The NetBSD project is pleased to announce the sixth release
candidate[1] of the upcoming 10.0 release, please help testing!
See the release anouncement[2] for details.

The netbsd-10 release branch is more than a year old now, so
it is high time the 10.0 release makes it to the front stage.
This matches the long time it took for the developement branch
to get ready for branching, a lot of developement went into
this new release.

This also caused the release anouncement to be one of the
longest we ever did.

Since RC1 there have been numerous changes, including major
updates to external software included in the release: Postfix,
OpenSSH, and the firmware used for Raspberry PI devices.
Various issues with RC1 have been fixed, including installer
(sysinst) crashes. Lots of architecture specific fixes happend,
e.g. various toolchain changes for VAX (so it is now finaly
self-hosting again), and kernel changes for macppc, netwinder,
and alpha.

For RC3 only few (relatively) minor changes were made, including
https certificate verification in libfetch (which is used by
pkg_ad(1)), and also improvements to the EFI bootloader to
better deal with booting from CD (or in virtual machines ISO
images), plus lots of various bug fixes.

RC4 became necessary as a few very important DRM/KMS issues
especially for Intel GPUs have been resolved. And as an
(unexpected) bonus support for the Nintendo Wii has been added
to the evbppc port.

RC5 has a few important security related updates of third
party components (named, nsd, unbound, wpa_supplicant).

RC6 fixes a few issues with the new named/bind imported for
RC5 plus several minor issues.

If you want to test 10.0 RC6 please check the installation
notes[4] for your architecture and download the prefered
install image[5] from the CDN or if you are using an ARM based
device from the netbsd-10 builds from the bootable ARM images[6]
page.

If you have any issues with installation or run into issues
with the system during use, please contact us on one of the
mailing lists[7] or file a problem report[8].
