Still no TLS sendfile unfortunately. Apparently TLS sendfile is being used at Netflix to push over 150Gb/s on a single box. I can't wait until it's open sourced.
I am wondering, if a Netflix flavoured FreeBSD, a BSD that is Network, File Server oriented would help the adoption of FreeBSD. Something like NodeBSD.
Why do people think that there should be a separate distribution for different classes of user? I never really understood that. The community is thin, fragmentation is bad, setting up a server for workload X should consist of installing ports A, B, C, not installing FrankenBSD!
Seems to be frozen now. D'oh, I was too late to get my first FreeBSD feature (woohoo!) added to the 11.2 release notes. So I'll just randomly post it here in case anyone cares:
The procctl(2) syscall has been updated to support
PROC_PDEATHSIG_CTL, similar to Linux® PR_SET_PDEATHSIG. [r333162]
The RELEASE is functionally equal to the last Release Candidate (eg RC3); any functional change - eg anything other than documentation - would trigger another RC.
