The FreeBSD Release Engineering Team is pleased to announce the + availability of FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE. This release starts off the + new 8-STABLE branch which improves on the functionality of FreeBSD + 7.X and introduces many new features. Some of the highlights:

+ + + +

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:

+ + + + +

Dedication

+ +

The FreeBSD Project dedicates this release to the memories of + Jean-Marc Zucconi (jmz@) and John Birrell (jb@) who passed away in + May and November of 2009 respectively. Jean-Marc and John were + both FreeBSD committers since the mid-1990s and made extensive + contributions to the operating system. They will be missed.

+ +

Availability

+ +

FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE is now available for the amd64, i386, ia64, + pc98, powerpc, and sparc64 architectures.

+ +

FreeBSD 8.0 can be installed from bootable ISO images or over the + network. Some architectures (currently amd64 and i386) 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 and memory stick images + are included at the bottom of this message.

+ +

The purpose of the images provided as part of the release are as + follows:

+ +
+
dvd1
+ +

This contains everything necessary to install the base + FreeBSD operating system, a collection of pre-built packages, + and the documentation. 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.

+ +
disc1
+ +

This contains the base FreeBSD operating system and the + documentation packages for CDROM-sized media. There are no + other packages.

+ +
livefs
+ +

This contains support for booting into a "livefs" based + rescue mode but does not support doing an install from the CD + itself. It is meant to help rescue an existing system but + could be used to do a network based install if + necessary.

+ +
bootonly
+ +

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.

+ +
memstick
+ +

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. The documentation packages are provided but no other + 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:

+ + 
# dd if=8.0-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img of=/dev/da0 bs=10240 conv=sync
+ +

Be careful to make sure you get the target (of=) correct.

+
+ +

FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE can also be purchased on CD-ROM or DVD from + several vendors. One of the vendors that will be offering FreeBSD + 8.0-based products is:

+ + + +

BitTorrent

+ +

8.0-RELEASE ISOs are available via BitTorrent. A collection of + torrent files to download the images is available at:

+ + + +

FTP

+ +

At the time of this announcement the following FTP sites have + FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE available.

+ + + +

However before trying these sites please check your regional + mirror(s) first by going to:

+ + + +

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, please see Chapter 2 of + The FreeBSD Handbook. It provides a complete installation + walk-through for users new to FreeBSD, and can be found online + at:

+ + + +

Updates from Source

+ +

The procedure for doing a source code based update is described in the + FreeBSD Handbook:

+ + + +

The branch tag to use for updating the source is RELENG_8_0.

+ +

FreeBSD Update

+ +

The freebsd-update(8) utility supports binary upgrades of i386 + and amd64 systems running earlier FreeBSD releases. Systems + running 7.[012]-RELEASE, 8.0-BETA[1234], or 8.0-RC[123] can + upgrade as follows:

+ + 
# freebsd-update upgrade -r 8.0-RELEASE
+ +

During this process, FreeBSD Update may ask the user to help by + merging some configuration files or by confirming that the + automatically performed merging was done correctly.

+ + 
# freebsd-update install
+ +

The system must be rebooted with the newly installed kernel + before continuing.

+ + 
# shutdown -r now
+ +

After rebooting, freebsd-update needs to be run again to install + the new userland components:

+ + 
# freebsd-update install
+ +

At this point, users of systems being upgraded from FreeBSD + 8.0-BETA2 or earlier will be prompted by freebsd-update to rebuild + all third-party applications (e.g., ports installed from the ports + tree) due to updates in system libraries. See:

+ + + +

for more details. After updating installed third-party + applications (and again, only if freebsd-update printed a message + indicating that this was necessary), run freebsd-update again so + that it can delete the old (no longer used) system libraries:

+ + 
# freebsd-update install
+ +

Finally, reboot into 8.0-RELEASE:

+ + 
# shutdown -r now
+ +

Support

+ +

The FreeBSD Security Team currently plans to support FreeBSD 8.0 until + November 30th, 2010. For more information on the Security Team and + their support of the various FreeBSD branches see:
