The first BETA build of the 8.3-RELEASE release cycle is now available
on the FTP servers for the amd64, i386, and pc98 architectures.  The
MD5/SHA256 sums are tacked on to the bottom of this message.  The ISO
and, for architectures that support it, the memory stick images are
available here:

  ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/ISO-IMAGES/8.3/

(or any of the FreeBSD mirror sites).

8.3-BETA1 images have also been published for Amazon EC2.

Since the stable/8 branch is relatively mature we hope there will only
be one BETA build for this release cycle.  If testing does not turn up
any show-stopper caliber problems the next test build will be RC1.

If you notice problems you can report them through the normal Gnats PR
system or here on the -stable mailing list.

If you would like to use csup/cvsup mechanisms to do a source-based
update of an existing system the branch tag to use is "RELENG_8".  If
you would like to use SVN instead use "stable/8".

The freebsd-update(8) utility supports binary upgrades of i386 and amd64=
=20
systems running earlier FreeBSD releases.  Systems running 8.1-RELEASE or
8.2-RELEASE can upgrade as follows:

# freebsd-update upgrade -r 8.3-BETA1

During this process, FreeBSD Update may ask the user to help by merging=20
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=20
continuing.

# shutdown -r now

After rebooting, freebsd-update needs to be run again to install the new=
=20
userland components, and the system needs to be rebooted again:

# freebsd-update install # shutdown -r now

Users of earlier FreeBSD releases (FreeBSD 7.x) can also use freebsd-update
to upgrade to FreeBSD 8.3-BETA1, 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 7.x and FreeBSD 8.x.
