Those tracking the 2.1-stable branch via CTM or CVSup can probably
ignore this message since you're already up-to-date with our
post-2.1.7 fixes.

There was essentially a bug found in the AHC 2940 driver which caused
certain heavily loaded machines (like news servers) to fail
intermittantly. Since both we and our customers prefer 2.1.7 machines
to stay up 24/7, it was felt that a point release for new 2.1.7
installations and upgrades was in order. Sure, it's easy enough to
load 2.1.7, CVSup it up to 2.1-stable and then make world & kernel on
it, but that still takes time. If you're going to be installing or
updating any new 2.1.7 machines, I therefore recommend using this more
recent release.

I've also included the changes between 2.1.7 and 2.1.7.1 sources as
gzip'd unidiffs for patch(1) in the src distribution this time, for
the convenience of those who already have 2.1.7 on CD and merely want
to get up to 2.1.7.1 (the patch file is small enough to fit on a 1.2MB
floppy). Those who curious to know exactly what changed in-between
2.1.7 and 2.1.7.1 may also find the diffs to be interesting reading.
See: 2.1.7.1-RELEASE/src/2.1.7-2.1.7.1.diffs.gz

The release notes for 2.1.7.1 basically say the rest, so without
further ado:

RELEASE NOTES
FreeBSD 2.1.7.1 RELEASE

0. What is this release?
------------------------
FreeBSD 2.1.7[.1]R is the follow-on release to 2.1.6R and focuses primarily
on fixing bugs and closing security holes, the most notable being the
setlocale() bug (see ftp://freefall.freebsd.org/pub/CERT) in 2.1.6R.

2.1.7.1 is an even smaller incremental fix release to 2.1.7, primarily
aimed at fixing some problems with the Adaptec 2940 driver which could
cause instability in very heavily loaded systems (like news servers).
We essentially brought in all changes from the RELENG_2_1_0 branch
between the release date of 2.1.7 and March 18th, 1997. Those
fixes include:

o 2940 driver bugs fixed.
o Various buffer overflows in: date, ps, libc, route, ...
o Various games fixed up.
o System installation tool updated.
o Intel Etherexpress Pro/100B now works in full-duplex mode.
o Bug fixed in pkg_add which caused packages like xemacs to fail.
