<b>Subject:</b> [FreeBSD-Announce] FreeBSD 5.2.1 Released!</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
It is once again my great privilege and pleasure to announce the
|
||||
availability of FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE. This is a 'point release'
|
||||
and is intended to address several bugs and vulnerabilities discovered
|
||||
in the FreeBSD 5.2 release. These include:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Significantly improved ATA/IDE and SATA handling. Problems with
|
||||
timeouts, error recovery, and certain master/slave configurations
|
||||
have been largely addressed.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>The <tt>kdeadmin3</tt> package has been updated to fix the
|
||||
password database corruption found with the KUser tool.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>Third-party NSS modules can now support groups with many
|
||||
users.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>Multicast and promiscuous modes have been fixed in the 'sk'
|
||||
Ethernet driver, allowing it to operate in a DHCP
|
||||
environment.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>Latest updates to the XFree86 4.3 server to protect against
|
||||
several published security vulnerabilities.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
FreeBSD 5.2.1 also contains a number of significant stability and
|
||||
performance improvements over FreeBSD 5.2. However, it is still
|
||||
considered a 'New Technology' release and might not be suitable for
|
||||
all users. Users with more conservative needs may prefer to continue
|
||||
using FreeBSD 4.X. Information on the various trade-offs involved, as
|
||||
well as some notes on future plans for both FreeBSD 4.X and 5.X, can
|
||||
be found in the Early Adopter's Guide, available here:

<p><b>Availability</b><p>

<p>
|
||||
FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE supports the i386, pc98, alpha, sparc64, amd64, and
|
||||
ia64 architectures and can be installed directly over the net using the
|
||||
boot floppies or copied to a local NFS/FTP server. Distributions for
|
||||
all architectures are available now.

|
||||
Please continue to support the FreeBSD Project by purchasing media

If you can't afford FreeBSD on media, are impatient, or just want to
|
||||
use it for evangelism purposes, then by all means download the ISO
|
||||
images. We can't promise that all the mirror sites will carry the
|
||||
larger ISO images, but they will at least be available from:
