>   A Developer Preview release of FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT is now available
> for widespread testing.  This preview is a significant milestone
> towards the eventual release of FreeBSD 5.0 in late 2002.  Some of the
> many new features that are available in this snapshot are listed
> below:
>
>     * SMP support has been largely reworked, incorporating code from
>       BSD/OS 5.0 (in progress).
>
>     * The random(4) device has been rewritten to use the Yarrow
>       algorithm.  It harvests entropy from a variety of interrupt
>       sources (hardware devices) to provide the entropy required by
>       strong cryptography.
>
>     * Support for 32-bit Cardbus devices has been added for mobile
>       computers (NEWCARD).
>
>     * Significant security enhancements have been made throughout the
>       system, including a reworked PAM implementation, ACLs, and fewer
>       privileged programs in the base system.
>
>     * An implementation of scheduler activations has been added to
>       the kernel to more efficiently handle multi-threaded
>       programs. (in progress).
>
>     * A device filesystem has been added to allow entries in the /dev
>       directory to be automatically attached.  Among other benefits,
>       devfs provides better support for attaching and detaching
>       peripheral devices.
>
>     * Support for the sparc64 architecture, including most modern
>       workstations and entry level servers from Sun Microsystems (and
>       possibly clones from Tatung, and others).
>
>     * FFS snapshots and background fsck(8).

>   This is a development snapshot, and may include serious software

> by default, so the poor performance of this snapshot should not set
> expectations for the final release of 5.0.

>   That said, we have done our best to provide a stable system for
> developers and power-users to help test the new functionality in 5.0.

> Acknowledgments
> ---------------
>
>   Finally, we would like to thank the developers, users, and companies
> that continue to make FreeBSD releases possible.
>
>   Many companies donated equipment, network access, or man-hours to
> finance our ongoing release engineering activities, including Compaq,
> Yahoo!, and The FreeBSD Mall.
>
>   I couldn't possibly list all of the people that have helped make 5.0
> DP1 a reality, but the following people deserve to be singled
> out. Will Andrews, Kris Kennaway, Steve Price, and the rest of the
> Ports team did an incredible job fixing hundreds of third-party
> packages. Robert Watson and Bruce A. Mah did an excellent job writing
> up the errata file, helping to decide what changes should be made
> specifically for this DP release, and much more. Jake Burkholder acted
> not only as lead developer for the sparc64 port, but also as package
> builder and release engineer! David O'Brien helped integrate XFree86
> 4.2 into this snapshot.
>
>   Please join me in thanking them for all the hard work that went into
> polishing the FreeBSD -CURRENT development branch over the past
> month. I would also like to thank the FreeBSD Committers
> (committers em FreeBSD.org), without whom there would be nothing to
> release, and the many thousands of FreeBSD users world-wide who
> contributed bug fixes, features and suggestions.
>
>   Above all else, remember that this is a work in progress. Please
> help us find bugs now, so that 5.0-RELEASE will be that much better.
>
>    Thanks!
