> It is my privilege and pleasure to announce the availability of FreeBSD
> 5.0-RELEASE. The culmination of nearly three years of work, this
> release starts FreeBSD on the path of advanced multiprocessor and
> application thread support and introduces support for the sparc64 and
> ia64 platforms. Among the long list of new and improved features:
>
> - UFS2, the second generation UFS filesystem, shatters the current 1TB
> filesystem barrier.
> - Background filesystem checking (bgfsck) and filesystem snapshots
> eliminate the need for downtime to do filesystem repair and backup
> tasks.
> - Experimental support for Mandatory Access Controls (MAC) provide
> an extensible and flexible means for administrators to define system
> security policies.
> - Fine-grained locking in the kernel paves the road for much higher
> efficiency of multi-processor systems.
> - Support for Bluetooth, ACPI, CardBus, IEEE 1394, and experimental
> hardware crypto acceleration keeps FreeBSD at the forefront of new
> technology.
> - The GCC 3.2.1 compiler provides the latest installment of the
> ever-improving GNU Compiler Collection.
> - GEOM, the extensible and flexible storage framework, and DEVFS,
> the device virtual filesystem, simplify storage and device
> management while opening the door for new enterprise storage
> technologies.
> - Support for the sparc64 and ia64 platforms expands FreeBSD's
> support of advanced 64-bit computing platforms.
>
> Although FreeBSD 5.0 contains a number of new and exciting features, it
> may not be suitable for all users. More conservative users may prefer
> to continue using FreeBSD 4.X. Information on the various trade-offs
> involved, as well as some notes on future plans for both FreeBSD 4.X
> and 5.X, can be found in the Early Adopter's Guide, available here:
