<b>From:</b> Scott Long <scottl@FreeBSD.org><br clear="none" /> + <b>To:</b> freebsd-announce@FreeBSD.org<br clear="none" /> + <b>Subject:</b> [FreeBSD-Announce] FreeBSD 5.2 Released!</p> + +<p> +It is once again my great privilege and pleasure to announce the +availability of FreeBSD 5.2-RELEASE. Building upon the success of +FreeBSD 5.1, this release includes: +</p> + +<ul> + <li>Full Tier-1 support for single and multiprocessor AMD Athlon64 + and Opteron systems.</li> + + <li>Dynamically linked root partition for a smaller installation + footprint and better integration with the Name Service Switch + subsystem.</li> + + <li>New and improved driver support for IDE, SATA, and 802.11a/b/g + devices, and significantly better integration with the ACPI power + management subsystem.</li> + + <li>Client support for the Network File System version 4 + protocol.</li> + + <li>Experimental first-stage support for multithreaded filtering and + forwarding of IP traffic. This also provides the foundation for a + fully multi-threaded network stack in the next release of + FreeBSD.</li> + + <li>In-box support for the latest Gnome 2.4 and KDE 3.1 + desktops.</li> + +</ul> + +<p> +FreeBSD 5.2 also contains a number of significant stability and +performance improvements over FreeBSD 5.1. However, it is still +considered a 'New Technology' release and might not be suitable for +all users. Users with more conservative needs may prefer to continue +using FreeBSD 4.X. Information on the various trade-offs involved, as +well as some notes on future plans for both FreeBSD 4.X and 5.X, can +be found in the Early Adopter's Guide, available here: +</p> + +<p> +<tt><a href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/5.2R/early-adopter.html" shape="rect">http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/5.2R/early-adopter.html</a></tt> +</p> + +<p> +For a complete list of new features and known problems, please see the +release notes and errata list, available here: +</p> + +<p><tt><a href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/5.2R/relnotes.html" shape="rect">http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/5.2R/relnotes.html</a></tt></p> +<p><tt><a href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/5.2R/errata.html" shape="rect">http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/5.2R/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/" shape="rect">http://www.FreeBSD.org/releng/</a></tt> +</p> + +<p><b>Availability</b></p> + +<p> +FreeBSD 5.2-RELEASE supports the i386, pc98, alpha, sparc64, amd64, and +ia64 architectures and can be installed directly over the net using the +boot floppies or copied to a local NFS/FTP server.
