-
- <para>This document contains the release notes for &os;
- &release.current;. It describes recently added, changed, or
- deleted features of &os;. It also provides some notes on
- upgrading from previous versions of &os;.</para>
-
- <para releasetype="current">The &release.type; distribution to
- which these release notes apply represents the latest point
- along the &release.branch; development branch since
- &release.branch; was created. Information regarding pre-built,
- binary &release.type; distributions along this branch can be
- found at <uri
- xlink:href="&release.url;">&release.url;</uri>.</para>
-
- <para releasetype="snapshot">The &release.type; distribution to
- which these release notes apply represents a point along the
- &release.branch; development branch between &release.prev; and
- the future &release.next;. Information regarding pre-built,
- binary &release.type; distributions along this branch can be
- found at <uri
- xlink:href="&release.url;">&release.url;</uri>.</para>
-
- <para releasetype="release">This distribution of &os;
- &release.current; is a &release.type; distribution. It can be
- found at <uri xlink:href="&release.url;">&release.url;</uri> or
- any of its mirrors. More information on obtaining this (or
- other) &release.type; distributions of &os; can be found in the

-
- <para>All users are encouraged to consult the release errata
- before installing &os;. The errata document is updated with
- <quote>late-breaking</quote> information discovered late in the
- release cycle or after the release. Typically, it contains
- information on known bugs, security advisories, and corrections
- to documentation. An up-to-date copy of the errata for &os;
- &release.current; can be found on the &os; Web site.</para>
-
- <para>This document describes the most user-visible new or changed
- features in &os; since &release.prev;. In general, changes
- described here are unique to the &release.branch; branch unless
- specifically marked as &merged; features.</para>
-
- <para>Typical release note items document recent security
- advisories issued after &release.prev;, new drivers or hardware
- support, new commands or options, major bug fixes, or
- contributed software upgrades. They may also list changes to
- major ports/packages or release engineering practices. Clearly
- the release notes cannot list every single change made to &os;
- between releases; this document focuses primarily on security
- advisories, user-visible changes, and major architectural
- improvements.</para>

- <para arch="amd64,i386">Binary upgrades between RELEASE versions
- (and snapshots of the various security branches) are supported
- using the &man.freebsd-update.8; utility. The binary upgrade
- procedure will update unmodified userland utilities, as well as
- unmodified GENERIC kernels distributed as a part of an official
- &os; release. The &man.freebsd-update.8; utility requires that
- the host being upgraded have Internet connectivity.</para>
