Die Neuerungen:
- during the development of NetBSD 5.0, the kernel version was bumped 73 times. The previous record was 29
- there is a new kernel threading model which has better performance than the previous implementation
- we have introduced the file system journalling (WAPBL) functionality, kindly donated by Wasabi Systems
- much work has been done in the file system arena
- the Xen port has updated to Xen 3.3, and has support for PAE domains and amd64 domains (both dom0 and domU)
- Xorg is now a part of our base system
- providing multilib functionality (64bit platforms such as amd64 and sparc64 can now compile and run 32bit binaries seamlessly)
- almost every subsystem has been improved
- our contributed external software has moved to a new framework, so as to make license issues clearer
- many more device drivers are present in tree
- all security-critical software is now compiled by default with stack protection; this makes stack overflow and stack smashing attacks more difficult to exploit
- address space layout randomization is now supported on selected platforms
- NetBSD now supports creating position independent executables (PIE) that can completely randomize the layout of stack, code, data, shared library layout per executable invocation
