The jail subsystem has been updated. Changes include:
* Multiple addresses of both IPv4 and IPv6 per jail has been supported. It is even possible to have jails without an IP address at all, which basically gives one a chrooted environment with restricted process view and no networking.
* SCTP sctp with IPv6 in jails has been implemented.
* Specific CPU binding by using cpuset has been implemented. Note that the current implementation allows the superuser inside of the jail to change the CPU bindings specified. This behavior will be fixed in the next release.
* A jail can start with a specific route FIB now.
* A show jails subcommand in ddb has been added.
* Compatibility support which permits 32-bit jail binaries to be used on 64-bit systems to manage jails has been added.
* Note that both version numbers of jail and prison in the jail have been updated for the new features.
New/extended platforms:
* Initial ports to the xscale based gumstix platform and the ARM based OpenMoko
* OpenBSD/sparc64
New vdsk(4) and vnet(4) drivers provide support for virtual I/O between logical domains on Sun's CoolThreads servers, including UltraSPARC T2+ machines.
Workstations and laptops with UltraSPARC IIe CPUs can now scale down the CPU frequency to save power.
OpenMoko:プロジェクトが開発している Linux ベースのスマートフォンプラットフォーム?でしょうか?
今回のリリースは、以前の様な盛り上がりが無いのがサビシィですが、FreeBSD 7.2リリースが直前だからでしょうか。。。
ちなみにFreeBSDは5/4予定だったような気がしますが、どこもミラー開始されてる様子がないので、リリース遅れですかね。

MS OfficeでOpenDocument Formatが開ける様になるようです。
「2007 Microsoft Office Suite Service Pack 2」にて、ODFやPDFに対応したとの事。
私は、Office2007を使用していない為、実際不明ですが。。。
これで、OpenOfficeユーザと仲良くできるのかもしれません。
The SPARC Automated Installer ISO for this development build is
expected to work on all sun4v-based platforms and on sun4u-based
platforms with an OBP level of 4.17 or greater. This capability can be
determined on an existing system by executing the command
