Announcement
------------
The FreeBSD Release Engineering Team is pleased to announce the
availability of FreeBSD 6.0-BETA1, which marks the beginning of the
FreeBSD 6.0 Release Cycle.
FreeBSD 6.0 will be a much less dramatic step from the FreeBSD 5 branch
than the FreeBSD 5 branch was from FreeBSD 4. Much of the work that has
gone into 6.0 development has focused on polishing and improving the
work from 5.x These changes include streamlining direct device access
in the kernel, providing a multi-threaded SMP-safe UFS/VFS filesystem
layer, implementing WPA and Host-AP 802.11 features, as well as
countless bugfixes and device driver improvements. Major updates and
improvements have been made to ACPI power and thermal management, ATA,
and many aspects of the network infrastructure. 32bit application
support for AMD64 is also greatly improved, as is compatiblity with
certain Athlon64 motherboards. This release is also the first to
feature experimental PowerPC support for the Macintosh G3 and G4
platforms.
Can anyone direct me to more information about the new WPA and Host-AP
802.11 features?
/ Carl
