FreeBSD You guessed it from the headline (bravo!): FreeBSD 6.3 has been released to the public (that's us). From the release notes: "Typical release note items document recent security advisories issued after 6.2-RELEASE, new drivers or hardware support, new commands or options, major bug fixes, or contributed software upgrades. They may also list changes to major ports/packages or release engineering practices. Clearly the release notes cannot list every single change made to FreeBSD between releases; this document focuses primarily on security advisories, user-visible changes, and major architectural improvements."

If you are running 6.2-RELEASE or one of the RCs, you may use these instructions:

for a painless binary upgrade.

(Note: if you are running 6.3-RC you already have the latest freebsd-update utility)
