--jaoouwwPWoQSJZYp Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable FreeBSD 4.5-RC1 / i386 is now available : ftp://releng4.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/ 4.5-RC1.iso The RC has been on ftp-master for several hours, so ftp.freebsd.org and the other Tier 1 mirrors should pick up the bits soon. The build for the Alpha platform will also be available shortly (within 12 hours). =20 Please help test this release candidate on as many different configurations as possible. Robert Watson posted a testing guide for FreeBSD 4.5 to the -qa list, which is archived here : http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=3D35004+0+archive/2001/freebsd= -qa/20011223.freebsd-qa We're particularly interested in seeing the RC put into more demanding environments than just a typical desktop install. A number of significant changes have been made that should increase performance over 4.4, and we'd like to test these new improvements as much as possible. RC1 x86 Errata : The ISO image includes XFree86 and a full package set, so if you think a package is missing that should be on the first CD of 4.5-RELEASE, please speak up now. Currently, we're planning to make the following changes to the package set for RC2 : 1. Remove KDE dependency on teTeX, and move this large package to another disc. 2. Use the extra space to add fvwm and GNOME + Sawfish. These packages are needed by sysinstall but are not available on this RC due to space limitations. RC1 Alpha Errata : - The release build was named "RC1" instead of "4.5-RC1", so the sysinstall welcome menu may look a bit funny. This will be fixed for RC2. - XFree86 3.3.6 currently has build problems on the Alpha, so X is not included on this first RC. - The Alpha ports-cluster is not available to the ports team at the moment, so this RC lacks packages. And finally, our original release schedule proved too aggressive for the holiday season. We've delayed the release until the 26th to give our -stable users more time to test the recent changes. Thanks! - The FreeBSD 4.5 Release Engineering Team --jaoouwwPWoQSJZYp Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (SunOS) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8PKa9tNcQog5FH30RAgfRAJ9dV0SupuzuNETQYb/SvOQBYIu4fwCggmkV vIOIPytvbWtj7SyvCNZOEUw= =9gLE -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --jaoouwwPWoQSJZYp-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
