Since the 2022 release of memtest86+ 6.0 as a rewrite of this long-used RAM testing utility, this open-source software has continued advancing nicely after a decade hiatus. Released on Sunday night was memtest86+ 8.0 as the latest iteration of this popular RAM tester for enthusiasts.

The memtest86+ 8.0 release can now be built with the Clang compiler and LLVM LLD linker. Plus there are many internal updates as well as now being able to provide a single binary that works for both UEFI and legacy boot environments.
