This release continues the development of the +6-STABLE branch providing performance and stability improvements, many +bug fixes and new features. Some of the highlights:</p> + +<ul> +<li><p>KDE updated to 3.5.8, GNOME updated to 2.20.1, Xorg updated to 7.3</p></li> +<li><p>BIND updated to 9.3.4</p></li> +<li><p>sendmail updated to 8.14.2</p></li> +<li><p>lagg(4) driver ported from OpenBSD/NetBSD</p></li> +<li><p>unionfs file system re-implemented</p></li> +<li><p>freebsd-update(8) now supports an upgrade command</p></li> +</ul> + +<p>For a complete list of new features and known problems, please see the +online release notes and errata list, available at:</p> + +<p><tt><a href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/6.3R/relnotes.html">http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/6.3R/relnotes.html</a></tt> + <br/> +<tt><a href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/6.3R/errata.html">http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/6.3R/errata.html</a></tt></p> + +<p>For more information about FreeBSD release engineering activities, +please see:</p> + +<p><tt><a href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/releng/">http://www.FreeBSD.org/releng/</a></tt></p> + +<p>The FreeBSD Security Team intends to support 6.3-RELEASE until January 31st, +2010.</p> + +<h2>Dedication</h2> + +<p>FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Jun-ichiro Hagino, +known throughout the Internet community as itojun, for his visionary work +on the IPv6 protocol and his many other contributions to the Internet and +BSD communities.</p> + +<h2>Availability</h2> + +<p>FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE is now available for the alpha, amd64, i386, pc98, +and sparc64 architectures. It 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 i386 and amd64.</p> + +<p>MD5 and SHA256 hashes for the release ISO images are included at the +bottom of this message.</p> + +<p>The contents of the ISO images provided as part of the release has changed +for most of the architectures. Using the i386 architecture as an example, +there are ISO images named ``bootonly'', ``disc1'', ``disc2'', ``disc3'', and ``docs''. +The ``bootonly'' image is suitable for booting a machine to do a network based +installation using FTP or NFS. The ``disc1'', ``disc2'', and ``disc3'' images are +used to do a full installation that includes a basic set of packages and does +not require network access to an FTP or NFS server during the installation. +In addition, ``disc1'' supports booting into a live CD-based filesystem and +system rescue mode. The ``docs'' image has all of the documentation for all +supported languages. Most people will find that ``disc1'', ``disc2'' and ``disc3'' +are all that are needed. If you intend to install ports from source +instead of using the pre-built packages included with the release only +``disc1'' is needed.</p> + +<p>FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE can also be purchased on CD-ROM from several +vendors. One of the vendors that will be offering FreeBSD 6.3-based +products is:</p> + +<ul> +<li><p>FreeBSD Mall, Inc. +<tt><a href="http://www.freebsdmall.com/">http://www.freebsdmall.com/</a></tt></p></li> +</ul> + +<h2>Bittorrent</h2> + +<p>6.3-RELEASE ISOs are available via BitTorrent.
