    Say hello to OmniOS r151021, the next bloody cycle!

    This bloody update unfreezes illumos-omnios:master from upstream (and now sidestream LX) merges.

    Included with this new bloody update:

    - Rich Lowe's Address-Space Layout Randomization (ASLR).  See here for details:

    - BSD Loader integration, but NOT SUPPORTED YET.  Updates to r151021 will include an /etc/default/be file with "BE_HAS_GRUB=true" in it.  This allows us to move forward until we finalize what OmniOS + Loader will look like.

    - More post-020 ZFS bugfixes from upstream.

    - Some side-pulls of LX from illumos-joyent, catching us up.

    If you're an existing bloody user, the existing publisher now contains r151021 bits, and a full upgrade would happen.

    ISO, USB, and Kayak .zfs.bz2 images are available on the OmniOS Installation page:

    Note that this bloody cycle will likely be longer, as r151022 is an LTS release and we have a LOT of changes now merged, with more on the way!

    Dan
