+
+<p><b>Date:</b> Thu, 10 Oct 2002 07:47:54 -0700<br clear="none" />
+ <b>From:</b> "Murray Stokely" &lt;murray@FreeBSD.org&gt;<br clear="none" />
+ <b>To:</b> freebsd-announce@FreeBSD.org<br clear="none" />
+ <b>Subject:</b> FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE is now available</p>
+
+<p>I am happy to announce the availability of FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE, the
+ latest release of the FreeBSD -STABLE development branch. Since
+ FreeBSD 4.6-RELEASE in June 2002, we have updated a number of
+ software programs in the base system, such as GCC and sendmail.
+ Several new drivers have been added for USB devices and disk
+ controllers. We have also incorporated updates for XFree86 and our
+ Linux emulation libraries.</p>
+
+<p>FreeBSD 4.7 also incorporates all of the security and bug fixes
+ from 4.6.2 (released in August 2002), including several ATA-related
+ bugfixes, updates for OpenSSL and OpenSSH, and fixes to address
+ several security advisories.</p>
+
+<p>For a complete list of new features and known problems, please see
+ the release notes and errata list, available here:</p>
+
+<p><a href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/4.7R/relnotes.html" shape="rect">http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/4.7R/relnotes.html</a></p>
+<p><a href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/4.7R/errata.html" shape="rect">http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/4.7R/errata.html</a></p>
+
+<p>For more information about FreeBSD release engineering activities
+ (including information about the upcoming FreeBSD 5.0), please
+ see:</p>

+<p><a href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/releng/" shape="rect">http://www.FreeBSD.org/releng/</a></p>
+
+<h1>Availability</h1>
+
+<p>FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE supports the i386 and alpha architectures and
+ can be installed directly over the net using the boot floppies or
+ copied to a local NFS/FTP server. Distributions for the i386 are
+ available now. As of this writing, the final builds for the alpha
+ architecture are in progress and will be made available shortly.</p>
+
+<p>We can't promise that all the mirror sites will carry the larger
+ ISO images, but they will at least be available from:</p>
+
+<ul>

+
+<p>If you can't afford FreeBSD on media, are impatient, or just want
+ to use it for evangelism purposes, then by all means download the
+ ISO images, otherwise please continue to support the FreeBSD Project
+ by purchasing media from one of our supporting vendors. The
+ following companies have contributed substantially to the
+ development of FreeBSD:</p>

+<p>Each CD or DVD set contains the FreeBSD installation and
+ application package bits for the i386 ("PC") architecture. For a set
+ of distfiles used to build ports in the ports collection, please see
+ the FreeBSD Toolkit, a 6 CD set containing extra bits which no
+ longer fit on the 4 CD set, or the DVD distribution.</p>
+
+<p>FreeBSD is also available via anonymous FTP from mirror sites in
+ the following countries: Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Bulgaria,
+ Canada, China, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France,
+ Germany, Hong Kong, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Japan, Korea,
+ Lithuania, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, Portugal, Romania,
+ Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Slovak Republic, Slovenia,
+ Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, Thailand, Ukraine, and the United
+ Kingdom.</p>
+
+<p>Before trying the central FTP site, please check your regional
+ mirror(s) first by going to:</p>
+
+<p>ftp://ftp.&lt;yourdomain&gt;.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD</p>
+
+<p>Any additional mirror sites will be labeled ftp2, ftp3 and so
+ on.</p>
