<p>ZFSguru started as front-end to ZFS but has since grown
into a multifunctional server appliance with its own unique
features. While the project is still in early development, it
already offers multiple unique features not found in other
projects. Unlike similar projects, nothing is stripped away from
the base operating system, meaning ZFSguru behaves as a normal
FreeBSD installation and thus is very versatile. The web-interface
is designed to unite both novice and advanced users, providing
both very easy to use basic functionality as well as features to
be appreciated by more experienced users. The modular nature of
the project combats the danger of bloat, whilst still allowing
extended functionality to be easily deployed.</p>
<p>On the 15th of August, version 0.3 of ZFSguru was released. Some
highlights of the new version:</p>
<ul>
<li>New build infrastructure allows for frequent releases of
system images and services in a semi-automated way.</li>
<li>A new GuruDB database allows for a growing number of system
images and servers, and provide good caching to accelerate
pages.</li>
<li>The installation procedure was given a major
overhaul.</li>
<li>In addition to the LiveCD, USB images are now available.
The USB image supports both legacy MBR bootcode and UEFI boot
support.</li>
<li>Many libraries in the web-interface have been
overhauled, in addition to many other additions to the
web interface.</li>
<li>Many improvements were made to optional add-on services,
such as the new Gnome 3 graphical environment.</li>
</ul>
<p>Other progress made in the months July, August and
September:</p>
<ul>
<li>System image builds 001, 002, 003 and 004 have been
released for all supported branches: 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3
(-STABLE) and 11.0 (-CURRENT).</li>
<li>Work on the 0.4 web-interface has started, which focuses
on improving network support in the web-interface.</li>
<li>Work on a new visual theme for the web-interface has
started. The new interface is likely to be included in the upcoming
0.4 release.</li>
<li>A new master server is being prepared, which is likely to be
operational in December.</li>
<li>A new website is being worked on, to be launched the 1st
of January, 2016.</li>
</ul>

<p>The new Gnome&nbsp;3 desktop does not work for everyone
and still has issues. Anyone capable of diagnosing these issues
can give the Gnome&nbsp;3 LiveCD a try. Please see the linked
forum thread for more information.</p>

<task>
<p>Several ports fail to compile with our own build
infrastructure, and require bug reports in order to get
them fixed upstream.</p>

<p>A 'State of the Project 2015' is due in Q4, providing an
overview for future development of the project.</p>
