News : Sun Releases OpenSolaris 2008.11

Sun Microsystems has announced the release of OpenSolaris 2008.11(a little late, but that's alright). I spoke with Timothy Cramer, a senior director of OpenSolaris engineering at Sun, about this release of OpenSolaris, and he told me that it's part of the six-month binary release cycle that Sun has committed to for OpenSolaris. The first one -- OpenSolaris 2008.5 -- was released in May 2008, at CommunityOne/JavaOne; OpenSolaris 2008.11 has been released today, and the next one will be in April 2009. This release is a combination of new features, updates to bundled applications, and new community support offerings (which is the big news with this release). For more information on OpenSolaris, see this Dr. Dobb's interview with Timothy Cramer...
