---------------------------------forward-----------------------------
I am happy to announce the availability of FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE, the
latest release of the FreeBSD -STABLE development branch.  Since
FreeBSD 4.6-RELEASE in June 2002, we have updated a number of software
programs in the base system, such as GCC and sendmail.  Several new
drivers have been added for USB devices and disk controllers.  We have
also incorporated updates for XFree86 and our Linux compatibility
libraries.

FreeBSD 4.7 also incorporates all of the security and bug fixes from
4.6.2 (released in August 2002), including several ATA-related
bugfixes, updates for OpenSSL and OpenSSH, and fixes to address
several security advisories.

For a complete list of new features and known problems, please see the
release notes and errata list, available here:

Availability
- ------------

FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE supports the i386 and alpha architectures and can
be installed directly over the net using the boot floppies or copied
to a local NFS/FTP server.  Distributions for the i386 are available
now.  As of this writing, the final builds for the alpha architecture
are in progress and will be made available shortly.

Please continue to support the FreeBSD Project by purchasing media
from one of our supporting vendors.  The following companies will be
offering FreeBSD 4.7 based products:

   FreeBSD Mall, Inc.        http://www.freebsdmall.com/
   Daemonnews, Inc.          http://www.bsdmall.com/freebsd1.html

If you can't afford FreeBSD on media, are impatient, or just want to
use it for evangelism purposes, then by all means download the ISO
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/
   ftp://ftp12.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/
   ftp://ftp.tw.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/
   ftp://ftp{2,3,4,5}.jp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/
   ftp://ftp.cz.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/

   ftp://ftp.lt.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/
   ftp://ftp2.za.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/
   ftp://ftp.se.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/
   ftp://ftp{1,2,4}.ru.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/
