(24 May 2006) The NFSv4 client in 5.5-RELEASE is an unfinished prototype, and there are a number of issues with it (many documented in the FreeBSD GNATS database) that make it unusable in many situations. Given the state of 5-STABLE development, it is unlikely that these will be resolved on this development branch.
(31 May 2006) Thanks to the efforts of Paul Saab, torrents for the various FreeBSD 5.5-RELEASE ISO images are now available at http://torrents.freebsd.org:8080/.
This file, and other release-related documents, can be downloaded from http://www.FreeBSD.org/snapshots/.

[20080204] The ISO images of FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE are sized for 700MB CD-ROM media (ISO images of all prior versions assumed 650MB media). This fact should have been mentioned in the release notes.
[20080204] Contrary to the release notes, ipfwpcap(8) is not a feature included in FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE. It was merged to the 6-STABLE codeline after the release branch was created. This utility will be included in subsequent snapshots of 6-STABLE and in 6.4-RELEASE.
[20080229] The release notes gave an incorrect version number for KDE. The correct version number is 3.5.8.

[20080229] A bug in Linux emulation may cause segmentation faults for some Linux programs using mmap(2). This issue has been fixed on the HEAD and RELENG_6 branches.
[20080229] Multithreaded programs that perform a fork(2) operation may crash due to a race condition in the threading library. This problem has been fixed on the HEAD and RELENG_6 branches, and is a candidate for an errata notice.
[20080307] When using sysinstall(8) to install the X.org packages, selecting only specific components to be installed may result in the x11/xorg-drivers package not being installed, and a corresponding failure of X.org server to configure itself correctly. The recommended way to a functioning X.org installation is simply to select All from the Distributions menu.

[20080229] tcpdump(1) does not correctly print the TX/RX rates for 802.11 frames. This issue has been fixed on the HEAD and RELENG_7 branches.
[20080229] A bug in Linux emulation may cause segmentation faults for some Linux programs using mmap(2). This issue has been fixed on the HEAD and RELENG_7 branches.
[20080229] Instances of packet corruption and instability have been observed with the re(4) network driver. Some users have reported that using a newer version of this driver (on HEAD) has solved their problems, or at least mitigated them.
[20080229] A change in the way that FreeBSD sends TCP options has been reported to cause odd interactions with some cable modem routers. While this issue is still under investigation, a change has been committed to HEAD that returns the option processing to that of FreeBSD 6. So far, this change has shown some promising results.
[20080307] The FreeBSD implementation of SCTP currently depends on having INET6 support compiled into the kernel. This requirement is planned to be removed in future releases.
[20080307] Source upgrades from FreeBSD 6.X to FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE will generate warnings from kldxref(8) during the installkernel step. These warnings are harmless and can be ignored.
[20080307] The crypto(4) driver, which is required for IPsec functionality, has severe problems on FreeBSD/powerpc (a kernel with device crypto included in its configuration will be non-functional).
[20080229] The FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE release documentation (release notes, hardware notes, and so forth) all contained a note that users of FreeBSD 7-STABLE should be subscribed to the freebsd-current mailing list. This note should not have appeared.
[20080229] The release notes gave an incorrect version number for KDE. The correct version number is 3.5.8.
