+
+<p>This document contains the release notes for FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE. It describes
+recently added, changed, or deleted features of FreeBSD. It also provides some notes on
+upgrading from previous versions of FreeBSD.</p>
+
+<p>This distribution of FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE is a release distribution. It can be found at
+<a href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/"
+target="_top">http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/</a> or any of its mirrors. More
+information on obtaining this (or other) release distributions of FreeBSD can be found in
+the <a href="../../../../doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors.html"
+target="_top">“Obtaining FreeBSD” appendix</a> to the <a
+href="../../../../doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/" target="_top">FreeBSD
+Handbook</a>.</p>
+
+<p>All users are encouraged to consult the release errata before installing FreeBSD. The
+errata document is updated with “late-breaking” 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 FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE can be found on the FreeBSD Web site.</p>

+<h2 class="sect1"><a id="new" name="new">2 What's New</a></h2>
+
+<p>This section describes the most user-visible new or changed features in FreeBSD since
+9.0-RELEASE.</p>
+
+<p>Typical release note items document recent security advisories issued after
+9.0-RELEASE, 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 FreeBSD between releases; this document focuses primarily on security advisories,
+user-visible changes, and major architectural improvements.</p>
