On March, 21st 2009, NetBSD has had its 16th birthday. Congratulations, NetBSD! 
On the same day, NetBSD 5.0 RC3 has been released.
The changes between RC2 and RC3:
- Considerable improvements to WAPBL.
- Further X.Org refinements, including switching sgimips to X.Org.
- Scheduler Activations support is now disabled by default in sysctl.conf.
- ddb.onpanic is now set to 1 in the kernel by default, but 0 in sysctl.conf. This avoids trying to dump if a crash occurs during the install phase.
- puffs is now enabled by default on amd64, i386, macppc, and sparc64.
- SSP kernels should work again.
- A handful of assorted stability improvements.
Binaries of NetBSD 5.0 RC3 can be found here, and via CVS using the netbsd-5 branch or the netbsd-5-0-RC3 tag, of course .
