OpenIndiana 2020.04 is available

OpenIndiana is a Solaris fork like OmniOS and based on Illumos. Unlike OmniOS there is no stable/ long term stable and no commercial support option or regular security fixes sometimes several per month. OpenIndiana is like a reference installation of Illumos. You get it as a minimal, text (similar to OmniOS) or desktop edition. Every "pkg update" gives the newest state of Illumos similar to the OmniOS bloody.

OpenIndiana is mostly for a ZFS home system with browser and office apps.
For a production ZFS storage system, prefer OmniOS optionally with a support contract.
