Hello All

OpenIndiana Snapshot 2025.10 was uploaded to the ISO mirror. With this 
snapshot we also took the opportunity to summarize the Changes since 
last snapshot.

In the last half year the following notable Changes have been made:
   - Introduction of several Rust based utilities with the Packaged 
directly from crates.io
     - Utilities like lsd, mergiraf, ripgrep, fd and other fancy tools
     - Helix Editor and IDE. (Note: there may be issues in getting LSP 
servers but the rust one is available)
   - Multiple Prolog Interpreters/VM's.
   - SunRay Maintenance work and improvements. (It's still a popular way 
to run Desktops for Families)
