Gestern hat Ken Smith die erste Beta-Version des kommenden FreeBSD 7.3 angekündigt. Da FreeBSD 7.3 in erster Linie ein reines Service-Release ohne nennenswerte neue Funktionen ist, ist nur diese eine Beta geplant, auf welche zwei Release Candidates folgen sollen.
Entsprechend hält sich die neue Funktionalität in engen Grenzen, sie beschränkt sich in erster Linie auf neue Versionen von Treibern und als einzige größere Änderung eine Aktualisierung von ZFS auf Version 13. Zu beachten ist jedoch, dass diese aus technischen Gründen nicht die Stabilität des ZFS in FreeBSD 8.0 erreichen kann. Hinzu kommen Änderungen am Kernel, welche nVidias proprietären Treiber unter FreeBSD/amd64 ermöglichen.

----------------------------------------
7.3-BETA1, the first test build of the 7.3-RELEASE cycle, is now
available for amd64, i386, pc98, and sparc64 architectures. The target
schedule along with the current status of the release is available here:
http://wiki.freebsd.org/Releng/7.3TODO
For now we plan on BETA1 being followed by two Release Candidates, then
the release itself. If you notice problems you can report them through
the normal Gnats PR system or on the freebsd-stable mailing list.
ISO images for the architectures listed above are available on the FTP
mirror sites. For this BETA build no packages were included on any of
the ISO images. An initial pass at providing packages will be done for
the first Release Candidate.
If you are using csup/cvsup methods to update an older system the branch
tag to use is RELENG_7.
The freebsd-update(8) utility supports binary upgrades of i386 and amd64
systems running earlier FreeBSD releases. Systems running 7.1-RELEASE
or 7.2-RELEASE can upgrade as follows:
# freebsd-update upgrade -r 7.3-BETA1
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, and the system needs to be rebooted again:
# freebsd-update install
# shutdown -r now
Users of earlier FreeBSD releases (FreeBSD 6.x) can also use
freebsd-update to upgrade to FreeBSD 7.3-BETA1, but will be prompted to
rebuild all third-party applications (e.g., anything installed from the
ports tree) after the second invocation of "freebsd-update install", in
order to handle differences in the system libraries between FreeBSD 6.x
and FreeBSD 7.x.
