
    Due to a few glitches found after the 8.0.3-BETA1 build (mostly
importing build fixes from trunk), I've quickly released 8.0.3-BETA2
for public consumption.
    If all goes well, I'll wrap this up into 8.0.3-BETA3 -- which will
contain a few more minor requested changes (implement anonymous
binding with ldap, update nut), and call it a RC1.
Thanks!

FreeNAS 8.0.3-BETA1 available!

8.0.3-BETA1 builds are available on SourceForge now (
https://sourceforge.net/projects/freenas/files/FreeNAS-8.0.3/ ).

- The performance caps and i386 tweaks for ZFS are coming in BETA2
after I fully test out the changes on trunk images.
- The AD interoperability issues at boot are still being worked on.
- I'm going to look at Time Machine backups via OSX Snow Leopard and
OSX Lion to verify that they're sane (I think I *might* know the
root-cause for the issue described in ticket 763, beyond it being a
permissions problem).

Thanks!

8.0.2 sneak peak

We've decided to call the fixes to some of the more critical issues in
8.0.1-RELEASE 8.0.2-RELEASE.

We released 8.0.1 and I immediately went to EuroBSDCon a few days
later.  It's been a week and change and I'm still a little jetlagged,
so here we are.

The release notes are really short, because there aren't many changes
from 8.0.1-R.

A sneak peak

As we wrap up 8.0.1-RELEASE here's a sneak peak of what it will look like:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/freenas/files/FreeNAS-8-nightly/FreeNAS-8r8022-
amd64.iso/download

Really nothing new here since RC2, just lots of bug fixes and polish.

You can kick off a scrub from the gui, there's a button that will show zpool 
status in the gui, the ldap ssl parameter is a dropdown, you can select 
inherit owner in a samba share, there might be a few other minor things.

This is cut from the branches/8.0.1 tree, so it can be upgraded from an RC, 
and will be upgradeable to 8.0.1-R, unlike the nightly trunk snapshots.
