Hey all,

I'm pleased to announce that the pkgsrc-2016Q3 binary package sets for
illumos are now available, with over 15,000 packages available.

As always you can install them using the instructions here:

  https://pkgsrc.joyent.com/install-on-illumos/

SmartOS 16.3.0 images based on this package set will be available on
https://images.joyent.com/ shortly.

For the 2016Q3 release we welcome the following notable package
additions to the pkgsrc collection for illumos:

 - Emacs 25.1
 - Go 1.7.1
 - KDE Frameworks 5.25.0
 - MySQL 5.7.15
 - PHP 7.1.0rc2
 - Rust 1.11
 - Many more TexLive 2016 packages

We also say goodbye to the following notable packages:

 - Python 3.3
 - PHP 5.5

The following important infrastructure changes were introduced:

 - The pkg_install tools now support HTTPS, and both pkgin and pkg_add
   now fetch packages over HTTPS by default.

 - Dovecot plugins are now separate packages instead of compile-time
   options, providing more flexibility for binary package users.

 - PHP modules are now automatically enabled at install time with
   per-module .ini files placed into the PKG_SYSCONFDIR/php.d directory.

In total 276 packages were added and 1,520 package updates were
processed since the pkgsrc-2016Q2 release.

Please report any bugs or feature requests specifically related to
this binary package set on our GitHub issues page:

Enjoy!
