The NetBSD project is pleased to announce the fifth (and hopefully final) release candidate[1] of the upcoming 11.0 release, please help testing! See the release announcement[2] for details. The netbsd-11 release branch is nearly a year old now, so it is high time the 11.0 release makes it to the front stage. We found a few more issues to fix in RC5, and also updated a lot of bundled third party code due to security issues, including OpenSSL, unbound, expat and more. We would love to release this state as 11.0 soonish and hope no big fallout will be found in this RC. Please note that various ISO images have been split into small ones for CD/R media and full featured DVD ones. If you are not restricted by the size limits of a CD/R medium, make sure to pick the image with "-dvd.iso" in the name. If you want to test 11.0 RC5 please check the installation notes[4] for your architecture and download the preferred install image[5] from the CDN or if you are using an ARM based device from the netbsd-11 builds from the bootable ARM images[6] page. If you have any issues with installation or run into issues with the system during use, please contact us on one of the mailing lists[7] or file a problem report[8].
