FreeBSD 5-3-BETA7 ist erschienen. Dies soll die letzte Beta Version vor dem 5.3-RELEASE sein und damit das letzte Beta bevor die 5.x Reihe (endlich) als STABLE deklariert wird. Als eine der größten Änderungen soll die Umstellung auf BIND 9.3 erwähnt sein, welches per default nun "chrooted" läuft.
Anbei die genauen Infos in der Mail von Scott Long.
The FreeBSD Release Engineering Team is proud to announce the
availability of FreeBSD 5.3-BETA7. This is the seventh and final
BETA of the 5.3 release cycle. It is intended for early adopters and
those wishing to help find and/or fix bugs. The 5.3 release cycle will
follow on next with an RC1 release candidate unless significant show-
stopper bugs are found. The schedule can be found at
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.3R/schedule.html. Be sure to check
the "Known Issues" below as there are known problems that are still
being worked on at this time.
IMPORTANT:
BIND 9.3.0 has replaced BIND 8.x as the default name server.
IMPORTANT:
Several libraries have had their version numbers bumped in order to
maintain FreeBSD 4.x compatibility. Any programs that rely on these
libraries should be rebuilt. The /etc/libmap.conf facility can be
used to help this migration. In particular, libm.so.2 should be
mapped to libm.so.3 while the migration is in progress. The libraries
that changed are:
libm.so.2 -> libm.so.3
libhistory.so.4 -> libhistory.so.5
libopie.so.2 -> libopie.so.3
libpcap.so.2 -> libpcap.so.3
libreadline.so.4 -> libreadline.so.5
Other fixes and enhancements made since BETA6:
- Fix timekeeping on sparc64 and alpha that would result in the day of
the week being stored incorrectly in NVRAM.
- Add support to the fxp driver for the ICH6 chipset.
- Fix the panic on detach problem with USB hubs.
- Import BIND 9.3.0. This completely replaces the old BIND 8.x
nameserver in the base system. Many thanks to Dag-Erling Smørgrav,
Tom Rhodes, Doug Barton, and Ruslan Ermilov for making this happen.
- Fix panic when allocating swap on a busy system.
- Fix loader crash when using the 'lsdev' command.
- Many more GBDE, ggate, gmirror, and gstripe fixes.
- Fix the '-s' option in newfs to handle large filesystems.
- Fix a resource allocation problem with the floppy driver that would
result in long delays during boot.
- Add support for the Broadcom 5750/5751 chips to the bge driver.
- Allow 'sh' to handle unsetting of undefined variables.
- Fix several locking problems in PF.
- Many fixes to the ATA driver to make it more robust.
- Many locking fixes for the re driver.
- Work around a panic on sparc64 SMP systems when under heavy load.
- Fix handling of non-existent devices at boot for getty.
- Disable Synaptics touchpad support in the psm driver as it was
causing many problem reports.
- Fix the em driver to not wedge when under heavy transmit load.
- Fix KAME IPSEC and FAST IPSEC.
- Fix the pst driver to not panic on boot when INVARIANTS is defined.
Known issues in this release:
- There are known data corruption issues with gvinum. Fixes are
being tested now.
- There are reports of packet corruption with the nge driver when
the network stack is run without the Giant mutex. A fix is
being tested.
Availability:
For people wishing to upgrade older systems using cvsup(1) and the
procedure described in src/UPDATING the CVS tag to use is RELENG_5
at this point. Note that like all RELENG_X branches this is an
active development branch. We do not recommend those branches for
normal use (for normal use RELENG_X_Y branches are more appropriate,
e.g. RELENG_4_10 is the current stable branch).
As of this writing the following are available on ftp.freebsd.org
along with some of the mirror sites:
alpha: all images available
amd64: all images available
i386: all images available
ia64: miniinst available
pc98: miniinst available
sparc64: all images except disc1 available (new package sets
still being built, disc1 may be made available later)
MD5s for the builds that are complete at this time are:
