It is once again my great privilege and pleasure to announce the
availability of FreeBSD 5.2-RELEASE.  Building upon the success of
FreeBSD 5.1, this release includes:

 - Full Tier-1 support for single and multiprocessor AMD Athlon64 and
   Opteron systems.
 - Dynamically linked root partition for a smaller installation footprint
   and better integration with the Name Service Switch subsystem.
 - New and improved driver support for IDE, SATA, and 802.11a/b/g devices,
   and significantly better integration with the ACPI power management
   subsystem.
 - Client support for the Network File System version 4 protocol.
 - Experimental first-stage support for multithreaded filtering and
   forwarding of IP traffic.  This also provides the foundation for a
   fully multi-threaded network stack in the next release of FreeBSD.
 - In-box support for the latest Gnome 2.4 and KDE 3.1 desktops.

FreeBSD 5.2 also contains a number of significant stability and performance
improvements over FreeBSD 5.1.  However, it is still considered a 'New
Technology' release and might not be suitable for all users.  Those with
more conservative needs may prefer to continue using FreeBSD 4.X.
Information on the various trade-offs involved, as well as some notes on
future plans for both FreeBSD 4.X and 5.X, can be found in the Early
Adopter's Guide, available here:

	http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/5.2R/early-adopter.html

release notes and errata list, available here:
