Congratulations to all the NetBSD developers.
You can read the full annoucement here:
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-announce/2007/12/19/0000.html
If you are too lazy to click on the link, here is a cut and paste of the
major achievements from the email:
"Major achievements in NetBSD 4.0 include support for version 3 of the
Xen virtual machine monitor, Bluetooth, many new device drivers and
embedded platforms based on ARM, PowerPC and MIPS CPUs. New network
services include iSCSI target (server) code and an implementation of
the Common Address Redundancy Protocol. Also, system security was
further enhanced with restrictions of mprotect(2) to enforce W^X
policies, the Kernel Authorization framework, and improvements of the
Veriexec file integrity subsystem, which can be used to harden the
system against trojan horses and virus attacks."
