This will be the last release from the 7-STABLE branch. Some of the highlights: - Gnome updated to 2.32.1 - KDE updated to 4.5.5 - Many misc. improvements and bugfixes For a complete list of new features and known problems, please see the online release notes and errata list, available at: http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/7.4R/relnotes.html http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/7.4R/errata.html For more information about FreeBSD release engineering activities, please see: http://www.FreeBSD.org/releng/ Availability ------------- FreeBSD 7.4-RELEASE is now available for the amd64, i386, pc98, and sparc64 architectures. FreeBSD 7.4 can be installed from bootable ISO images or over the network. The required files can be downloaded via FTP or BitTorrent as described in the sections below. While some of the smaller FTP mirrors may not carry all architectures, they will all generally contain the more common ones such as amd64 and i386. MD5 and SHA256 hashes for the release ISO images are included at the bottom of this message. The purpose of the images provided as part of the release are as follows: dvd1: This contains everything necessary to install the base FreeBSD operating system, a collection of pre-built packages, and the documentation. It also supports booting into a "livefs" based rescue mode. This should be all you need if you can burn and use DVD-sized media. disc1: This contains the base FreeBSD operating system and the xorg packages for CDROM-sized media. There are no other packages on this image but there are more packages (mostly Gnome and KDE) on the disc2 and disc3 images. If you choose to install packages post-install you should just need disc1, you only need disc2/disc3 if you want to install Gnome or KDE during install. livefs: This contains support for booting into a "livefs" based rescue mode but does not support doing an install from the CD itself. It is meant to help rescue an existing system but could be used to do a network based install if necessary. bootonly: This supports booting a machine using the CDROM drive but does not contain the support for installing FreeBSD from the CD itself. You would need to perform a network based install (e.g. from an FTP server) after booting from the CD. FreeBSD 7.4-RELEASE can also be purchased on CD-ROM or DVD from several vendors. One of the vendors that will be offering FreeBSD 7.4-based products is: ~ FreeBSD Mall, Inc. http://www.freebsdmall.com/ BitTorrent ---------- 7.4-RELEASE ISOs are available via BitTorrent.

If you prefer SVN use releng/7.4. FreeBSD Update -------------- The freebsd-update(8) utility supports binary upgrades of i386 and amd64 systems running earlier FreeBSD releases. Systems running 7.[0123]-RELEASE, 7.4-BETA1, or 7.4-RC[123] can upgrade as follows: # freebsd-update upgrade -r 7.4-RELEASE During this process, FreeBSD Update may ask the user to help by merging some configuration files or by confirming that the automatically performed merging was done correctly. # freebsd-update install The system must be rebooted with the newly installed kernel before continuing. # shutdown -r now After rebooting, freebsd-update needs to be run again to install the new userland components, and the system needs to be rebooted again: # freebsd-update install # shutdown -r now Users of earlier FreeBSD releases (FreeBSD 6.x) can also use freebsd-update to upgrade to FreeBSD 7.4, but will be prompted to rebuild all third-party applications (e.g., anything installed from the ports tree) after the second invocation of "freebsd-update install", in order to handle differences in the system libraries between FreeBSD 6.x and FreeBSD 7.x. Support ------- The FreeBSD Security Team currently plans to support FreeBSD 7.4 until February 28th 2013. Users of FreeBSD 7.3 are strongly encouraged to upgrade to either FreeBSD 7.4 or FreeBSD 8.X before the FreeBSD 7.3 End of Life on March 31st 2012. Also note support for FreeBSD 7.1 ends February 28th, 2011.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline The FreeBSD Release Engineering Team is pleased to announce the availability of FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE. This is the third release from the 8-STABLE branch which improves on the functionality of FreeBSD 8.1 and introduces some new features. Some of the highlights: - Xen HVM support in FreeBSD/amd64 and Xen PV support in FreeBSD/i386 improved - ZFS on-disk format updated to version 15 - aesni(4) driver for Intel AESNI crypto instruction set - BIND and OpenSSL updates - Gnome updated to 2.32.1 - KDE updated to 4.5.5 - Many misc. improvements and bugfixes For a complete list of new features and known problems, please see the online release notes and errata list, available at: http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/8.2R/relnotes.html http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/8.2R/errata.html For more information about FreeBSD release engineering activities, please see: http://www.FreeBSD.org/releng/ Availability ------------- FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE is now available for the amd64, i386, ia64, pc98, powerpc, and sparc64 architectures. FreeBSD 8.2 can be installed from bootable ISO images or over the network. Some architectures (currently amd64 and i386) also support installing from a USB memory stick. The required files can be downloaded via FTP or BitTorrent as described in the sections below. While some of the smaller FTP mirrors may not carry all architectures, they will all generally contain the more common ones such as amd64 and i386.

You would need to perform a network based install (e.g. from an FTP server) after booting from the CD. memstick: This can be written to an USB memory stick (flash drive) and used to do an install on machines capable of booting off USB drives. It also supports booting into a "livefs" based rescue mode. The documentation packages are provided but no other packages. As one example of how to use the memstick image, assuming the USB drive appears as /dev/da0 on your machine something like this should work: # dd if=FreeBSD-8.2-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img of=/dev/da0 bs=10240 conv=sync Be careful to make sure you get the target (of=) correct.

More information about FreeBSD mirror sites can be found at: http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors-ftp.html For instructions on installing FreeBSD, please see Chapter 2 of The FreeBSD Handbook. It provides a complete installation walk-through for users new to FreeBSD, and can be found online at: http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install.html Updates from Source ------------------- The procedure for doing a source code based update is described in the FreeBSD Handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/synching.html http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html The branch tag to use for updating the source is RELENG_8_2 for CVS. For SVN use releng/8.2. FreeBSD Update -------------- The freebsd-update(8) utility supports binary upgrades of i386 and amd64 systems running earlier FreeBSD releases. Systems running 7.[01234]-RELEASE, 8.[01]-RELEASE, 8.2-BETA1, or 8.2-RC[123] can upgrade as follows: # freebsd-update upgrade -r 8.2-RELEASE During this process, FreeBSD Update may ask the user to help by merging some configuration files or by confirming that the automatically performed merging was done correctly. # freebsd-update install The system must be rebooted with the newly installed kernel before continuing. # shutdown -r now After rebooting, freebsd-update needs to be run again to install the new userland components: # freebsd-update install At this point, users of systems being upgraded from FreeBSD 7.4-RELEASE or earlier will be prompted by freebsd-update to rebuild all third-party applications (e.g., ports installed from the ports tree) due to updates in system libraries. After updating installed third-party applications (and again, only if freebsd-update printed a message indicating that this was necessary), run freebsd-update again so that it can delete the old (no longer used) system libraries: # freebsd-update install Finally, reboot into 8.2-RELEASE: # shutdown -r now Support ------- The FreeBSD Security Team currently plans to support FreeBSD 8.2 until February 29th, 2012.
