Since + release 2.0, FreeBSD has been based on the Berkeley + 4.4BSD-Lite code rather than the Net2 code used for + previous versions. In addition to clearing the legal + issues that surrounded the Net2 code, the port to 4.4 + has also brought in numerous new features, filesystems + and enhanced driver support. + + Since our release of FreeBSD 2.0 in November of 1994, + the performance, feature set, and stability of FreeBSD + has improved dramatically. The largest change is a + revamped Virtual Memory (VM) system with a merged + virtual memory and file buffer cache. This increases + performance while reducing FreeBSD's memory footprint, + making a system with 4 megabytes of RAM a more + acceptable minimum. Other enhancements include full + NIS client and server support, transaction TCP support, + dial on demand PPP, an improved SCSI subsystem, early + support for ISDN, support for FDDI and 100Mbit Fast + Ethernet adapters, improved support for the Adaptec + 2940 and hundreds of bug fixes. + + We have also taken the comments and suggestions of many + of our users to heart and have attempted to provide + what we hope is a more sane and easily understood + installation process. Your feedback on this constantly + evolving process is especially welcome! + + In addition to the base distributions, FreeBSD offers a + new ported software collection with some 270 commonly + sought-after programs. The list of ports ranges from + World Wide Web (http) servers, to games, languages, + editors and almost everything in between. The entire + ports collection requires only 10MB of storage because + each port contains only the changes required for the + source code to compile on FreeBSD and the information + necessary to automatically retrieve the original + sources. The original distribution for each port you + build is automatically retrieved off of CD-ROM or a via + anonymous ftp, so you need only enough disk space to + build the ports you want. Each port is also provided + as a pre-compiled package which can be installed with + the <tt>pkg_add(1)</tt> command for those who do not + wish to compile their own ports from source. See <ref + id="ports" name="The Ports Collection"> for a more + complete description. + +<!-- XXX make xref + For a list of contributors and a general project + description, please see the file "CONTRIB.FreeBSD" + which should be bundled with your binary distribution. + + Also see the "REGISTER.FreeBSD" file for information on + registering with the "Free BSD user counter". This + counter is for ALL freely available variants of BSD, + not just FreeBSD, and we urge you to register yourself + with it. +--> + + The core of FreeBSD does not contain DES code which + would inhibit its being exported outside the United + States. An add-on package, for use only in the United + States, contains the programs that normally use DES. + The auxiliary packages provided separately can be used + by anyone. A freely exportable European distribution + of DES for our non-U.S. users also exists and is + described in the <url + url="http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ" name="FreeBSD + FAQ">. If password security for FreeBSD is all you + need, and you have no requirement for copying encrypted + passwords from other hosts using DES into FreeBSD + password entries, then FreeBSD's MD5 based security may + be all you require. We feel that our default security + model is more than a match for DES, and without any + messy export issues to deal with. + + FreeBSD 2.0.5 represents the culmination of 2 years of + work and many thousands of man hours put in by an + international development team. We hope you enjoy it! + + <sect1><heading>New feature highlights</heading> + + <p>The following features were added or substantially + improved between the release of 2.0 and this 2.0.5 + release. In order to facilitate better + communication, the person, or persons, responsible + for each enhancement is noted. Any questions + regarding the new functionality should be directed to + them first. + + <sect2><heading>Kernel</heading> + + <p> + <descrip> + + <tag>Merged VM-File Buffer Cache</tag> A merged + VM/buffer cache design greatly enhances overall + system performance and makes it possible to do + a number of more optimal memory allocation + strategies that were not possible before. + + Owner: &a.davidg; and &a.dyson; + + <tag>Network PCB hash optimization</tag> For + systems with a great number of active TCP + connections (WEB and ftp servers, for example), + this greatly speeds up the lookup time required + to match an incoming packet up to its + associated connection. + + Owner: &a.davidg; + + <tag>Name cache optimization</tag> The name-cache + would cache all files of the same name to the + same bucket, which would put for instance all + ".." entries in the same bucket. We added the + parent directory version to frustrate the hash, + and improved the management of the cache in + various other ways while we were at it. + + Owner: &a.phk; and &a.davidg; + + <tag>Less restrictive swap-spaces</tag> The need + to compile the names of the swap devices into + the kernel has been removed. Now + <tt>swapon(8)</tt> will accept any block + devices, up to the maximum number of swap + devices configured in the kernel. + + Owner: &a.phk; and &a.davidg; + + <tag>Hard Wired SCSI Devices</tag> Prior to + 2.0.5, FreeBSD performed dynamic assignment of + unit numbers to SCSI devices as they were + probed, allowing a SCSI device failure to + possibly change unit number assignment. This + could cause filesystems other disks in the + system to be incorrectly mounted, or not + mounted at all. Hard wiring allows static + allocation of unit numbers (and hence device + names) to scsi devices based on SCSI ID and + bus. SCSI configuration occurs in the kernel + config file. Samples of the configuration + syntax can be found in the <tt>scsi(4)</tt> man + page or the LINT kernel config file. + + Owner: &a.dufault; + + Sources involved: <tt>sys/scsi/*</tt> + <tt>usr.sbin/config/*</tt> + + <tag>Slice Support</tag> FreeBSD now supports a + <em>slice</em> abstraction which enhances + FreeBSD's ability to share disks with other + operating systems.
