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!
What would be the difference compared to stock FreeBSD?
Note that 11.2-RELEASE isn't technically out yet.
The "official" announcement is scheduled for tomorrow and, until it hits, the ISO images, etc., are still subject to change.

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.

Thanks, we've gone with this instead of http://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/ISO-IMAGES/11.2/.
