Start with the release notes:
http://omnios.omniti.com/wiki.php/ReleaseNotes/r151020
The big highlights include:
- LX Zones Beta --> LX Zones can now run in OmniOS. They have their
own wiki page, off the Release Notes one above.
https://omnios.omniti.com/wiki.php/LXZones
Not all LX interfaces and methods are frozen, and are subject to
change between now and r151022.
- SunSSH end-of-life (NOTE the Upgrading section below).
- ACPI Version 6
- Initial NVMe 1.1 Support
- VIM 8.0
NOTE that we froze r151020 prior to the BSD Loader push in illumos-gate. We
did so to not delay this release. This does mean that the next release,
r151022, which is also the next LTS, will be late, and may have other
substantial changes.
OmniOS r151020 is the new stable release. OmniOS r151018 becomes the "old
stable" and will receive critical bugfixes and/or security patches for another
six months. OmniOS r151014 continues to be the long-term-support (LTS)
release. OmniOS r151016 has officially reached END OF SERVICE LIFE, having
finished its time as "old stable".
With SunSSH being end-of-lifed, upgrading to r151020 may be difficult for
people still using SunSSH. There's a new upgrading page one can get to off the
Release Notes:
https://omnios.omniti.com/wiki.php/Upgrade_to_r151020
If you've already made the switch to SunSSH, upgrading to r151020 should be no
different than any other post-r151014 upgrade. If you are still using SunSSH,
read the above link very carefully. We recommend you make the switch to
OpenSSH before upgrading, but we understand if you can't.
Thanks as always to the OmniOS community, and OmniTI colleagues including (but
not limited to): Dale Ghent, Marissa Murphy, and Robert Treat (who convinced me
to port LX).
Thanks to Joyent staffers Jerry Jelinek and Patrick Mooney, whose LX work AND
LX-porting-assitance were invaluable.
Happy upgrading!
Dan McDonald -- OmniOS Engineering
