* sendmail 更新至 8.14.2
* 从 OpenBSD/NetBSD 移植了 [lagg(4)](https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=lagg\&sektion=4\&manpath=FreeBSD+6.3-RELEASE) 驱动
* 重新实现了 unionfs 文件系统
* [freebsd-update(8)](https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=freebsd-update\&sektion=8\&manpath=FreeBSD+6.3-RELEASE) 现支持 upgrade 命令

有关新功能和已知问题的完整列表，请参见在线发行说明和勘误列表，地址如下：

FreeBSD 安全团队计划对 6.3-RELEASE 提供支持至 2010 年 1 月 31 日。

## 献辞

FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE 谨献给 Dr. Jun-ichiro Hagino，他在互联网社区中以 itojun 之名广为人知，以纪念其在 IPv6 协议上富有远见的工作以及对互联网和 BSD 社区的众多其他贡献。

## 可用性

FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE 现已为 alpha、amd64、i386、pc98 和 sparc64 架构提供。它可以从可引导 ISO 镜像安装或通过网络安装；所需文件可通过 FTP 或 BitTorrent 下载，具体见下文所述。虽然某些较小的 FTP 镜像可能不包含所有架构，但通常都会包含较常见的架构，如 i386 和 amd64。

发行版 ISO 镜像的 MD5 和 SHA256 哈希值附在本消息末尾。

大多数架构的发行版 ISO 镜像内容发生了变化。以 i386 架构为例，存在名为“bootonly”、“disc1”、“disc2”、“disc3”和“docs”的 ISO 镜像。“bootonly”镜像适用于引导机器进行基于 FTP 或 NFS 的网络安装。“disc1”、“disc2”和“disc3”镜像用于进行包含基本软件包集合的完整安装，安装过程中无需访问 FTP 或 NFS 服务器。此外，“disc1”支持引导进入基于 live CD 的文件系统和系统救援模式。“docs”镜像包含所有支持语言的所有文档。大多数用户会发现“disc1”、“disc2”和“disc3”即可满足需求。如果你打算从源码安装 Ports 而非使用发行版附带的预编译软件包，则仅需“disc1”。

也可从多家供应商处购买 CD-ROM 形式的 FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE。将提供基于 FreeBSD 6.3 的产品的供应商之一是：

* FreeBSD Mall, Inc. <http://www.freebsdmall.com/>

## BitTorrent

6.3-RELEASE 的 ISO 可通过 BitTorrent 下载。下载这些镜像的 torrent 文件集合位于：

<http://torrents.freebsd.org:8080/>

## FTP

主镜像站点是：

<ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/>

但在尝试中央 FTP 站点之前，请先访问以下地址查看区域镜像：

**ftp\://ftp.<你的域>.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD**

任何额外的镜像站点将标记为 `ftp2`、`ftp3` 等。

有关 FreeBSD 镜像站点的更多信息，请参见：

[http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en\_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors-ftp.html](http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors-ftp.html)

有关安装 FreeBSD 的说明，请参见 FreeBSD 手册第 2 章。它为 FreeBSD 新用户提供了完整的安装指南，可在以下网址在线获取：

[http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en\_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install.html](http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install.html)

## FreeBSD Update

从 FreeBSD 6.3 开始，[freebsd-update(8)](https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=freebsd-update\&sektion=8\&manpath=FreeBSD+6.3-RELEASE) 工具支持对运行早期 FreeBSD 发行版、发行候选和测试版的 i386 和 amd64 系统进行二进制升级。从较旧发行版（特别是早于 6.3-RC1 的版本）升级到 FreeBSD 6.3 的用户需要下载更新版本的 freebsd-update(8) 以支持升级到新发行版。

```sh
# fetch http://people.freebsd.org/~cperciva/freebsd-update-upgrade.tgz
```

强烈建议下载并验证 tarball 的数字签名（由 FreeBSD 安全官的 PGP 密钥签名）。

```sh
# fetch http://people.freebsd.org/~cperciva/freebsd-update-upgrade.tgz.asc
# gpg --verify freebsd-update-upgrade.tgz.asc freebsd-update-upgrade.tgz
```

新的 freebsd-update(8) 可按以下方式解压并运行：

```sh
# tar -xf freebsd-update-upgrade.tgz
# sh freebsd-update.sh -f freebsd-update.conf -r 6.3-RELEASE upgrade
# sh freebsd-update.sh -f freebsd-update.conf install
```

在继续之前，必须使用新安装的内核重启系统。

```sh
# shutdown -r now
```

最后，需要再次运行 freebsd-update.sh 以安装新的用户空间组件，并需要再次重启系统：

```sh
# sh freebsd-update.sh -f freebsd-update.conf install
# shutdown -r now
```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://book.bsdcn.org/release/freebsd-6.3-release/6.3-announce.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
