Release date for Minix 3.4.0 Stable Release?

[Uli S]

Hello dear Minix community,

Is there already an estimated release date for the Minix 3.4.0 stable release?

The last stable Minix release is already 3 years old and the git repository looks not very active.

There are many improvements in the 3.4 release candidates such as a new / improved network stack and a new working port of X11.

With best regards,

Ulrich Schmidt

Hi,

 

Is there already an estimated release date for the Minix 3.4.0 stable release?

The short answer is, I personally don't know.

The long answer is, not until all release blockers are fixed (https://github.com/Stichting-MINIX-Research-Foundation/minix/labels/release%20blocker). In particular, the last NetBSD synchronization broke the ARM port on real BeagleBoard hardware and the MINIX team won't release with an official, supported platform broken.
