NetBSD, a free, fast, secure, and highly portable UNIX-like open source OS available for a wide range of platforms, from large-scale servers and desktop systems to handheld and embedded devices, is now at version 6.1.

NetBSD 6.1 is the first major update in the 6.x branch, and implements quite a few critical fixes, either with regard to security or for stability reasons, plus some new features and enhancements.

Highlights of NetBSD 6.1:

• A kernel panic triggered from userland has been fixed; • Atomic fragments" for IPv6 have been fixed; • Some locking issues have been fixed; • smbfs now actually works on big-endian ports; • Mounting ext2fs and msdosfs, in 32-bit compat mode, is now allowed.

A complete list of the changes can be found in the official announcement.
