Subject: NetBSD 5.0_RC3 binaries available for download
Date: Saturday, March 21, 2009 - 4:49 pm

Today, on the 16th birthday of NetBSD, I have the pleasure of announcing

the availability of NetBSD 5.0_RC3.


Below are some highlighted changes since RC2:

- Considerable improvements to WAPBL.

- Further X.Org refinements, including switching sgimips to X.Org.

- Scheduler Activations support is now disabled by default in sysctl.conf.

- ddb.onpanic is now set to 1 in the kernel by default, but 0 in

  sysctl.conf.  This avoids trying to dump if a crash occurs during the

  install phase.

- puffs is now enabled by default on amd64, i386, macppc, and sparc64.

- SSP kernels should work again.

- A handful of assorted stability improvements.


As always, see src/doc/CHANGES-5.0 for full details.


Binaries of 5.0_RC3 are available for download at


ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-5-0-RC3/


Those of you tracking by source can either continue following the netbsd-5

branch or use the netbsd-5-0-RC3 tag.


Thanks for all the help and feedback so far.  Please keep it up!


Soren
