The NetBSD Project has announced the release of version 7 of the operating system, which is known for its portability.

Acceleration, with a direct rendering manager (DRM) and kernel mode-setting (KMS), is now available on recent Intel and Radeon graphics chips.

The new version ships with a daemon, blacklistd, which can block unwanted network connections.

The installer now supports GPT-partitioned disks.

ARM multiprocessing is now possible, and several ARM-based single board computers are now supported.

NetBSD now has an experimental port to certain Psion PDAs.
