Since build 134 of OpenSolaris which once was destined to become the OpenSolaris 2010.1H release quite a lot have changed. If there was a release based on that build today it would feel a bit old giving all the changes now available. I took a look on some of the larger or in my opinion more noticeable changes and made a list. It makes you want to get your hands on a Solaris Next developmen build soon, or at least update the home rolled builds to b146 once it is finished. The development efforts does not seem to have decreased, it's a shame we still don't have any public builds to test all these new features.
This list is just a overview of the enhancements, there have been over 1300 putbacks containing over 2200 bugfixes including many new features. This is only the OS/Net consolidation with the core part of OpenSolaris not including PKG, X, JDS or the many free software packages available for installation from the package repositories.

Still no suspend to RAM (S3) or Suspend to Disk?
That's really the enhancment I've been waiting (patiently) for and it would go a long way to making Opensolaris useful on a laptop.
Suspend to RAM (S3) have been available to a while, at least in development builds, including for example b134 which is the current development release available. I'we been using it for quite some time on my Thinkpad T61 and it works perfectly.
I think I just added this to /etc/power.conf and rebooted or refreshed the service:
S3-support enable
After that I was able to tell gnome to suspend the laptop when i closed the lid, and i got a suspend option in the shutdown dialogue.
Google telles me the uadmin 3 20 should put the machine into hibernation if it is enabled also.
Hello Henkis,
I have a Lenovo T60p (2623-DDU). I added the "S3-support enable" directive to /etc/power.conf and when I tell it to suspend, the screen goes blank, the laptop doesn't fully enter sleep mode. I have to power-cycle it in order to get it back. I've tried changing a few options in the file, but I've since given up. Nothing seems to work.
Hello again Randy.
This is my power.conf from my T61, it works fine with suspend and the option is even available from the Gnome shutdown screen after a reboot:
device-dependency-property removable-media /dev/fb
autopm enable
autoS3 enable
cpu-threshold 1s
# Auto-Shutdown Idle(min) Start/Finish(hh:mm) Behavior
autoshutdown 30 9:00 9:00 noshutdown
cpupm enable
S3-support enable
If that does not work it your T60 might have some hardware that does not support suspend.
