Haven't been any huge changes in the recent past. Factotum and a lot of the security stuff happened 2 years ago. The earliest deadline first scheduler has recently stabilized enough to depend on. Tools keep changing as people add features to them. We base the install on a new file system, fossil, last year. We don't number releases at all since stuff changes everyday and we cut a new installation image daily. The latter is done automaticly if anything has changed on the sources machine. That machine is mountable by anyone using plan 9.
