+ From: "Jordan K. Hubbard" <jkh@zippy.cdrom.com>
+ To: announce@FreeBSD.org
+ Subject: 4.0-RELEASE is now available

+ +

Well, it's a bit late and hopefully all the better for it, but here + it is. It gives me great pleasure to announce the release of FreeBSD + 4.0-RELEASE. This is our first release along the 4.x-stable (RELENG_4) + branch and contains a number of significant advancements over FreeBSD + 3.4. Please see the release notes for further information as the list + of new features is too long to list here.

+ +

FreeBSD 4.0-RELEASE is available from ftp.FreeBSD.org and various FTP + mirror sites throughout the world. It can also be ordered on CD from + The FreeBSD Mall, from where + it will be shipping soon on a 4 CD set. There will also be two such + sets available for 4.0, one containing installation bits for the x86 + architecture (as well a lot of other material of general interest to + programmers and end-users alike) and another for DEC Alpha architecture + machines.

+ +

As usual, disc #1 from Walnut Creek CDROM's official distribution (for + both architectures) will also be available via anonymous FTP as soon + as it's been compiled in its final form. Please monitor the master FTP + site for details. We also can't promise that all the mirror sites will + carry this rather large (660MB) installation image, but it will at least + be available (once ready) from:

+ +

ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/4.0-install.iso
+ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/alpha/ISO-IMAGES/4.0-install.iso

+ +

These files allow one to install the base system and all of its most + important add-ons from a single bootable image, one which can be written + as a raw ISO 9660 image by most CD creator software.

+ +

Even though we make our installation CDs freely available, we also + hope that you'll continue to support the FreeBSD project by purchasing + one of its official CD releases from the FreeBSD mall. A portion of + each sale goes to support FreeBSD's development and general infrastructure + and is thus highly appreciated.

+ +

The official FTP distribution site for FreeBSD is:

+ +

ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD

+ +

Or via the WEB pages at:

+ +

http://www.freebsdmall.com/
+http://www.wccdrom.com/

+1. What's new since the 3.1/4.0 branch
+--------------------------------------
+All changes described here are unique to the 4.0 branch unless
+specifically marked as [MERGED] features.
+
+
+1.1. KERNEL CHANGES
+-------------------
+
+NFS has been immensely improved with bug fixes and performance tuning.
+
+Support for more than 32 signals has been added. 
+
+POSIX 1003.1 conformant SA_SIGINFO signal handlers are now supported.
+SIGFPE signal handlers (both SA_SIGINFO and traditional BSD handlers)
+now get meaningful error codes describing the kind of error. See
+sigaction(2).
+
+IA32 hardware debug registers are now supported.  See ptrace(2) and
+procfs(5).
+
+Jail(8) aware sysctl(8) variables have been added for Linux mode.
+
+A large number of bug fixes and performance improvements have been
+made to the VM system, including and most especially to mmap() and
+related functions.  The MAP_NOSYNC option has been added to better support 
+the use of shared files as an IPC mechanism.  The VM system's swapper has
+been completely rewritten and performance has been greatly enhanced,
+especially when swapping over NFS.
+
+An emulator for SVR4 binaries has been added.
+
+Support has been added for direct access to NTFS filesystems.
+
+Support for the NWFS filesystem and NetWare client connections has
+been added.  A variety of NetWare related tools, such as ipxping
+and ncprint, have been added in ports/net/ncplib.
+
+A new ATA/ATAPI driver has been implemented. The aim of this new
+subsystem is to maximise performance on modern ATA/ATAPI based
+systems. The "ata" driver supports all major chipsets including
+those used on PCI card based controllers like the Promise and the
+Abit/SIIG. There is support for busmaster DMA transfers upto and 
+including the new ATA/66 mode. The 'ata' driver automatically
+setup the hardware for the maximum possible transfer mode to
+maximise system throughput. Supported devices are all ATA compliant
+disks and ATAPI CDROM, CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, LS120, ZIP 
+and tape drives. The ata driver also support PCCARD ATA devices. 
+The 'ata' driver also sports error handling and timeout code, to 
+avoid the problems of "hung" ATA/ATAPI devices.
+
+A new utility 'burncd' has been written to facilitate easy control
+of ATAPI CD-R and CD-RW drives, and allows burning of CD-R/RW
+media in a wide selction of formats, including multisession mode.
+
+Driver support has been added for PCI gigabit ethernet adapters
+based on the Alteon Networks Tigon 1 and Tigon 2 chipsets, including
+the Alteon AceNIC, 3Com 3c985 and Netgear GA620. [MERGED]
+
+Driver support has been added for IEEE 802.11 PCMCIA wireless network
+adapters based on the Lucent Hermes chipset, including the Lucent
+WaveLAN/IEEE 802.11, the Cabletron RoamAbout and Melco Aireconnect.  
+Both 2Mbps and 6Mbps Turbo adapters are supported. [MERGED]
+
+Driver support has been added for PCI fast ethernet cards based
+on the ADMtek Inc. AL981 Comet chipset. [MERGED]
+
+Driver support has been added for PCI fast ethernet cards based
+on the ADMtek Inc. AL985 Centaur chipset. [MERGED]
+
+Support has been added for the Rise mP6 processor. [MERGED]
+
+Driver support has been added for SysKonnect SK-984x PCI gigabit
+ethernet adapters. [MERGED]
+
+Driver support has been added for Adaptec Duralink PCI ethernet adapters
+based on the Adaptec AIC-6915 fast ethernet controller. [MERGED]
+
+Driver support has been added for PCI fast ethernet adapters based on
+the Sundance Technologies ST201 controller, including the D-Link DFE-550TX.
+[MERGED]
+
+Driver support has been added for the 3Com 3c905C-TX. [MERGED]
+
+Driver support has been added for SMC SMC9xxx-based Ethernet adapters.
+
+Several IPFW improvements including stateful inspection, user- and
+group-based firewalling, dynamic logging with arbitrary logging
+limits, probabilistic rule match. [MERGED]
+
+IPv6 IPFW has been imported from the KAME project.
+
+The "dummynet" traffic shaper now handles efficiently thousands
+of independent queues. [MERGED]
+
+Several fixes to bridging, which now supports clusters of interfaces
+with bridging being done independently within each cluster. [MERGED]
+
+The top-level syslog(3) category "security" has been added, and IPFW now
+uses syslog(3) to log all messages to /var/log/security.
+
+Driver support has been added for PCI fast ethernet adapters based on
+the Silicon Integrated Systems SiS 900 and SiS 7016 ethernet controllers.
+[MERGED]
+
+Driver support has been added for PCI fast ethernet adapters based on
+the Davicom DM9100 and DM9102 ethernet controllers, including the Jaton
+Corporation XpressNet.
+
+Support has been added for blocking incoming ICMP redirects, outgoing RST
+frames and incoming SYN|FIN frames in order to lessen or nullify the
+impact of certain kinds of DoS attacks. [MERGED]
+
+Support has been added for forwarding IP datagrams without inspecting or
+decreasing the TTL in order to make gateways and firewalls less visible
+and therefore less exposed to attacks. [MERGED]
+
+The old `sd' (SCSI Disk) backwards compatibility support has been removed.
+Any usage of "/dev/sd*" in ``/etc/fstab'' must be replaced by "/dev/da*".
+In addition, any useage of "/dev/*sd*" in scripts need to be changed.
+Even if you have old `sd' device entries in /dev, they will no longer work.
+
+The `al' `ax' `dm' `pn' and `mx' drivers have been removed and replaced
+with a single driver (`dc') in order to reduce code duplication. The
+new driver handles all chipsets supported by the older drivers, and it
+offers improved support for 10/100 cards based on the DEC/Intel 21143.
+
+Driver support has been added for the 3Com 3c450-TX HomeConnect
+PCI ethernet NIC. [MERGED]
+
+Driver support has been added for USB ethernet adapters based on
+the ADMtek AN986 Pegasus chip, including the LinkSys USB100TX,
+the Billionton USB100, the Melco Inc. LU-ATX, the D-Link 650TX
+and the SMC-2202USB.
+
+Driver support has been added for USB ethernet adapters based on
+the Kawasaki LSI KL5KUSB101B chip, including the LinkSys USB10T,
+the Peracom USB Ethernet Adapter, the 3Com 3c19250, the Entrega
+NET-USB-E45, the ADS Technologies USB-10BT, the ATen UC10T, the
+Netgear EA101, the D-Link DSB-650, and the SMC 2102USB and 2104USB.
+
+IPfilter version 3.3.8 has been integrated.
+
+Driver support has been added for USB ethernet adapters based on
+the CATC USB-EL1210A chip, including the CATC Netmate and Netmate II,
+and the Belkin F5U111.
+
+Driver support has been added for Aironet 4500/4800 802.11 wireless
+adapters. This includes PCMCIA, PCI and ISA models.
+
+IPv6 support has been imported from the KAME project. This includes the
+kernel IPv6 protocol stack (sys/netinet6), TCP IPv6 support, configurable
+IPv6 and IPv4 tunneling over IPv6 or IPv4, and IPv6 TCP to IPv4 TCP
+translation gateway support. Protocol-independent name resolution
+functions have been added to libc (getaddrinfo, getnameinfo, etc).
+
+Floating point exceptions for new processes (devide-by-zero,
+under/overflow, invalid range etc.) are now disabled by default. Use
+fpsetmask(3) to reenable those you need. Note that integer
+device-by-zero is not covered by the FPU and will still trap after
+this change. Also note that conversion of float/double to integer
+where the float variable is too big now doesn't trap as well (it can't
+be seperated from other operations we want masked).
+
+
+1.2. SECURITY FIXES
+-------------------
+
+Numerous security enhancements and fixes have been applied during the
+course of development of FreeBSD 4.0. Most of these have also been
+backported to the 3.x-STABLE series.
+
+A new jail(2) system call and admin command (jail(8)) have been added for
+additional flexibility in creating secure process execution environments.
+
+OpenSSL v0.9.4 (a general-purpose cryptography and SSL2/3/TLSv1 toolkit)
+has been integrated with the base system. In the future this will be used
+to provide strong cryptography for FreeBSD utilities out-of-the-box.
+
+OpenSSH 1.2 has been integrated with the base system. OpenSSH is a free
+(BSD-licensed), full-featured implementation of the SSH v1 protocol, which
+is completely interoperable with other SSH v1 clients and servers, such as
+the /usr/ports/security/ssh port.  OpenSSH provides all of the features of
+this port - in fact it is based on an older release before the software
+became restrictively licensed.  FreeBSD 4.0 provides SSH client/server
+functionality out-of-the-box if you choose to install the 'DES'
+cryptography distribution in sysinstall.
+
+Telnet has a new encrypted authentication mechanism called SRA. SRA
+uses a Diffie-Hellmen exchange to establish a session key, then uses
+that to DES encrypt the username and password. As a side effect the
+session key is used to DES encrypt the session. SRA is vulnerable to
+man-in-the-middle attacks, the DH parameters are on the small side,
+and DES is showing its age, but the benefits are that it requires
+absolutely no administrative changes to the machine to work, and is
+at the very least a step up from plaintext. To use it, you need to
+either use "telnet -ax" or set up a .telnetrc to enable it by default.
+
+IPsec support has been imported from the KAME project. This includes IPsec
+tunnel mode to implement a Virtual Private Network via a security gateway,
+and IPsec transport mode to achieve secure socket-level communication.
+Also, kernel-internal crypto code has been imported to sys/crypto, and
+IPsec support has been added to the following userland applications:
+sbin/ping, usr.sbin/inetd, usr.sbin/rrenumd, usr.sbin/traceroute6,
+usr.sbin/rtadvd, usr.sbin/setkey
+
+
+1.3. USERLAND CHANGES
+---------------------
+
+The base C/C++ compiler has been upgraded from GCC 2.7.2 to GCC 2.95.2.
+This gives users full ISO C++ support, and preliminary C9x support.
+
+Various changes has been made to /bin/sh to improve POSIX 1003.2
+conformance, especially for scripting.
+
+The f77 emulation via f2c has been replaced by a native F77 compiler.
+
+The timezone database has been updated to catch all of the recent changes
+in Europe, the former Soviet Union, and Central and South America.
+The timezone data files now contain a magic number allowing for easy
+identification.
+
+Groff/troff/eqn has been updated to version 1.15.
+
+Gdb has been updated to version 4.18.
+
+Numerous fixes have been applied to improve the security of FreeBSD code
+as part of the FreeBSD Auditing Project.
+
+FreeBSD's threads library, libc_r, has had many features and performance
+improvements added, which makes it almost completely POSIX-compliant.  In
+addition, Linux's kernel-supported LinuxThreads library is now available as
+a port (ports/devel/linuxthreads), which can be used for native FreeBSD
+programs.
+
+The following dedicated IPv6 applications have been added:
+ sbin/ping6, sbin/rtsol, usr.sbin/gifconfig, usr.sbin/ifmcstat,
+ usr.sbin/pim6dd, usr.sbin/pim6sd, usr.sbin/prefix, usr.sbin/rip6query,
+ usr.sbin/route6d, usr.sbin/rrenumd, usr.sbin/rtadvd, usr.sbin/rtsold,
+ usr.sbin/traceroute6
+
+The following applications have been updated to support IPv6:
+ usr.bin/netstat, usr.bin/fstat, usr.bin/sockstat, usr.sbin/tcpdchk,
+ usr.sbin/tcpdump, usr.sbin/trpt, libexec/ftpd, libexec/rlogind,
+ libexec/rshd, libexec/telnetd
+
+Many ports have been updated to support IPv6. See the 'ipv6' virtual ports
+category for a list.
+
+Sysinstall enables PC-card controllers and pccardd(8) for PC-card 
+installation media.
+
+
+2. Supported Configurations
+---------------------------
+FreeBSD currently runs on a wide variety of ISA, VLB, EISA, MCA and PCI
+bus based PC's, ranging from 386sx to Pentium class machines (though the
+386sx is not recommended).  Support for generic IDE or ESDI drive
+configurations, various SCSI controller, network and serial cards is
+also provided.
+
+What follows is a list of all peripherals currently known to work with
+FreeBSD.  Other configurations may also work, we have simply not as yet

+
+3. Obtaining FreeBSD
+--------------------
+
+You may obtain FreeBSD in a variety of ways:
+
+
+3.1. FTP/Mail
+-------------
+
+You can ftp FreeBSD and any or all of its optional packages from
+`ftp.FreeBSD.org' - the official FreeBSD release site.
+
+For other locations that mirror the FreeBSD software see the file
+MIRROR.SITES.  Please ftp the distribution from the site closest (in
+networking terms) to you.  Additional mirror sites are always welcome!
+Contact freebsd-admin@FreeBSD.org for more details if you'd like to 
+become an official mirror site.
+
+If you do not have access to the Internet and electronic mail is your
+only recourse, then you may still fetch the files by sending mail to
+`ftpmail@ftpmail.vix.com' - putting the keyword "help" in your message
+to get more information on how to fetch files using this mechanism.
+Please do note, however, that this will end up sending many *tens of
+megabytes* through the mail and should only be employed as an absolute
+LAST resort!
+
+
+3.2. CDROM
+----------
+
+FreeBSD 3.0-RELEASE and 2.2.x-RELEASE CDs may be ordered on CDROM from:
+
+        Walnut Creek CDROM
+        4041 Pike Lane, Suite D
+        Concord CA  94520
+        1-800-786-9907, +1-925-674-0783, +1-925-674-0821 (FAX)
+
+Or via the Internet from orders@cdrom.com or http://www.cdrom.com.
+Their current catalog can be obtained via ftp from:
+
+        ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/cdrom/catalog
+
+Cost per -RELEASE CD is $39.95 or $24.95 with a FreeBSD subscription.
+FreeBSD SNAPshot CDs, when available, are $39.95 or $14.95 with a
+FreeBSD-SNAP subscription (-RELEASE and -SNAP subscriptions are entirely
+separate).  With a subscription, you will automatically receive updates as
+they are released.  Your credit card will be billed when each disk is
+shipped and you may cancel your subscription at any time without further
+obligation.
+
+Shipping (per order not per disc) is $5 in the US, Canada or Mexico
+and $9.00 overseas.  They accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American
+Express or checks in U.S. Dollars and ship COD within the United
+States.  California residents please add 8.25% sales tax.
+
+Should you be dissatisfied for any reason, the CD comes with an
+unconditional return policy.
+
+
+4. Upgrading from previous releases of FreeBSD
+----------------------------------------------
+
+If you're upgrading from a previous release of FreeBSD, most likely
+it's 3.0 and some of the following issues may affect you, depending
+of course on your chosen method of upgrading.  There are two popular
+ways of upgrading FreeBSD distributions:
+
+        o Using sources, via /usr/src
+        o Using sysinstall's (binary) upgrade option.
+
+[insert other notes here]
+
+
+5. Reporting problems, making suggestions, submitting code.
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+Your suggestions, bug reports and contributions of code are always
+valued - please do not hesitate to report any problems you may find
+(preferably with a fix attached, if you can!).
+
+The preferred method to submit bug reports from a machine with
+Internet mail connectivity is to use the send-pr command or use the CGI
+script at http://www.FreeBSD.org/send-pr.html.  Bug reports
+will be dutifully filed by our faithful bugfiler program and you can
+be sure that we'll do our best to respond to all reported bugs as soon
+as possible.  Bugs filed in this way are also visible on our WEB site
+in the support section and are therefore valuable both as bug reports
+and as "signposts" for other users concerning potential problems to
+watch out for.
+
+If, for some reason, you are unable to use the send-pr command to
+submit a bug report, you can try to send it to:
+
+                freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org
+
+Note that send-pr itself is a shell script that should be easy to move
+even onto a totally different system.  We much prefer if you could use
+this interface, since it make it easier to keep track of the problem
+reports.  However, before submitting, please try to make sure whether
+the problem might have already been fixed since.
+
+
+Otherwise, for any questions or tech support issues, please send mail to:
+
+                freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org
+
+
+Additionally, being a volunteer effort, we are always happy to have
+extra hands willing to help - there are already far more desired
+enhancements than we'll ever be able to manage by ourselves!  To
+contact us on technical matters, or with offers of help, please send
+mail to:
+
+                freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.org
+
+
+Please note that these mailing lists can experience *significant*
+amounts of traffic and if you have slow or expensive mail access and
+are only interested in keeping up with significant FreeBSD events, you
+may find it preferable to subscribe instead to:
+
+                freebsd-announce@FreeBSD.org
+
+
+All of the mailing lists can be freely joined by anyone wishing
+to do so.  Send mail to MajorDomo@FreeBSD.org and include the keyword
+`help' on a line by itself somewhere in the body of the message.  This
+will give you more information on joining the various lists, accessing
+archives, etc.  There are a number of mailing lists targeted at
+special interest groups not mentioned here, so send mail to majordomo
+and ask about them!
+
+
