FreeBSD 8.1 arrives

FreeBSD Logo Originally scheduled for the 9th of July, the FreeBSD Release
Engineering Team has now issued version 8.1 of its popular free Unix
derivative, the first stable major point update to version 8.0 of FreeBSD
from November of last year. According to the developers, FreeBSD 8.1 has
improved functionality and introduces some new features.

FreeBSD 8.1 features version 14 of the ZFS subsystem, the addition of the ZFS
Loader (zfsloader), allowing users to boot from ZFS, and NFSv4 ACL support
for the UFS and ZFS file systems. Desktop updates include version 2.30.1 of
GNOME and the latest 4.4.5 release of KDE SC. Other changes include SMP
support in PowerPC G5, the integration of BIND 9.6.2-P2 and various package
updates, including version 8.14.4 of sendmail and OpenSSH 5.4p1. Support for
UltraSPARC IV/IV+ and SPAR64 V have also been added.

More details about the release can be found in the official release
announcement, release notes and on the Errata page. FreeBSD 8.1 is available
to download as an ISO image for AMD64, i386, ia64, PC98, PowerPC and SPARC64
systems from one of the project''s FTP sites. An installation gude is
provided. Users currently running FreeBSD 7.0 or later can upgrade via the
freebsd-update utility.

Only on i386 or amd64 systems at present, but you can boot RAIDZ1 and
RAIDZ2 as well as mirrored roots.

Note that ZFS v15 has been integrated into the development branches
(-current and 8-stable) and will be in FreeBSD 8.2 (or you can run it
now by compiling FreeBSD yourself - unlike OpenSolaris, the full build
process is documented and everything necessary is on the release DVDs
or can be downloaded).

ZFS v15 is not yet in 8-stable. Only in HEAD. Perhaps it will be merged
into stable after 2 months.

Oops, sorry.  There are patches available for 8-stable (which I''m
running).
I misremembered the commit message.
