> Introduction
>
>    The  NetBSD  Project  is  pleased  to announce that release 4.0 of the
>    NetBSD  operating  system  is now available. NetBSD is a free, secure,
>    and  highly  portable Unix-like Open Source operating system available
>    for  many  platforms, from 64-bit Opteron machines and desktop systems
>    to  handheld  and  embedded  devices.  Its  clean  design and advanced
>    features   make   it   excellent   in  both  production  and  research
>    environments,  and  it  is  user-supported  with complete source. Many
>    applications  are easily available through pkgsrc, the NetBSD Packages
>    Collection.
>
>    Major  achievements in NetBSD 4.0 include support for version 3 of the
>    Xen  virtual  machine  monitor, Bluetooth, many new device drivers and
>    embedded  platforms  based  on ARM, PowerPC and MIPS CPUs. New network
>    services  include  iSCSI target (server) code and an implementation of
>    the  Common  Address  Redundancy  Protocol.  Also, system security was
>    further  enhanced  with  restrictions  of  mprotect(2)  to enforce W^X
>    policies,  the Kernel Authorization framework, and improvements of the
>    Veriexec  file  integrity  subsystem,  which can be used to harden the
>    system  against trojan horses and virus attacks. Please read below for
>    a list of changes in NetBSD 4.0.
>
>    NetBSD  4.0  runs  on  54  different system architectures featuring 17
>    machine  architectures  across  17 distinct CPU families, and is being
>    ported  to  more.  The  NetBSD  4.0  release  contains complete binary
>    releases  for 51 different machine types, with the platforms amigappc,
>    bebox  and  ews4800mips  released in source form only. Complete source
>    and  binaries  for NetBSD 4.0 are available for download at many sites
>    around  the  world.  A  list of download sites providing FTP, AnonCVS,
>    SUP,  and  other services is provided at the end of this announcement;
>    the  latest  list  of  available  download  sites may also be found at
>    http://www.NetBSD.org/mirrors/. We encourage users who wish to install
>    via a CD-ROM ISO image to download via BitTorrent by using the torrent
>    files  supplied in the ISO image area. A list of hashes for the NetBSD
>    4.0  distribution  has been signed with the well-connected PGP key for
>    the NetBSD Security Officer:

>    NetBSD is free. All of the code is under non-restrictive licenses, and
>    may  be used without paying royalties to anyone. Free support services
>    are available via our mailing lists and website. Commercial support is
>    available   from   a   variety   of   sources;   some  are  listed  at
>    http://www.NetBSD.org/gallery/consultants.html.     More     extensive
>    information on NetBSD is available from our website:

> Dedication
>
>    NetBSD  4.0  is dedicated to the memory of Jun-Ichiro "itojun" Hagino,
>    who  died  in  October  2007. Itojun was a member of the KAME project,
>    which  provided  IPv6  and  IPsec support; he was also a member of the
>    NetBSD  core  team (the technical management for the project), and one
>    of  the  Security  Officers.  Due  to Itojun's efforts, NetBSD was the
>    first  open  source  operating  system  with  a  production ready IPv6
>    networking  stack,  which  was included in the base system before many
>    people  knew  what  IPv6 was. We are grateful to have known and worked
>    with  Itojun,  and  we  know  that  he will be missed. This release is
>    therefore dedicated, with thanks, to his memory.
