Return-Path: The FreeBSD Release Engineering Team is pleased to announce the
+ availability of FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE. This is the second release
+ from the stable/9 branch, which improves on the stability of
+ FreeBSD 9.0 and introduces some new features. Some of the
+ highlights: New Intel GPU driver with GEM/KMS support netmap(4) fast userspace packet I/O framework ZFS improvements from illumos project CAM Target Layer, a disk and processor device emulation subsystem Optional new C++11 stack including LLVM libc++ and libcxxrt Jail devfs, nullfs, zfs mounting and configuration file support POSIX2008 extended locale support, including compatibility with
+ Darwin extensions oce(4) driver for Emulex OneConnect 10Gbit Ethernet card sfxge(4) driver for 10Gb Ethernet adapters based on Solarflare
+ SFC9000 controller Xen Paravirtualized Backend Ethernet Driver (netback) improvement hpt27xx(4) driver for HighPoint RocketRAID 27xx-based SAS 6Gb/s HBA GEOM multipath class improvement GEOM raid class is enabled by default supporting software RAID
+ by deprecated ataraid(8) kernel support for the AVX FPU extension Numerous improvements in IPv6 hardware offload support Please note that precompiled third-party packages are not
+ available for 9.1-RELEASE at the time of release. See the Availability section below for further
+ details. For a complete list of new features and known problems, please
+ see the online release notes and errata list available at: For more information about FreeBSD release engineering
+ activities please see: FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE is now available for the amd64, i386,
+ powerpc64, and sparc64 architectures. FreeBSD 9.1 can be installed from bootable ISO images or over
+ the network. Some architectures also support installing from a
+ USB memory stick. The required files can be downloaded via FTP
+ or BitTorrent as described in the sections below. While some of
+ the smaller FTP mirrors may not carry all architectures, they
+ will all generally contain the more common ones such as amd64
+ and i386. MD5 and SHA256 hashes for the release ISO images are included
+ at the bottom of this message. The purpose of the images provided as part of the release are
+ as follows: This contains everything necessary to install the base
+ FreeBSD operating system, a collection of pre-built packages
+ aimed at getting a graphical workstation up and running. It
+ also supports booting into a "livefs" based rescue mode.
+ This should be all you need if you can burn and use
+ DVD-sized media. This contains the base FreeBSD operating system. It also
+ supports booting into a "livefs" based rescue mode. There
+ are no pre-built packages. This supports booting a machine using the CDROM drive but
+ does not contain the support for installing FreeBSD from the
+ CD itself. You would need to perform a network based
+ install (e.g. from an FTP server) after booting from the
+ CD. This can be written to an USB memory stick (flash drive)
+ and used to do an install on machines capable of booting off
+ USB drives. It also supports booting into a "livefs" based
+ rescue mode. There are no pre-built packages. As one example of how to use the memstick image, assuming
+ the USB drive appears as /dev/da0 on your machine something
+ like this should work: Be careful to make sure you get the target (of=) correct. Due to the security incident reported here: http://www.FreeBSD.org/news/2012-compromise.html only the small third-party package set on the DVD image is
+ available at this time for users who require pre-built packages
+ (just GNOME and KDE windowing systems). The FreeBSD Project's
+ package building infrastructure is undergoing a complete review
+ and redesign. At this time we can not commit to a date the full
+ release package set will become available. A separate
+ announcement will be made when that becomes available. If you
+ wish to install 9.1-RELEASE now you can build your own packages
+ using portsnap(8) to obtain an up to date ports tree and then
+ build the packages. If you require pre-built packages you
+ should wait for the announcement of the full release package set
+ becoming available. FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE can also be purchased on CD-ROM or DVD from
+ several vendors. One of the vendors that will be offering FreeBSD
+ 9.1-based products is: FreeBSD Mall, Inc. http://www.freebsdmall.com/ At the time of this announcement the following FTP sites have
+ FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE available. However before trying these sites please check your regional
+ mirror(s) first by going to: ftp://ftp.<yourdomain>.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD Any additional mirror sites will be labeled
+ ftp2, ftp3 and so on. More information about FreeBSD mirror sites can be found at: For instructions on installing FreeBSD or updating an existing
+ machine to 9.1-RELEASE please see: 9.1-RELEASE is an extended support releases and will be
+ supported by the FreeBSD Security Team until it's End-of-Life
+ (EoL) date of December 31st 2014. As 9.1-RELEASE got delayed,
+ the EoL of 9.0-RELEASE has been pushed to March 31st 2013 to
+ allow people sufficient time to upgrade. As always all EoL dates
+ can be found at http://security.FreeBSD.org/. There are many "third party" Projects based on FreeBSD. The
+ Projects range from re-packaging FreeBSD into a more "novice
+ friendly" distribution to making FreeBSD available on Amazon's
+ EC2 infrastructure. For more information about these Third
+ Party Projects see: Many companies donated equipment, network access, or man-hours
+ to support the release engineering activities for FreeBSD 9.1
+ including The FreeBSD Foundation, Yahoo!, NetApp, Internet
+ Systems Consortium, Sentex Communications, New York Internet,
+ Juniper Networks, and iXsystems. The release engineering team for 9.1-RELEASE includes: FreeBSD is a registered trademark of The FreeBSD Foundation.
