Took place the release of the desktop-oriented operating system Midnightbsd 3.1 based on FreeBSD with elements ported from Dragonfly BSD, OpenBSD, and NetBSD. The basic desktop-reduction is built on the basis of Gnustep, but users have the opportunity to install Windowmaker, Gnome, XFCE, or Lumina. To download prepared an installation image of 1 GB (<i386, amd64).
Unlike other FreeBSD desktops, MidnightBSD OS was originally developed as a fork FreeBSD 6.1-Beta. It was later synchronized with the FreeBSD 7 code base in 2011 and subsequently absorbed many capabilities from FreeBSD 9-12 branches. To control packages on MidnightBSD, the MPORT system is used, which stores indices and metadata in the SQLite database. The installation, deletion, and search for packages are carried out using a single command mport. As an alternative, the installation of ports of Ravenports is also supported.
- Added support for the package system ravenports. Packages are loaded using the RavensW utility and installed in the /Raven catalog. Unlike MPORTS in RavenPors, fresher versions of some applications are available, as well as packages not yet assembled for MPORTS. For example, fresh versions of Firefox are available in Ravenports. Ravenports and MPORTS can be used separately, choosing the desired system during installation, and used side by side together. Raven
