  Our third 4.5 release candidate is now available :

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.5-RC3
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ISO-IMAGES-i386/4.5-RC3-install.iso

  This release candidate fixes a number of issues that were reported
with RC2.  Installations from aic(4)-based PCMCIA devices should now
be possible.  For this RC, bge(4) was added to the GENERIC kernel and the
txp(4) device was moved over to the MFSROOT as a module.  This should
allow network installations with Broadcom gigabit Ethernet
adapters.[1]  A number of suggestions about the package set were
addressed with this RC, but unfortunately sawfish-gnome, fvwm2, and
xfmail are still unavailable.  There will be one final release
candidate (RC4) before the final release is made available.

  The testing guide and release notes have been updated with a few new
items :

      Thanks,

      The FreeBSD 4.5 Release Engineering Team.

[1] This functionality has not been committed to -STABLE yet, a small
patch was patched to the build with "make release LOCAL_PATCHES=..".
The patch is available at
http://www.freebsd.org/~murray/patches/drivers.diff, and simply turns
on a new device for the boot floppy.
