-The DragonFly 3.0 release is here! This release was delayed from our regular schedule for tracking down what [appears to be a AMD CPU bug](http://gitweb.dragonflybsd.org/dragonfly.git/commit/8e32ecc0a77082f1e232a3e6d12e2f163f9667a4). As a pleasant side effect, the giant kernel lock has been removed from much of the system and this release performs significantly better on multi-core systems than all previous DragonFly versions.

## Big-ticket items
A new [time domain multiplexing method](http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/mailarchive/commits/2011-07/msg00086.html) has been added to balance storage operation types over long time periods. HAMMER fairness and throughput under heavy storage loads has significantly improved.
-HAMMER's behavior in very low memory configurations has also improved; it will no longer readily starve a system of kernel allocation space. HAMMER should work on systems with as little as 256M of RAM.
