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. |
