Volker Theile has announced the availability of the second beta release of FreeNAS 0.69, a tiny FreeBSD-based operating system which provides free Network Attached Storage (NAS) services.

Majors changes:

  • Upgrade e2fsprogs to 1.41.0.
  • Upgrade fusefs-ntfs/ntfs-3g to 1.2531.
  • Upgrade Samba to 3.0.30.
  • Add ‘perms’ and ‘xattrs’ parameter to RSYNC client/local shares.
  • Allow user to add additional parameters to RSYNC client/local shares.
  • Modified WebGUI look & feel.
  • Add ctorrent client (No WebGUI, only console support).

Minors changes:

  • Enable WLAN interface setup via console.
  • Add ‘Loewe Connect’ UPnP support (FR 2003278).
