Announcing the first Oracle Solaris 11.4 CBE
Today we are releasing a new version of Oracle Solaris 11.4 for free/open source developers and non-production personal use.
Today marks the first delivery of our "Common Build Environment" (CBE) releases for the Oracle Solaris 11.4.
To enable us to make new features and fixes available quicker and to more systems Oracle Solaris now uses a continuous delivery model of SRU/micro releases rather than much larger minor releases every few years.
The GA release of a major or minor was historically the release intended for non-production use for developement of free/open source software, testing, proof of concept deployments. With the switch to a continuous delivery model many new features that have been added to Oracle Solaris 11.4 are not available in a release with a non-production use license.
