+ <body>
+ <p>The ports framework's Linux emulation stack was upgraded to
+ include CentOS 6.6 on November 11. After smoothing out
+ several bugs that had been introduced, we have been able to bump
+ the default version of the Linux userland from Fedora 10 to
+ CentOS 6.6 on December 9. Providing a more
+ modern Linux userland and supporting libraries allows a great
+ number of Linux applications to be run on &os;. The goal
+ behind providing an updated Fedora-based userland is to support
+ more desktop-oriented applications, which require newer libraries
+ than are provided by CentOS 6. Providing 64-bit versions of
+ the CentOS userland will allow applications that are only
+ available in 64-bit form, such as a number of scientific and math
+ related applications, to be run on &os;. Support for 64-bit
+ binaries also requires the 64-bit Linux kernel emulation layer
+ from the lemul branch, which requires more testing and review
+ before being merged into HEAD.</p>
