FYI to FreeBSD 8-STABLE followers who may be interested in using Apple's GCD technology on FreeBSD. GCD, for those who may have missed it, is a concurrent programming framework introdued in Mac OS X Snow Leopard, now also supported on FreeBSD. There are a number of useful links on the wiki page, but this provides the best high-level introduction: http://images.apple.com/macosx/technology/docs/GrandCentral_TB_brief_20090903.pdf My announcement text (and wiki link) below.

You will need the following: - FreeBSD 8-STABLE snapshot from at least 2009-11-01 (r198732) - FreeBSD libdispatch port from at least 2009-11-11 Do the upgrade to the 8-STABLE snapshot first so that the port can find the required kernel features. As a reminder, you can find FreeBSD/GCD port status, quick start guide, and general information here: http://wiki.freebsd.org/GCD I have updated it to reflect 8.x support. Thanks are due to Stacey Son and Stanislav Sedov for their work to make this happen!
