Hi,

it is my pleasure to announce that the third release candidate for NetBSD
3.1 has been released.  Binaries and ISO's are available on the following
URL:

ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-3-1-RC3/200609170000Z/

or one of the releng mirrors: http://www.netbsd.org/mirrors/#ftp-releng

For those who want to build NetBSD 3.1_RC3 from source, the CVS tag is
"netbsd-3-1-RC3".  Alternatively, you can download source sets from the
above URL, under the source/ directory.

As usual, you can find an overview of major changes since the NetBSD 3.0
release in the INSTALL.* documents in each architecture's directory.  A
complete list of all changes can be found in the CHANGES-3.1 file.

Improvements since the second release candidate include:
+ fixed recent security issues with BIND, OpenSSL and X11 font handling
+ added "xm shutdown" support for Xen3 domU's
+ honor the user's umask when creating UNIX domain sockets
+ fixed some Xen timing and clock issues
+ fixed serial console on the second serial port of sparc64 machines
+ fixed DHCP in sysinst on 64-bit archs

We anticipate this to be the final release candidate for the NetBSD
3.1 release, so, if no serious problems arise, we expect NetBSD 3.1
to be released on October 2.

Thanks again for your patience and your help for making NetBSD 3.1 a
good release!

	Geert
