BSD and Darwin derivatives DragonFly BSD 1.4 has been released. "The two biggest user-visible changes in this release are a major revamping of libc, ctype, and wchar support, as well as changes made in the kernel which require us to bump the major rev for all of our shared libraries, and the introduction of PKGSRC to manage third party applications. DragonFly no longer supports the FreeBSD PORTS system." Get it here.

Production ready?

I'm very glad to see the DFBSD project moving ahead.

I presume that work still needs to be done before it is declared production ready. How much of a leap forward towards that goal is this release?

I see a lot of bugs and reworking has been done but in a strange kind of way, that tells me little about the status of the project. I found this on the release page:

"From a stability perspective we believe this is our best release to date!"
