FreeNAS 0.8 Roadmap

February 24th, 2010

Some more details are starting to emerge about what will appear in FreeNAS 0.8:

Planned major features:

  • Development on FreeBSD RELENG_8. Release, depending on timeframe may be based on a RELENG_8 snapshot or 8.1-RELEASE
  • Migrate off m0n0wall
  • Migrate GUI to django
  • Add support for ada and ahci SATA drivers
  • Add optional SoftUpdates + Journaling support to UFS2 filesystems
  • Migration path/tool for previous releases and configurations
  • Preservation of all existing features of the current FreeNAS release
  • Refactor FreeNAS build system to allow building FreeNAS without affecting the host environment
  • Non-Blocking Features

Possible other features

  • FreeNAS package support. Binary one click installs that modify the GUI dynamically.

I am sure this list will evolve and you can keep an eye on the current developments here: http://freenas.org/roadmap

    DJango!? … why Django? … Isn’t it more heavy?
    I mean I would like to listen some reason behind this decision.

    Thanks!

    Massimo: Because Django is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design.
