The new version of Solaris 10 was released by Sun recently. Its name is Solaris 10 10/08 or Update 6. The most expected new feature is support of booting from ZFS filesystem. I added it to the summary of Solaris updates as I presented here. So, here it is:
  1. Solaris 10 1/06 (u1) - GRUB bootloader, iSCSI initiator, fcinfo command
  2. Solaris 10 6/06 (u2) - ZFS filesystem
  3. Solaris 10 11/06 (u3) - Solaris Trusted Extensions, LDoms
  4. Solaris 10 8/07 (u4) - full TCP/IP stack in zones, iSCSI target, branded zones (Linux in Solaris container), Samba AD, enhanced rcapd
