FreeBSD 5.2 Released

Posted by: Jim on: 01/12/2004 04:22 PM [ Print | 8 comment(s) ]

I noticed by way of Slashdot that FreeBSD 5.2 has been released and is available on several mirrors.

The Release notes are over here. HEMI is our FreeBSD guru and he didn't even hook me up with this information. I wonder what I pay him for! :)

Probably cause it's not officially out yet. :) The release docs are there, mirrors are updating and other things are being done for the release, but there's no official release announcements yet. The [url="http://www.freebsd.org"]site[/url] still says the latest is 5.1.

There's been problems in the past with someone from slashdot jumping the gun and saying a -RELEASE is out when it isn't. People download the images and have got bad code in the past because release engineering decided to make some last-minute updates to fix a few final problems, etc. before sending the release announcement.

Until there's a release announcement, it's not official. Don't get bit by grabbing -RELEASEs before they are announced.

Subject: [FreeBSD-Announce] FreeBSD 5.2 Released!

It is once again my great privilege and pleasure to announce the
availability of FreeBSD 5.2-RELEASE. Building upon the success of
FreeBSD 5.1, this release includes:

- Full Tier-1 support for single and multiprocessor AMD Athlon64 and
Opteron systems.
- Dynamically linked root partition for a smaller installation footprint
and better integration with the Name Service Switch subsystem.
- New and improved driver support for IDE, SATA, and 802.11a/b/g devices,
and significantly better integration with the ACPI power management
subsystem.
- Client support for the Network File System version 4 protocol.
- Experimental first-stage support for multithreaded filtering and
forwarding of IP traffic. This also provides the foundation for a
fully multi-threaded network stack in the next release of FreeBSD.
- In-box support for the latest Gnome 2.4 and KDE 3.1 desktops.

I truncated the message to not waste space. Now it's official. :) Chances are good the early-grabbers are fine since they didn't make any announcements about having to rebuild images for any reason.

multithreaded network stack eh? does that mean smp servers will be able to handle much more of a load?

well, it seems that 5.2 does not like either me, or my system. I'll get everything installed, then when I want to startx xwindows the system hangs... maybe it'll work out in a few months, I mean it was beta just yesterday morning. Anyways, im back to 5.1 now.
