Hubbard) // FreeBSD 2.1.6 is now available in: // ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.1.6-RELEASE ... // If you are a commercial user of FreeBSD who would like to take // advantage of recent bug fixes without making the jump to our more // ambitious 2.2 release (or delay that jump until 2.2 has had more time // to mature), or if you're simply looking for the lowest-impact upgrade // from 2.1.5, then 2.1.6-RELEASE is for you. // // Following are the release notes for 2.1.6: // // // RELEASE NOTES // FreeBSD Release 2.1.6 RELEASE // // 0. What is this release? // ------------------------ // FreeBSD 2.1.6R is the follow-on release to 2.1.5R and focuses primarily // on fixing bugs, closing security holes and making the system easier to // install than 2.1.5. // // For more information on our bleeding-edge development, please see // http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/current.html. // // // 1. What's New since 2.1.0-RELEASE? // ---------------------------------- // Quite a few things have changed since the last major release // of FreeBSD. To make it easier to identify specific changes, // we've broken them into several major categories: ... Most of this seens to be copied from 2.1.5-R, and states differences from 2.1.0-R. What are the differences from 2.1.5-R ? The installer is really better (there's still a bug in the dialog menu) but I didn't feel any other difference.
