Just a quick note in case there are people here who aren't subscribed to
the freebsd-announce@ mailing list.
We have completed the 8.0-RELEASE cycle. Details about the release are
available from the main web site, in particular the announcement itself
is available here:
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/8.0R/announce.html
Thanks for all the help with testing during the release process, as well
as your continued support of FreeBSD.

It's a .0 release, but my experience with it through the release cycle has been excellent. I especially appreciate the new USB stack which has fixed all sorts of annoying issues (and a couple that were a lot more than annoying) in the old stack. Great job! -- R.

There is no problem. So now i'm upgrading my main desktop. 7.2-RELEASE -> 8.0-RELEASE. Thanks! -- "I understood perfectly. That's the Mafia style, isn't is?" -- Jack Woltz, "Chapter 1", page 61

Note that the current implementation allows the superuser inside of the jail to change the CPU bindings specified." ----------- Is it true? I don't have 8.0-RELEASE installed, but I think it was fixed in 7-STABLE right after the 7.2-RELEASE PR kern/134050 was reported by me Miroslav Lachman
