The CentOS Project Team is pleased to announce the immediate availability of CentOS 7 for x86_64. This is the first release for CentOS-7 and
is version marked as 7.0-1406. CentOS is an Enterprise-class Linux
Distribution derived from sources freely provided to the public by Red
Hat.
For the first time, this release was
built from sources hosted at git.centos.org, however srpms being a
byproduct of the build and also considered critical in the code and
buildsys process are being published to match every rpm we release.
Sources will be available from vault.centos.org in their own dedicated
directories to match the corrosponding binary rpms.
For the first time, there is a supported
upgrade path from CentOS-6 to CentOS-7. This path is only supported
from the latest version of CentOS-6 (being 6.5 at the time of writing)
to the latest version of CentOS-7. The tools needed for this
functionality are still being tested and will be released at a later
time.
There are many fundamental changes in
this release, compared to previous releases of CentOS. Notably the
inclusion of systemd, Gnome3, and a default filesystem of XFS. Most
notable changes are:
- Kernel updated to 3.10.0
- Support for Linux Containers
- Open VMware Tools and 3D graphics drivers out of the box
- OpenJDK-7 as default JDK
- In Place Upgrade from 6.5 to 7.0 (as already mentioned)
- LVM-snapshots with ext4 and XFS
- Switch to systemd, firewalld and GRUB2
- XFS as default file system
- iSCSI and FCoE in kernel space
- Support for PTPv2
