Actually, the changes from ALPHA->RELEASE were very small, most of our work going into improving the installation utilities (how good a job we did of that I'll let you folks decide). We fixed some bugs in the de0 driver, and a couple of miscellaneous fixes when into curses and syscons, but not enough to get really worried about. If you're happily running ALPHA, continue to be happy! :-) >I also didn't see a diff file for ALPHA-RELEASE. Is there any >particular reason for this? It'd sure be nice to grab just the diffs >rather than a complete source tree. This will be forthcoming. They're just delayed for a short time while everyone involved catches up on a few days of much needed sleep! :-) Jordan
