+ To: announce@FreeBSD.org
+ Subject: 4.2-RELEASE is now available

+ +

It is my almost excessive pleasure to announce the availability of +FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE, the very latest in 4.x-STABLE branch technology. +Following the release of FreeBSD 4.1.1 in September, 2000, many bugs +were fixed, important security issues dealt with, and a conservative +number of new features added. Please see the release notes for more +information.

+ +

4.2-RELEASE is now available for the +i386 +and +alpha +architectures right now and can be installed directly over the net using +the boot floppies or copied to a local NFS/ftp server.

+ +ISO (CD) Images
+---------------
+

We can't promise that all the mirror sites will carry the larger +ISO images, but they will at least be available from:

+ +

+ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/4.2-install.iso
and + +ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/alpha/ISO-IMAGES/4.2-install.iso

+ +

If you can't afford the CDs, are impatient, or just want to use it for +evangelism purposes, then by all means download the ISOs, otherwise please +do continue to support the FreeBSD project by purchasing one of its +official CD releases from BSDi. FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE can be ordered as a +4 CD set from The FreeBSD Mall +from where it will soon be shipping. Each CD sets contains the FreeBSD +installation and application package bits for either the x86 or the +alpha architecture (each architecture has its own CD set). For a set of +distfiles used to build ports in the ports collection, please see also the +FreeBSD Toolkit, a 6 CD set containing all such extra bits which we can no +longer fit on the 4 CD sets. You can also order by phone, postal mail, +FAX or email at:

+1. What's new since 4.1-RELEASE
+--------------------------------------
+Changes which were also present in the 4.1.1 point release will be
+marked [4.1.1].
+
+1.1. KERNEL CHANGES
+-------------------
+The tap driver, a virtual Ethernet device driver for bridged
+configurations, has been added. [4.1.1]
+
+accept_filters, a kernel feature to reduce overheads when accepting
+and reading new connections on listening sockets, has been added. [4.1.1]
+
+POSIX.1b Shared Memory Objects are now supported.  The implementation
+uses regular files, but automatically enables the MAP_NOSYNC flag
+when they are mmap(2)ed. [4.1.1]
+
+The ata(4) driver now has support for ATA100 controllers. [4.1.1]
+
+The ata(4) driver now has support for tagged queueing, which is
+enabled by the ATA_ENABLE_TAGS option.  It also supports the
+ServerWorks ROSB4 ATA33 chipset, the CMD 648 ATA66 and CMD 649 ATA100
+chipsets, and the Cyrix 5530.  It also has support for ATA "pseudo"
+RAID controllers, including the Promise Fasttrak and HighPoint HPT370
+controllers.
+
+The ti(4) driver now supports the Alteon AceNIC 1000baseT Gigabit
+Ethernet and Netgear GA620T 1000baseT Gigabit Ethernet cards. [4.1.1]
+
+The ng_bridge(4) node type has been added to the netgraph subsystem.
+Miscellaneous bug fixes and enhancements have also been made. [4.1.1]
+
+Support for Fujitsu MB86960A/MB86965A based Ethernet PC-Cards is back.
+[4.1.1]
+
+The asr(4) driver, which provides support for the Adaptec SCSI RAID
+controller family, as well as the DPT SmartRAID V and VI families, has
+been added. [4.1.1]
+
+The i386 boot loader now has support for a "nullconsole" console type,
+for use on systems with neither a video console nor a serial
+port. [4.1.1]
+
+The pcn(4) driver, which supports the AMD PCnet/FAST, PCnet/FAST+,
+PCnet/FAST III, PCnet/PRO, PCnet/Home, and HomePNA adapters, has been
+added.  Although these cards are already supported by the lnc(4)
+driver, the pcn driver runs these chips in 32-bit mode and uses the RX
+alignment feature to achieve zero-copy receive.  This driver is also
+machine-independent, so it will work on both the i386 and alpha
+platforms.  The lnc driver is still needed to support non-PCI cards.
+
+The pcm(4) driver now supports the ESS Solo 1, Maestro-1, Maestro-2,
+and Maestro-2e; Forte Media fm801, ESS Maestro-2e, and VIA Technologies
+VT82C686A sound card/chipsets, and has received some other updates.
+
+Replace the PQ_*CACHE options with a single PQ_CACHESIZE option to be
+set to the cache size in kilobytes.  The old options are still
+supported for backwards compatibility.
+
+The NCPU, NAPIC, NBUS, and NINTR kernel configuration options,
+for configuring SMP kernels, have been removed.  NCPU is now set to a 
+maximum of 16, and the other, aforementioned options are now dynamic.
+
+The ahc(4) driver has been updated.
+
+The amr(4) driver has been updated with support for new AMI
+MegaRAID models.
+
+The snc(4) driver for the National Semiconductor DP8393X (SONIC)
+Ethernet controller.  Curently, this driver is only used on the PC-98
+architecture.
+
+The ich(4) driver for the Intel 82801AA (ICH) SMBus controller and
+compatibles has been added.
+
+bktr(4) driver has been updated to 2.15.  New tuner types have been
+added, and improvememts to the KLD module and to memory allocation
+have been made. [4.1.1]  This driver subsequently was updated to 2.17,
+which fixes bugs in devfs when unloading and reloading, and syncs with
+some NetBSD changes.
+
+Default the PC Card Interface Controller(pcic) to polling mode(irq 0).
+
+The ncv(4), nsp(4), and stg(4) drivers have been ported from
+NetBSD/pc98.  They supports NCR 53C50 / Workbit Ninja SCSI-3 / TMC
+18C30, 18C50 based PC-Card/ISA SCSI controllers.
+
+The mly(4) driver, for Mylex PCI to SCSI AccelRAID and eXtremeRAID
+controllers with firmware 6.x and later, has been added.
+
+The twe(4) driver for 3ware controllers has been updated, with
+improved queueing, error handling and reporting, and user interface
+for the 3ware-supplied '3dm' monitoring tool.
+
+The uscanner(4) driver, which provides basic USB scanner support using
+SANE, has been added.  (See the SANE home page for supported
+scanners.)  The HP ScanJet 4100C, 5200C and 6300C are known to be
+working.
+
+The umodem(4) driver for USB modems has been added; it currently
+supports the 3Com 5605 USB modem.
+
+
+1.2. SECURITY FIXES
+-------------------
+
+sysinstall(8) now allows the user to select one of three "security
+profiles" at install-time.  These profiles enable different levels of
+system security by enabling or disabling various system services in
+rc.conf(5) on new installs. [4.1.1]
+
+Many string-handling library calls were fixed to reduce the
+possibility of buffer overflow-related exploits.
+
+A security hole in Linux emulation was fixed (see security advisory
+FreeBSD-SA-00:42).  [4.1.1]
+
+TCP now uses stronger randomness in choosing its initial sequence 
+numbers (see security advisory FreeBSD-SA-00:52).
+
+A bug in finger(1) that could allow remote users to view
+world-readable files has been closed (see security advisory
+FreeBSD-SA-00:54).
+
+rlogind(8), rshd(8), and fingerd(8) are now disabled by default in
+/etc/inetd.conf.  This change only affects new installations.
+
+Several buffer overflows in tcpdump(1) were corrected (see security
+advisory FreeBSD-SA-00:61).
+
+A security hole in top(1) was corrected (see security advisory
+FreeBSD-SA-00:62).
+
+A potential security hole caused by an off-by-one-error in
+gethostbyname(3) has been fixed (see security advisory
+FreeBSD-SA-00:63).
+
+A potential buffer overflow in the ncurses(3X) library, which could
+cause arbitrary code to be run from within systat(1), has been corrected
+(see security advisory FreeBSD-SA-00:68).
+
+A vulnerability in telnetd(8) that could cause it to consume large
+amounts of server resources has been fixed (see security advisory
+FreeBSD-SA-00:69).
+
+The "nat deny_incoming" command in ppp(8) now works correctly (see
+security advisory FreeBSD-SA-00:70).
+
+
+1.3. USERLAND CHANGES
+---------------------
+
+RSA Security has waived all patent rights to the RSA algorithm (two
+weeks before the patent was due to expire).  As a result, the native
+OpenSSL implementation of the RSA algorithm is now activated by
+default, and the rsaref port and librsaUSA are no longer required for
+USA residents. [4.1.1]
+ 
+sshd is now enabled by default on new installs. [4.1.1]
+ 
+Version numbers of installed packages have a new (backward-compatible)
+syntax, which supports the "PORTREVISION" and "PORTEPOCH" variables in
+ports collection makefiles.  These changes help keep track of changes
+in the ports collection entries such as security patches or
+FreeBSD-specific updates, which aren't reflected in the original,
+third-party software distributions.  pkg_version(1) can now compare
+these new-style version numbers. [4.1.1]
+
+sendmail upgraded from version 8.9.3 to version 8.11.1.  Important changes
+include: new default file locations (see /usr/src/contrib/sendmail/cf/README);
+newaliases is limited to root and trusted users; STARTTLS encryption; and
+the MSA port (587) is turned on by default.  See
+/usr/src/contrib/sendmail/RELEASE_NOTES for more information.
+
+mail.local(8) is no longer installed as a set-user-id binary.  If you
+are using a /etc/mail/sendmail.cf from the default sendmail.cf
+included with FreeBSD any time after 3.1.0, you are fine.  If you are
+using a hand-configured sendmail.cf and mail.local for delivery, check
+to make sure the F=S flag is set on the Mlocal line.  Those with .mc
+files who need to add the flag can do so by adding the following line
+to their your .mc file and regenerating the sendmail.cf file:
+    MODIFY_MAILER_FLAGS(`LOCAL', `+S')dnl
+Note that FEATURE(`local_lmtp') already does this.
+
+The default /etc/mail/sendmail.cf disables the SMTP EXPN and VRFY commands.
+
+vacation(1) has been updated to use the version included with
+sendmail.
+
+The sendmail(8) configuration building tools are installed in
+/usr/share/sendmail/cf/.
+
+OpenSSH has been upgraded to 2.2.0.  ssh-add(1) and ssh-agent(1) can
+now handle DSA keys.  An sftp server interoperable with ssh.com
+clients and others has been added.  scp(1) can now handle files >2GB.
+Interoperability with other ssh2 clients/servers has been improved.  A
+new feature to limit the number of outstanding unauthenticated ssh
+connections in sshd has been added.
+
+The compiler chain now uses the FSF-supplied C/C++ runtime
+initialization code.  This change brings about better compatibility
+with code generated from the various egcs and gcc ports, as well as
+the stock public FSF source.
+
+cvs(1) has been updated to 1.11.
+
+The threads library has gained some signal handling changes, bug
+fixes, and performance enhancements (including zero system call thread
+switching).  gdb(1) thread support has been updated to match these
+changes.
+
+GDB now supports hardware watchpoints. [4.1.1]
+
+routed(8) has been updated to version 2.22. [4.1.1]
+
+The truncate(1) utility, which truncates or extends the length of
+files, has been added. [4.1.1]
+
+syslogd(8) can take a -n option to disable DNS queries for every
+request. [4.1.1]
+
+kenv(1), a command to dump the kernel environment, has been added.
+[4.1.1]
+
+The behavior of periodic(8) is now controlled by
+/etc/defaults/periodic.conf and /etc/periodic.conf. [4.1.1]
+ 
+logger(1) can now send messages directly to a remote syslog. [4.1.1]
+ 
+OpenSSL has been upgraded to 0.9.5a, which includes numerous bugfixes
+and enhancements. [4.1.1]
+ 
+finger(1) now has the ability to support fingering aliases, via the
+finger.conf(5) file. [4.1.1]
+ 
+The xl(4) driver now supports the 3Com 3C556 and 3C556B MiniPCI
+adapters used on some laptops. [4.1.1]
+ 
+killall(1) is now a C program, rather than a Perl script.  As a
+result, killall's -m option now uses the regular expression syntax of
+regex(3), rather than that of perl(1). [4.1.1]
+
+boot98cfg(8), a PC-98 boot manager installation and configuration
+utility, has been added. [4.1.1]
+
+The ifconfig(8) command can set the link-layer address of an
+interface.  [4.1.1]
+
+setproctitle(3) has been moved from libutil to libc. [4.1.1]
+
+sed(1) now takes a -E option for extended regular expression
+support. [4.1.1]
+
+ln(1) now takes an -i option to request user configuration before
+overwriting an existing file. [4.1.1]
+
+tcpdump(1) has received some updates and bugfixes.
+
+User-land ppp(8) has received a number of updates and bugfixes.
+
+The internal procedure for building perl has changed, and no longer
+depends on (nor installs) miniperl.  Users upgrading from source
+should delete /usr/bin/miniperl.
+
+To improve performance and disk utilization, the "ports skeletons" in
+the FreeBSD Ports Collection have been restructured.  Installed ports
+and packages should not be affected.
+
+ncurses has been updated to ncurses-5.1-20001009.
+
+make(1) has gained the :C/// (regexp substitution), :L (lowercase),
+and :U (uppercase) variable modifiers.  These were added to reduce the
+differences between the FreeBSD and OpenBSD/NetBSD make programs.
+
+The "in use" percentage metric displayed by netstat(1) now really
+reflects the percentage of network mbufs used.
+
+chio(1) now has the ability to specify elements by volume tag instead
+of by their physical location as well as the ability to return an
+element to its previous location.
+
+The ISC library from the BIND distribution is now built as libisc.
+
+IP Filter is now supported by the rc.conf(5) boot-time configuration
+and initialization.
+
+
+2. Supported Configurations
+---------------------------
+FreeBSD currently runs on a wide variety of ISA, VLB, EISA, MCA and PCI
+bus based PC's, ranging from 386sx to Pentium class machines (though the
+386sx is not recommended).  Support for generic IDE drive
+configurations, various SCSI controller, network and serial cards is
+also provided.
+
+What follows is a list of all peripherals currently known to work with
+FreeBSD.  Other configurations may also work, we have simply not as yet

+3. Obtaining FreeBSD
+--------------------
+
+You may obtain FreeBSD in a variety of ways:
+
+
+3.1. FTP/Mail
+-------------
+
+You can ftp FreeBSD and any or all of its optional packages from
+`ftp.freebsd.org' - the official FreeBSD release site.
+
+For other locations that mirror the FreeBSD software see the file
+MIRROR.SITES.  Please ftp the distribution from the site closest (in
+networking terms) to you.  Additional mirror sites are always welcome!
+Contact freebsd-admin@FreeBSD.org for more details if you'd like to 
+become an official mirror site.
+
+3.2. CDROM
+----------
+
+FreeBSD 4.x-RELEASE CDs may be ordered on CDROM from:
+
+        BSDi
+        4041 Pike Lane, Suite F
+        Concord CA  94520
+        1-800-786-9907, +1-925-674-0783, +1-925-674-0821 (FAX)
+
+Or via the Internet from orders@osd.bsdi.com or http://www.freebsdmall.com.
+
+Cost per -RELEASE CD is $39.95 or $24.95 with a FreeBSD subscription.
+FreeBSD SNAPshot CDs, when available, are $39.95 or $14.95 with a
+FreeBSD-SNAP subscription (-RELEASE and -SNAP subscriptions are entirely
+separate).  With a subscription, you will automatically receive updates as
+they are released.  Your credit card will be billed when each disk is
+shipped and you may cancel your subscription at any time without further
+obligation.
+
+Shipping (per order not per disc) is $5 in the US, Canada or Mexico
+and $9.00 overseas.  They accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American
+Express or checks in U.S. Dollars and ship COD within the United
+States.  California residents please add 8.25% sales tax.
+
+Should you be dissatisfied for any reason, the CD comes with an
+unconditional return policy.
+
+
+4. Upgrading from previous releases of FreeBSD
+----------------------------------------------
+
+If you're upgrading from a previous release of FreeBSD, most likely
+it's 3.0 and there may be some issues affecting you, depending
+of course on your chosen method of upgrading.  There are two popular
+ways of upgrading FreeBSD distributions:
+
+        o Using sources, via /usr/src
+        o Using sysinstall's (binary) upgrade option.
+
+Please read the UPGRADE.TXT file for more information, preferably
+before beginning an upgrade.
+
+
+5. Reporting problems, making suggestions, submitting code.
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+Your suggestions, bug reports and contributions of code are always
+valued - please do not hesitate to report any problems you may find
+(preferably with a fix attached, if you can!).
+
+The preferred method to submit bug reports from a machine with
+Internet mail connectivity is to use the send-pr command or use the CGI
+script at http://www.freebsd.org/send-pr.html.  Bug reports
+will be dutifully filed by our faithful bugfiler program and you can
+be sure that we'll do our best to respond to all reported bugs as soon
+as possible.  Bugs filed in this way are also visible on our WEB site
+in the support section and are therefore valuable both as bug reports
+and as "signposts" for other users concerning potential problems to
+watch out for.
+
+If, for some reason, you are unable to use the send-pr command to
+submit a bug report, you can try to send it to:
+
+                freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org
+
+Note that send-pr itself is a shell script that should be easy to move
+even onto a totally different system.  We much prefer if you could use
+this interface, since it make it easier to keep track of the problem
+reports.  However, before submitting, please try to make sure whether
+the problem might have already been fixed since.
+
+
+Otherwise, for any questions or tech support issues, please send mail to:
+
+                freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org
+
+
+If you're tracking the -stable development efforts, you should
+definitely join the -stable mailing list, in order to keep abreast
+of recent developments and changes that may affect the way you
+use and maintain the system:
+
+		freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.org
+
+
+Additionally, being a volunteer effort, we are always happy to have
+extra hands willing to help - there are already far more desired
+enhancements than we'll ever be able to manage by ourselves!  To
+contact us on technical matters, or with offers of help, please send
+mail to:
+
+                freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.org
+
+
+Please note that these mailing lists can experience *significant*
+amounts of traffic and if you have slow or expensive mail access and
+are only interested in keeping up with significant FreeBSD events, you
+may find it preferable to subscribe instead to:
+
+                freebsd-announce@FreeBSD.org
+
+
+All of the mailing lists can be freely joined by anyone wishing
+to do so.  Send mail to MajorDomo@FreeBSD.org and include the keyword
+`help' on a line by itself somewhere in the body of the message.  This
+will give you more information on joining the various lists, accessing
+archives, etc.  There are a number of mailing lists targeted at
+special interest groups not mentioned here, so send mail to majordomo
+and ask about them!
