The third RC build of the 8.4-RELEASE release cycle is now available
on the FTP servers for the amd64, i386, and pc98 architectures.  The
SHA256/MD5 sums are tacked on to the bottom of this message.  The ISO
images and, for architectures that support it, the memory stick images
are available here:

  ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/ISO-IMAGES/8.4/

(or any of the FreeBSD mirror sites).

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

If you would like to use SVN to do a source based update of an existing
system use "releng/8.4".

Changes between -RC2 and -RC3 include:

 - Fix a bug that allows NFS clients to issue READDIR on files
 - Update sendmail to 8.14.7
 - Fix rtld(1) $ORIGIN length
 - Fix randomly-changing default routes

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

# freebsd-update upgrade -r 8.4-RC3

During this process, FreeBSD Update 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 7.x.  Alternatively, the user can install misc/compat7x 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
