Testers & Dev,<br>
<br>
As a few of you have already noticed, we have some new ISOs now up
on the mirrors:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://mirrors.isc.org/pub/pcbsd/9.1-RELEASE/" target="_blank">http://mirrors.isc.org/pub/pcbsd/9.1-RELEASE/</a><br>
<br>
These are the first images built of PC-BSD Rolling Release, based
upon FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE, which use PKGNG as the backend for keeping
your desktop and base-system packages up to date. You are welcome to
download and give them a spin if you want to help us beta-test them.
<br>
<br>
They include updated packages from about 2 weeks ago, which includes
KDE 4.9.5 among others. Our build server is still finishing up
building the entire package repository and I hope to have all ~20k
pkgng packages online in another week or so, with weekly updates
after that. The weekly updates will include all the latest PC-BSD /
TrueOS utilities, so you can expect to see much more frequent bug
fixes & enhancements.<br>
<br>
For users running on the original PC-BSD / TrueOS 9.1 release, I
also have an online system update in the works. This update will
convert your existing install to PKGNG and allow you to start
tracking the rolling release, the same as if you installed a fresh
copy from our new ISOs. Once I've finished a bit more testing &
bugfixing with it, I will post back with details on how to try it
out. I'm hopeful it will be sometime next week. <br>
<br>
Lastly, I also wanted to let you know that with this change, it will
be possible convert an existing "FreeBSD" 9.1-Release into a PC-BSD
or TrueOS system. I've started writing instructions on the PC-BSD
wiki page with details:<br>
<br>

<br>
Last but not least, we have some new hardware coming in soon which I
will quickly get working on building a PC-BSD -STABLE release, and
then -CURRENT. More details as they arrive :)<br>
<br>
Happy testing, and please post your feedback to the list so we can
get to work quashing bugs. <br><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888">
