8.0.1 RC2 Released – 64 Bit Only at the Moment
The second release candiate for FreeNAS 8.0.1 has been released that includes an updated version of Django which addresses several security vulnerabilities recently found.
Highlights include:
- iSCSI target works with VMWare ESXi 5.0
- New email backend that provides interop with a range of mail servers (including gmail)
- Improvements in selecting iSCSI file extents
- Update to django 1.3.1 to address security issues in django
- Fix a bug that was preventing ldap over tls from working.
- Some machines panic with the usb 3.0 driver, move this from the kernel to a
- module so it can be disabled.
- Support mixed tagged and untagged vlan traffic on a physical interface.
- Added a “save debug” button which will save a tech dump of the freenas box.
- If the webgui is bound to an address the system no longer has listen on 0.0.0.0
The 64 bit version can be downloaded from here:

There is now news yet on the 32 bit version or if this release will make it into the 8.0.1 repository on SourceForge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/freenas/files/FreeNAS-8.0.1/.
Well, it’s not really released. It’s a candidate for RC2 that we are circulating for wider testing. Hence no 32 bit version. It also has a bunch of debugging goo in it.
Josh,
Many thanks for the update.
