PHORONIX TEST SUITE
Phoronix Test Suite 6.0 Milestone 3 has been released as the latest development version of Hammerfest.

This newest Phoronix Test Suite 6.0 development release has more SVG optimizations in pts_Graph (building upon the significant underlying improvements in 6.0 M2), support for auto-authenticating/auto-approved clients for Phoromatic Servers as a new account setting option, NVMe /dev/nvme* detection, a NO_HTTPS environment variable if wishing to forcefully disable HTTPS usage to instead use only HTTP, and a variety of small fixes/enhancements throughout pts-core.

Phoronix Test Suite 6.0 M3 also has external dependency improvements with the DragonFlyBSD support being rewritten to use dports pkg rather than pkgsrc on older versions of DragonFlyBSD. There's also been an assortment of other smaller enhancements/tweaks to benefit various *BSD platforms and other similar non-Linux platforms that don't receive as much development attention.

Phoronix Test Suite 6.0 remains on track for release later this year with a new version of Phoromatic and OpenBenchmarking.org.
