--k+w/mQv8wyuph6w0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Announcement ------------ The FreeBSD Release Engineering Team is pleased to announce the availability of FreeBSD 5.4-RC4, the fourth Release Candidate of the FreeBSD 5.4 release cycle. This will be the last Release Candidate, unless a major problem is discovered as part of RC4 testing the final release will be made early next week. This RC contains fixes to all known major issues. We encourage people to help with testing so any final bugs can be identified and worked out. =20 Availability of ISO images and support for doing FTP based installs is given below. If you have an older system you want to update using the normal CVS/cvsup source based upgrade the branch tag to use is RELENG_5_4. Problem reports can be submitted using the send-pr(1) command, and/or posted to the "freebsd-stable@freebsd.org" mailing list. A schedule and the current todo list for the 5.4 Release Cycle are availabl= e: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.4R/schedule.html http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.4R/todo.html The packages being provided as part of RC4 are what is expected to come with the final release for the alpha, amd64, i386, pc98, and sparc64 architectures. There will be a few more adjustments made to the package set for ia64. Special thanks to Doug White (Looksmart), Stephan Uphoff, Alan Cox (Rice University), Robert Watson (SPARTA), John Baldwin (The Weather Channel), Paul Vixie (ISC), and Peter Losher (ISC) for their work tracking down and fixing the last big show-stopper.
