- Subject: Announcing FreeBSD 2.0.5 ALPHA! -

- -

It gives me great pleasure to announce the release of FreeBSD 2.0.5-ALPHA! - -

2.0.5A represents a significant improvement over FreeBSD 2.0R and is our -release-candidate for 2.0.5R later on this week. We're doing a short ALPHA -release in order to shake out any glaring bugs before rolling 2.0.5R and -moving on to 2.1R, which is the bigger goal. If you're looking for 2.1R, -then THIS ISN'T IT. It's an interim release aimed at people who want -something newer and better than 2.0R to run and don't feel like waiting -for late July, which is when 2.1R is scheduled to go into BETA test. - -

That said, I think most people will enjoy 2.0.5 quite a bit, and while -it's not up to the "full release quality" we hope to have for 2.1R, it's -certainly more stable and generally nicer to use than 2.0R! - -

2.0.5A is currently available on the following sites: - -

Primary: -
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.0.5-ALPHA - -
Secondary:

NOTE: If you're installing directly from ftp you can simply grab the -boot.flp image from the floppies directory, write it to a floppy -and go from there. There is no need to grab any of the other files; -the installation will perform this step automatically! - -

Please also read the various README and RELNOTES files in the release for -more information on 2.0.5 - no sense in repeating it all here if most -of you are simply going to download and read it anyway! - -

I'd like to also extend special thanks to Poul-Henning Kamp & Gary Palmer -for exerting an especially large amount of effort this time in helping -me get the new installation together. Thanks also to Rod Grimes for -playing "source tree pit bull" when I needed him to, thus keeping the -number of headaches I had to suffer in pulling in various last-minute -changes to an absolute minimum. Thanks, guys! This couldn't have -been done without you! - -

-                                 RELEASE NOTES
-                                    FreeBSD
-                                 Release 2.0.5
-
-1. Technical overview
----------------------
-
-FreeBSD is a freely available, full source 4.4 BSD Lite based release
-for Intel i386/i486/Pentium (or compatible) based PC's.  It is based
-primarily on software from U.C. Berkeley's CSRG group, with some
-enhancements from NetBSD, 386BSD, and the Free Software Foundation.
-
-Since our release of FreeBSD 2.0 some 8 months ago, the performance,
-feature set, and stability of FreeBSD has improved dramatically.  The
-largest change is a revamped VM system with a merged VM/file buffer
-cache that not only increases performance, but reduces FreeBSD's
-memory footprint, making a 4MB configuration a more acceptable
-minimum.  Other enhancements include full NIS client and server
-support, transaction TCP support, dial-on-demand PPP, an improved SCSI
-subsystem, early ISDN support, support for FDDI and Fast Ethernet
-(100Mbit) adapters, improved support for the Adaptec 2940 (WIDE and
-narrow) and many hundreds of bug fixes.
-
-We've also taken the comments and suggestions of many of our users to
-heart and have attempted to provide what we hope is a more sane and
-easily understood installation process.  Your feedback on this
-(constantly evolving) process is especially welcome!
-
-In addition to the base distributions, FreeBSD offers a new ported
-software collection with some 270 commonly sought-after programs.  The
-list of ports ranges from http (WWW) servers, to games, languages,
-editors and almost everything in between.  The entire ports collection
-requires only 10MB of storage, all ports being expressed as "deltas"
-to their original sources.  This makes it much easier for us to update
-ports, and greatly reduces the disk space demands made by the older
-1.0 ports collection.  To compile a port, you simply change to the
-directory of the program you wish to install, type make and let the
-system do the rest.  The full original distribution for each port you
-build is retrieved dynamically off of CDROM or a local ftp site, so
-you need only enough disk space to build the ports you want.  Each
-port is also provided as a pre-compiled "package" which can be
-installed with a simple command (pkg_add) by those who do not wish to
-compile their own ports from source.  See the file:
-        /usr/share/FAQ/Text/ports.FAQ
-for a more complete description of the ports collection.
-
-
-Since our first release of FreeBSD 1.0 nearly two years ago, FreeBSD
-has changed almost entirely.  A new port from the Berkeley 4.4 code
-base was done, which brought the legal status of the system out of the
-shadows with the blessing of Novell (the new owners of USL and UNIX).  The
-port to 4.4 has also brought in a host of new features, filesystems
-and enhanced driver support.  With our new unencumbered code base, we
-have every reason to hope that we'll be able to release quality
-operating systems without further legal encumbrance for some time to
-come!
-
-FreeBSD 2.0.5 represents the culmination of 2 years of work and many
-thousands of man hours put in by an international development team.
-We hope you enjoy it!
-
-For a list of contributors and a general project description, please see
-the file "CONTRIB.FreeBSD" which should be bundled with your binary
-distribution.
-
-Also see the "REGISTER.FreeBSD" file for information on registering
-with the "Free BSD user counter".   This counter is for ALL freely
-available variants of BSD, not just FreeBSD, and we urge you to register
-yourself with it.
-
-The core of FreeBSD does not contain DES code which would inhibit its
-being exported outside the United States.  There is an add-on package
-to the core distribution, for use only in the United States, that
-contains the programs that normally use DES.  The auxiliary packages
-provided separately can be used by anyone.   A freely (from outside the
-U.S.) exportable European distribution of DES for our non-U.S. users also
-exists and is described in the FreeBSD FAQ.
-
-If password security for FreeBSD is all you need, and you have no
-requirement for copying encrypted passwords from different hosts
-(Suns, DEC machines, etc) into FreeBSD password entries, then
-FreeBSD's MD5 based security may be all you require!  We feel that our
-default security model is more than a match for DES, and without any
-messy export issues to deal with.  If you're outside (or even inside)
-the U.S., give it a try!
-
-
-1.1 What's new in 2.0.5?
-----------------------
-
-The following features were added or substantially improved between
-the release of 2.0 and this 2.0.5 release.  In order to facilitate
-better communication, the person, or persons, responsible for each
-enhancement is noted.  Any questions regarding the new functionality
-should be directed to them first.
-
-KERNEL:
-
-Merged VM-File Buffer Cache
----------------------------
-A merged VM/buffer cache design greatly enhances overall system
-performance and makes it possible to do a number of more optimal
-memory allocation strategies that were not possible before.
-
-Owner:                  David Greenman (davidg@FreeBSD.org) and
-                        John Dyson (dyson@implode.root.com)
-
-
-Network PCB hash optimization
------------------------------
-For systems with a great number of active TCP connections (WEB and ftp
-servers, for example), this greatly speeds up the lookup time required
-to match an incoming packet up to its associated connection.
-
-Owner:                  David Greenman (davidg@FreeBSD.org)
-
-
-Name cache optimization
------------------------
-The name-cache would cache all files of the same name to the same bucket,
-which would put for instance all ".." entries in the same bucket.  We added
-the parent directory version to frustrate the hash, and improved the 
-management of the cache in various other ways while we were at it.
-
-Owner:			Poul-Henning Kamp (phk@FreeBSD.org)
-			David GreenMan (davidg@FreeBSD.org)
-
-
-Less restrictive swap-spaces
-----------------------------
-The need to compile the names of the swap devices into the kernel has been
-removed.  Now swapon will accept any block devices, up to the maximum
-number of swap devices configured in the kernel.
-
-Owner:			Poul-Henning Kamp (phk@FreeBSD.org)
-			David GreenMan (davidg@FreeBSD.org)
-
-
-Hard Wired SCSI Devices
------------------------
-Prior to 2.0.5, FreeBSD performed dynamic assignment of unit numbers
-to SCSI devices as they were probed, allowing a SCSI device failure to
-possibly change unit number assignment and prevent filesystems on
-still functioning disks from mounting.  Hard wiring allows static
-allocation of unit numbers (and hence device names) to scsi devices
-based on SCSI ID and bus.  SCSI configuration occurs in the kernel
-config file.  Samples of the configuration syntax can be found in the
-scsi(4)>
-man page or the LINT kernel config file.
-

-Sources involved:       sys/scsi/* usr.sbin/config/*
-
-
-Slice Support
--------------
-FreeBSD now supports a "slice" abstraction which makes it more
-completely interoperable with other operating system partitions.  This
-support will allow FreeBSD to inhabit DOS extended partitions.
-
-Owner:                  Bruce Evans (bde@FreeBSD.org)

-                        i386/isa/wd.c scsi/sd.c dev/vn/vn.c
-
-
-Support for Ontrack Disk Manager Version 6.0
---------------------------------------------
-Support has been added for disks which use Ontrack Disk Manager.  The
-fdisk program does NOT know about it however, so make all changes
-using the install program on the boot.flp or the Ontrack Disk Manager
-tool under DOS.
-
-Owner:			Poul-Henning Kamp (phk@FreeBSD.org)
-
-
-Bad144 is back and working
---------------------------
-Bad144 works again, though the semantics are slightly different than
-before in that the bad-spots are kept relative to the slice rather
-than absolute on the disk.
-
-Owner:                  Bruce Evans (bde@FreeBSD.org)
-			Poul-Henning Kamp (phk@FreeBSD.org)
-
-
-NEW DEVICE SUPPORT:
-
-                        SCSI and CDROM Devices
-
-Matsushita/Panasonic (Creative) CD-ROM driver
----------------------------------------------
-The Matsushita/Panasonic CR-562 and CR-563 drives are now supported
-when connected to a Sound Blaster or 100% compatible host adapter.  Up
-to four host adapters are supported for a total of 16 CD-ROM drives.
-The audio functions are supported with the Karoke variable speed
-playback.

-
-
-Adaptec 2742/2842/2940 SCSI driver
------------------------------
-The original 274x/284x driver has evolved considerably since the 2.0
-release.  We now offer full support for the 2940 series as well as the
-Wide models of these cards.  The arbitration bug (as well as many
-others) that caused the driver problems with fast devices has been
-corrected and there is even experimental tagged queuing support
-(kernel option "AHC_TAGENABLE").  John Aycock has also released the
-sequencer code under a "Berkeley style" copyright making the driver
-entirely clean of the GPL.

-1.2 Experimental features
----------------------------------------------
-
-The unionfs and LFS file systems are known to be severely broken in
-2.0.5.  This is in part due to old bugs that we haven't had time to
-resolve yet and the need to update these file systems to deal with the
-new VM system.  We hope to address these issues in a later release of
-FreeBSD.
-
-FreeBSD now supports running iBCS2 compatible binaries (currently SCO
-UNIX 3.2.2 & 3.2.4 and ISC 2.2 COFF format are supported).  The iBCS2
-emulator is in its early stages, but it is functional, we haven't been
-able to do exhaustive testing (lack of commercial apps), but almost
-all of SCO's 3.2.2 binaries are working, so is an old INFORMIX-2.10
-for SCO. Further testing is necessary to complete this project. There
-is also work under way for ELF & XOUT loaders, and most of the svr4
-syscall wrappers have been written.

-FreeBSD currently runs on a wide variety of ISA, VLB, EISA 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.
-
-Following is a list of all disk controllers and ethernet cards currently
-known to work with FreeBSD.  Other configurations may very well work, and
-we have simply not received any indication of this.
-
-
-2.1. Disk Controllers
-
-WD1003 (any generic MFM/RLL)
-WD1007 (any generic IDE/ESDI)
-WD7000
-IDE
-ATA
-
-Adaptec 152x series ISA SCSI controllers
-Adaptec 154x series ISA SCSI controllers
-Adaptec 174x series EISA SCSI controller in standard and enhanced mode.
-Adaptec 274X/284X/2940 (Narrow/Wide/Twin) series ISA/EISA/PCI SCSI controllers
-Adaptec AIC-6260 and AIC-6360 based boards, which includes
-the AHA-152x and SoundBlaster SCSI cards.
-
-** Note: You cannot boot from the SoundBlaster cards
-as they have no on-board BIOS, which is necessary for mapping
-the boot device into the system BIOS I/O vectors.
-They're perfectly usable for external tapes, CDROMs, etc,
-however.  The same goes for any other AIC-6x60 based card
-without a boot ROM.  Some systems DO have a boot ROM, which
-is generally indicated by some sort of message when the system
-is first powered up or reset.  Check your system/board documentation
-for more details.
-
-[Note that Buslogic was formerly known as "Bustec"]
-Buslogic 545S & 545c
-Buslogic 445S/445c VLB SCSI controller
-Buslogic 742A, 747S, 747c EISA SCSI controller.
-Buslogic 946c PCI SCSI controller
-Buslogic 956c PCI SCSI controller
-
-NCR 53C810 and 53C825 PCI SCSI controller.
-NCR5380/NCR53400 ("ProAudio Spectrum") SCSI controller. 
-
-DTC 3290 EISA SCSI controller in 1542 emulation mode.
-
-UltraStor 14F, 24F and 34F SCSI controllers.
-
-Seagate ST01/02 SCSI controllers.
-
-Future Domain 8xx/950 series SCSI controllers.
-
-With all supported SCSI controllers, full support is provided for
-SCSI-I & SCSI-II peripherals, including Disks, tape drives (including
-DAT) and CD ROM drives.
-The following CD-ROM type systems are supported at this time:
-(cd)    SCSI (also includes ProAudio Spectrum and SoundBlaster SCSI)
-(mcd)   Mitsumi proprietary interface 
-(matcd) Matsushita/Panasonic (Creative) proprietary interface
-(scd)   Sony proprietary interface
-
-Note: CD-Drives with IDE interfaces are not supported at this time.
-
-Some controllers have limitations with the way they deal with >16MB of
-memory, due to the fact that the ISA bus only has a DMA address space
-of 24 bits.  If you do your arithmetic, you'll see that this makes it
-impossible to do direct DMA to any address >16MB.  This limitation is
-even true of some EISA controllers (which are normally 32 bit) when
-they're configured to emulate an ISA card, which they then do in *all*
-respects.  This problem is avoided entirely by IDE controllers (which
-do not use DMA), true EISA controllers (like the UltraStor, Adaptec
-1742A or Adaptec 2742) and most VLB (local bus) controllers.  In the
-cases where it's necessary, the system will use "bounce buffers" to
-talk to the controller so that you can still use more than 16Mb of
-memory without difficulty.
-
-
-2.2. Ethernet cards
-
-SMC Elite 16 WD8013 ethernet interface, and most other WD8003E,
-WD8003EBT, WD8003W, WD8013W, WD8003S, WD8003SBT and WD8013EBT
-based clones.  SMC Elite Ultra is also supported.
-
-DEC EtherWORKS III NICs (DE203, DE204, and DE205)
-DEC EtherWORKS II NICs (DE200, DE201, DE202, and DE422)
-DEC DC21140 based NICs (SMC???? DE???)
-DEC FDDI (DEFPA/DEFEA) NICs
-
-Fujitsu MB86960A family of NICs
-
-Intel EtherExpress
-
-Isolan AT 4141-0 (16 bit)
-Isolink 4110     (8 bit)
-
-Novell NE1000, NE2000, and NE2100 ethernet interface.

-as the situation develops.
-
-
-3. Obtaining FreeBSD.
----------------------
-
-You may obtain FreeBSD in a variety of ways:
-
-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 nearest site
-to you netwise.
-
-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@decwrl.dec.com' - putting the keyword "help" in your message
-to get more information on how to fetch files from freebsd.cdrom.com.
-Note: This approach will end up sending many *tens of megabytes*
-through the mail, and should only be employed as an absolute LAST
-resort!
-
-
-2. CDROM
-
-FreeBSD 2.0.5 may be ordered on CDROM from:
-
-        Walnut Creek CDROM
-        4041 Pike Lane, Suite D
-        Concord CA  94520
-        1-800-786-9907, +1-510-674-0783, +1-510-674-0821 (fax)
-
-Or via the internet from orders@cdrom.com or http://www.cdrom.com.
-Their current catalog can be obtained via ftp as:
-        ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/cdrom/catalog.
-
-Cost is $39.95.  Shipping (per order not per disc) is $5 in the US,
-Canada, or Mexico and $10.00 overseas.  They accept Visa, Mastercard,
-American Express, 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.
-
-
-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.  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.
-
-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:
-
-                bugs@FreeBSD.org
-
-
-Otherwise, for any questions or suggestions, please send mail to:
-
-                questions@FreeBSD.org
-
-Additionally, being a volunteer effort, we are always happy to have
-extra hands willing to help - there are already far more enhancements
-to be done than we can ever manage to do by ourselves!  To contact us
-on technical matters, or with offers of help, you may send mail to:
-
-                hackers@FreeBSD.org
-
-Since these mailing lists can experience significant amounts of
-traffic, if you have slow or expensive mail access and you are
-only interested in keeping up with significant FreeBSD events, you may
-find it preferable to subscribe to:
-
-                announce@FreeBSD.org
-
-
-All but the freebsd-bugs groups 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!

-Subject: For those that didn't see this in announce - 2.0 ALPHA is released!
-Date: Thu, 10 Nov 1994 01:31:42 -0800
-From: "Jordan K. Hubbard" <jkh@freefall.cdrom.com>

- -

The FreeBSD Project team is very pleased to announce their release of -FreeBSD 2.0 ALPHA; a full 32 bit 4.4 BSD Lite based operating system -for Intel PCs (i386, i486 and Pentium class).

- -

Since our first release of FreeBSD 1.0 some 18 months ago, FreeBSD has -changed almost entirely. A new port from the Berkeley 4.4 code base -was done, which brought the legal status of the system out of the -shadows with the blessing of Novell (new owners of USL and UNIX). The -port to 4.4 also brought in a host of new features, filesystems and -enhanced driver support. With our new unencumbered code base, we have -every reason to hope that we'll be able to release quality operating -systems without further legal encumbrance for some time to come!

- -

FreeBSD 2.0 represents the culmination of almost 2 years of work and -many thousands of man hours put in by an international development -team. We hope you enjoy it!

- -

FreeBSD 2.0 ALPHA also features an advanced installation that enables -one to install from tape, CD, SLIP or ethernet (NFS or FTP). FreeBSD -2.0 BETA, planned for the 2nd week of November, will also support -installation from floppy or DOS partition (sorry, it didn't quite make -the ALPHA!) and offer even more "plug-n-play" features for editing -disklabels and such. This is, nonetheless, our easiest to use -installation yet, and we hope that with your feedback and suggestions, -our final 2.0 Release version will be even nicer still!

- -

For more information on what's new with FreeBSD, or what general -features it offers, we strongly suggest that you simply download our -boot floppy and boot from it. You can easily read the release notes -on it using a simple menu, and with no danger to the contents of your -hard disk (unless you deliberately chose "proceed with installation", -in which case your fate is in your own hands! :-).

- -

Those truly wishing to wait for the final release version of 2.0 are, -of course, encouraged to do so, but I think that many of you will find -this to be our most polished "ALPHA" release yet! Give it a try! An -upgrade path from ALPHA->RELEASE will also be provided, and we do NOT -plan any major changes between now and the final release in December. -We generally try to err on the side of conservatism in our releases, -and the 2.0 release cycle is no exception. Those wishing to obtain -2.0 on CDROM will have to wait until the 2.0 Release date, at which -point it will be made available by Walnut Creek CDROM (info@cdrom.com) -and other CDROM publishers.

- -

If you're currently running 1.x and are looking for an upgrade path, -we're sorry to say that only full installations are supported at this -time. Simply back up your password and user files before reinstalling -from the 2.0 media, then bring them back. If public demand is high -enough, and we can figure out a way of easily doing it, we'll offer -something, but it should be understood that the differences between -1.x and 2.0 are large, and it's not certain that we'll be able to do -it at all.

- -

Those unable or unwilling to download the boot floppy may also get the -release notes by mail - send mail to <info@FreeBSD.org> for an -automated reply. Updated information will also be provided on a more -or less continuous basis in our WEB pages

- -

FreeBSD 2.0A is available for ftp in ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.0-ALPHA/

- -

It will also, no doubt, be available on a number of mirror sites as -soon as they pick it up. However, ftp.freebsd.org is on a T3 line and -supports 300 simultaneous users (it's a FreeBSD machine :-), so it's -unlikely that you'll have too much trouble getting it from this site -until the mirrors do so.

- -

If you are directly Internet connected, it is also NOT necessary to -load the bindist from this site! Simply download the 2 boot floppies, -begin the installation, and select the FTP installation method - it -will do the rest for you, transparently.

- -

Finally, we'd like to publically thank Walnut Creek CDROM, without whos -continuing support and extreme generousity, we'd probably be long -gone! They've been of immense help to us. Thank you, Walnut -Creek CDROM!

- -

Thanks must also go to Poul-Henning Kamp, our fearless and long -suffering release engineer for 2.0. While all of us have sacrificed -much sleep to the cause, he has a new wife but has somehow managed to -do so as well! :-)

- -

And to all of our users (this is probably starting to sound like the -academy awards :-), a similar thank you! We couldn't have done it -without your constant flow of commentary, patches, donations of code -and moral support. As corny as it sounds, we do it all for you folks! -[Though the ego gratification is nice too :-)]

- -

Thanks to all, and we sincerely hope you enjoy this release!

- -

Comments, as always, to hackers@FreeBSD.org.
