(ZFS debugger) - Upgrade to FreeBSD 7.3-p7. - Upgrade istgt to 20111008. (ESXi5, 10GbE ready iSCSI target) - Upgrade mDNSResponder to 320.5.1. (Zeroconf/Bonjour) - Upgrade netatalk to 2.2.1. (AFP, TimeMachine for OS X Lion) - Increase image size. - Ignore an error in firmware check function. New Features ============ - Samba 3.5.8. - AIO setting from WebGUI. - AMD CPU on-die digital thermal sensor. - Advanced Format 4KB sector (UFS/GPT data partition). (data partition in the boot disk is always aligned to 32KB) - ZFS cache/log device and 4KB device in the pool. - Logical Block Length of iSCSI disk. - Virtual machine guest support (VMware and VirtualBox). - iSCSI boot/install (experimental). Upgrade Notes ============= - Before upgrade you must always backup your configuration file, your system disk and all your data (if possible). - DO NOT use firmware upgrade if your installed FreeNAS revision is lower than 0.7.2(5175). - If your version is after 0.7.2(5175), you can upgrade it by any ways. - If your version is lower than 0.7.2(5175), and you install by option #1 (no data in the boot disk), and there is space of at least 128MB in the boot disk, you can upgrade it from LiveCD. Otherwise, a new installation is necessary. (This procedure formats the boot disk.) And, you must remove the mount point of the boot disk, and add it again. Other Notes =========== - The system requirements are changed. The minimum space to install: OS disk: 128MB(120MiB), Mem: 384MB for embedded. OS disk: 400MB(380MiB), Mem: 256MB for full. Downgrade Notes =============== - Downgrading from 0.7.2 to any version lesser than build 0.7.2(5726) is not supported.

Permanent restrictions: - It is not possible to format a SoftRAID disk with MSDOS FAT16/32. - It is not possible to encrypt a disk partition, only complete disks are supported. - Enable 'polling' on interfaces used by a LAGG interface will make it inoperable. Known bugs: - If DHCP for IPv4 is used, the IPv6 statically configured DNS server will be overriden by the IPv4 DNS server. NEED TESTING: - IPv6: auto mode - All services using IPv6 address (NFS, FTP, etc...) - Netatalk VFS Samba module (automatically enabled when Netatalk starts) crashes samba when accessing to share - Need to write an online-test procedure Help needed: - Need help for adding LDAP authentication feature: Main services can be easily authenticated using PAM-LDAP, but is harder for Samba.
