FreeBSD 9.3-RC3 Now Available

Sun Jul 6 21:54:57 UTC 2014

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256

The third RC build of the 9.3-RELEASE release cycle is now available
on the FTP servers for the amd64, i386, ia64, powerpc, powerpc64 and
sparc64 architectures.

This is expected to be the final RC build of the 9.3-RELEASE cycle.

The image checksums follow at the end of this email.

ISO images and, for architectures that support it, the memory stick images
are available here:

    ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/ISO-IMAGES/9.3/

(or any of the FreeBSD mirror sites).

If you notice problems you can report them through the Bugzilla PR
system or on the -stable mailing list.

If you would like to use SVN to do a source based update of an existing
system, use the "releng/9.3" branch.

A list of changes since 9.2-RELEASE are available on the 9.3-RELEASE
release notes page here:

    http://www.freebsd.org/releases/9.3R/relnotes.html

Pre-installed virtual machine images for 9.3-RC3 are also available
for amd64 and i386 architectures.

The images are located under the 'snapshots' directory on FTP, here:

    ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/VM-IMAGES/9.3-RC3/

The disk images are available in QCOW2, VHD, VMDK, and raw disk image
formats.  The image download size is approximately 135 MB, which
decompress to a 20GB sparse image.

The partition layout is:

    . 512k - freebsd-boot GPT partition type (bootfs GPT label)
    . 1GB  - freebsd-swap GPT partition type (swapfs GPT label)
    . ~17GB - freebsd-ufs GPT partition type (rootfs GPT label)

Changes between 9.3-RC2 and 9.3-RC3 include:

    o Bug fix for axge(4) range checks and receive loop header parsing.

    o Bug fix to exclude loopback addresses rather than loopback
      interfaces has been fixed.

    o Bug fix in uhso(4) to prevent memory use after free() and
      mtx_destroy().

    o Bug fix in bsdinstall(8) where certain conditions could prevent
      directory creation before use.

    o Bug fix for DNS-based load balancing.

    o Vendor update to oce(4).

The freebsd-update(8) utility supports binary upgrades of amd64 and i386
systems running earlier FreeBSD releases.  Systems running earlier
FreeBSD releases can upgrade as follows:

	# freebsd-update upgrade -r 9.3-RC3

During this process, freebsd-update(8) may ask the user to help by
merging some configuration files or by confirming that the automatically
performed merging was done correctly.

	# freebsd-update install

The system must be rebooted with the newly installed kernel before
continuing.

	# shutdown -r now

After rebooting, freebsd-update needs to be run again to install the new
userland components:

	# freebsd-update install

It is recommended to rebuild and install all applications if possible,
especially if upgrading from an earlier FreeBSD release, for example,
FreeBSD 8.x.  Alternatively, the user can install misc/compat8x and
other compatibility libraries, afterwards the system must be rebooted
into the new userland:

	# shutdown -r now

Finally, after rebooting, freebsd-update needs to be run again to remove
stale files:

	# freebsd-update install
