>From KernelTrap:

"Hurrah! 2.0 has been released!" said Matthew Dillon, announcing the eighth
major release of DragonFly BSD. This release is the first to include HAMMER, a
new clustering filesystem that already boasts an impressive list of features,
including: "crash recovery on-mount, no fsck; fine-grained snapshots, snapshot
management, snapshot-support for filesystem-wide data integrity checks;
historically accessible by default; mirroring: queueless incremental mirroring,
master to multi-slave; undo and rollback; reblocking; multi-volume, maximum
storage capacity of 1-Exabyte." Other highlighted changes in this release
include, "native fairq-queue implementation using ALTQ, for PF", and "native
connection state recovery to PF, so router reboots do not drop active TCP
connections."
