The Register [theregister.co.uk] (mirror [archive.is]) and ZDNet [zdnet.com] (mirror [archive.is]) report that version 10.3 of the FreeBSD operating system [wikipedia.org] has been released. In the new version, the ability to run Linux binaries now includes 64-bit compatibility (on the amd64 architecture). Ethernet hardware in Intel Skylake [wikipedia.org] chipsets is now supported, and support for ZFS [wikipedia.org] as a root file-system when using UEFI [wikipedia.org] has been improved. Other changes, such as a multithreaded xz, are listed in the release announcement [freebsd.org].
