While it took two and a half years for [1]DragonFlyBSD 6.4.1 to materialize from DragonFlyBSD 6.4, only one week passed since that recent v6.4.1 release to now see v6.4.2.

DragonFlyBSD 6.4.2 can now be downloaded from [2]DragonFlyBSD.org . Given the short time since v6.4.1, there are very few changes in this release.

DragonFlyBSD 6.4.2 fixes a kernel panic and user-process corruption bug, fixing VirtIO block device cylinder count reporting, several FDISK fixes, and other fixes. The [3]DragonFlyBSD Digest noted DragonFlyBSD 6.4.2 will primarily help out if you are using QEMU, running the Chrome/Chromium web browser, or using IPv6 networking.
