FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE Announcement

The FreeBSD Release Engineering Team is pleased to announce the availability of FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE. This is the second release from the 7-STABLE branch which improves on the functionality of FreeBSD 7.0 and introduces some new features. Some of the highlights: The ULE scheduler is now the default in GENERIC kernels for amd64 and i386 architectures; support for using DTrace inside the kernel has been imported from OpenSolaris; a new and much-improved NFS Lock Manager (NLM) client; boot loader changes allow, among other things, booting from USB devices and booting from GPT-labeled devices; the cpuset(2) system call and cpuset(1) command have been added, providing an API for thread to CPU binding and CPU resource grouping and assignment; KDE updated to 3.5.10, GNOME updated to 2.22.3; DVD-sized media for the amd64 and i386 architectures.

This sounds like a great release!

I'm already there! :D Thank you cvsup! I'm a happy camper!

I'm there too. Seems the binary update servers are severely raped right now, so I did a source upgrade too.

Damn, after 5 hours of trying to update (with the freebsd-update tool) it won't work yet. Im gonna try updating again in a week or so.

As I said, do a source upgrade, it will still be faster. :p
