Announcing Release Candidate 2 for NetBSD 6.0
=============================================

On behalf of NetBSD's developers, I'm happy to announce the availability
of the second release candidate of NetBSD 6.0.

Binaries of NetBSD 6.0_RC2 are available for download at:

ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-6.0_RC2/

ISO images and (for amd64 and i386) images suitable for installing
from USB sticks or other hard drives, and torrent files for
downloading via BitTorrent are also available, as well as Amazon EC2
machine images and .xva files for use with Citrix XenServer and Xen
Cloud Platform.

Fixes since NetBSD 6.0_RC1
==========================

Adding a little more polish before the 6.0 release, RC2 fixes these
additional issues:

    * The vax port shared library issue is resolved, and vax is once again 
      bootable
    * ntpd(8) broadcast transmission is fixed
    * i486 support is fixed in the i386 port.
    * Interrupt issues on some PowerPC machines are fixed
    * X.org display on a Xen amd64 DOM0 is now working again
    * a pmap_growkernel() issue which causes some systems to reset very
      early in the boot process is fixed.
    * CVE-2012-4244 was addressed by updating bind to 9.9.1-P3
    * A few issues with FFS extended attributes were fixed
    * a bug in NPF's icmp handling was fixed.
    * A panic which could happen when an NFS rename failed has been fixed.
