Dear FreeBSD community,

Yesterday, Karl Berry announced the release of TeX Live 2011:

  http://tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2011-July/029711.html

For those of you who use the official distribution, we arranged
everything so that TeX Live 2011 should work on FreeBSD 7, 8 and 9
(i386 and amd64) out of the box.

However, there are some special cases; like the previous year I
prepared the "Extended FreeBSD support" page:

  http://anthesphoria.net/FreeBSD/TeXLive-2011/bin/

These special cases include FreeBSD 8 and 9 users who need applications
such as asy and xindy, and users of older FreeBSD releases (5 and 6).
Please refer to README.txt for the detailed info.

A special note for users of biblatex: FreeBSD binaries of the
next-generation biblatex backend, biber, are included in TeX Live 2011.
An additional support for biblatex-biber users on older FreeBSD releases
is available as well:

  http://anthesphoria.net/FreeBSD/Biber/

Since biber is a Perl script that relies on many newer-than-ported and
not-yet-ported Perl modules, this is currently the only easy way to run
biber on FreeBSD.
