open source community."
Announcing Intel Clear Containers 3.0
The Clear Containers team at Intel has announced the
release of Clear Containers 3.0. "Completely rewritten and refactored, Clear
Containers 3.0 uses Go language instead of C and introduces many new components
and features. The 3.0 release of Clear Containers brings better integration into
the container ecosystem and an ability to leverage code used for namespace based
containers."
Facebook relicenses several projects
Facebook has announced that the React, Jest, Flow, and
Immutable.js projects will be moving to the MIT license. This is, of course, a
somewhat delayed reaction to the controversy over the "BSD+patent" license
previously applied to those projects. "This decision comes after several weeks
of disappointment and uncertainty for our community. Although we still believe
our BSD + Patents license provides some benefits to users of our projects, we
acknowledge that we failed to decisively convince this community."
Samba 4.7.0 released
The Samba 4.7.0 release is out. New features include whole
DB read locks (a reliability improvement), active directory with Kerberos
support, detailed audit trails for authentication and authorization activities,
a multi-process LDAP server, better read-only domain controller support, and
more. See the release notes for details.
