- Add ARM as a platform under development.
- Bump copyright year.

Remove references to the now-deleted installation notes and add a
pointer to the installation chapter of the Handbook (it might be a
good idea to sprinkle a few more through this article).

De-emphasize the floppy disk part of installation media; it's
generally believed that most users install from CDROM or DVD
nowadays.

Use &arch.* entities where appropriate.

Bump copyright date while here.

Down to one MD document in the release documentation set now,
reword a note to reflect this fact.

On HEAD, the release notes are no longer MD documents, so update text

Bump copyright year and use &os;.

Don't refer to the (now disconnected) early adopter's guide anymore.

Update the supported platforms.

Use &url.articles.problem-reports; for link to problem-reports article

readme/article.sgml.

Add &release.type.current; to unbreak the build.

Simplify parameter entities in doctype declaration.

Update copyright years.

Update supported architectures, use &unix; where appropriate, more
majordomo->mailman fixes, other misc. updates.

Add a new entity for the previous stable release. For the most part,
the release notes compare 5.0-CURRENT to 4.0-RELEASE, but in at least
one place it is beneficial to mention the last stable release of
FreeBSD (4.5-RELEASE).

If NO_LANGCODE_IN_DESTDIR is defined, don't put the language code in
DESTDIR. This avoids redundant information in the path when DOCDIR
points to some directory that already implies (or specifies) a certain
language. This is the case with the web site, where the release notes
are already installed under a language-specific directory. This
behavior is not being made mandatory because it might still be useful
to install all the translations in one directory, such as during
testing, or in a hypothetical release notes archive. Furthermore, it
is not being made the default because that breaks consistency with
stuff under doc/.

Whitespace-only commit that can be ignored by translators.

The 1.2->1.4 deltas caused the indentation of this document to become
massively...well...confused. Try to fix this.

Use &os.numports; to track how many ports we have. Don't need to give
an example of a specific release in CDROM/DVD ordering.

Close a </sect1> and add a line of whitespace, discovered during
MFC of 1.3->1.4 delta.

Reorganization of FreeBSD README document. This change adds no new
content or whitespace changes; it just moves sections around for
better organization; the content of this file used to be fairly
fragmented because it originally was derived from parts of several other
documents.

The first half of "About FreeBSD" has been pulled into the Introduction
section. The remainder of "About FreeBSD" plus the "Release Documentation"
section now make up a new <sect1></sect1> level section entitled
"Further Reading".

Collapse the seven *.sgml files containing the content of the README
document into article.sgml. Move the $FreeBSD$ tag from a
comment to a <pubdate></pubdate> entry, but no other content
or whitespace changes.

The two reasons for doing this are to: 1) Get rid of a bunch of
itty-bitty files and 2) help with a reorganization of the README that
will be much simpler if all the content is in a single file.

Fix up links from the FreeBSD README to portions of the Handbook.

While I'm here, delete a <warning></warning> paragraph that seems out of
place.

Reflect the new location of the list of contributors and coalesce
two paragraphs.

Split "Contacting the FreeBSD Project" into two sub-sections ("Email
and Mailing Lists" and "Submitting Problem Reports"). No content
changes.

Cleanup of "Reporting Problems" section, which has been renamed
"Contacting the FreeBSD Project": Mostly fixed style nits, and
performed some overlooked s/FreeBSD/&os;/ substitutions.

freebsd.org -> FreeBSD.org

More README file cleanup, mostly for style. Also punt the readers
to the Handbook for more documentation sources. Mention INSTALL.TXT
as one of the other release documentation files.

Punt users to the Handbook for a list of CDROM/DVD publishers, rather
than try to keep two copies of this information synchronized.

obtaining.sgml: 1.1.2.1->1.1.2.2

Discussed with: Paul A Vixie <vixie@vix.com>

MFS: Minor style and markup tweaks.

Add an abstract for the README.

Change the way the value of DESTDIR is determined for the release
notes build. Instead of having doc.relnotes.mk make a guess, hardcode
quite a bit (but as little as possible) in Makefile.inc's sprinkled
strategicly throughout the tree. This has the advantage of actually
working properly (which is a Good Thing(tm)), and the disadvantages of
more files in the repository and more hardcoded paths (which are both
Bad Things(tm)).

RELNOTESng infrastructure fixes:

1. There is now only one RELNOTESng stylesheet; the architecture-specific
stylesheets (to handle different values of the arch= attribute) are gone.

2. Several Makefile variable definitions were factored into
doc.relnotes.mk.

Submitted by: dd

Build system:
o Define a RELN_ROOT variable which points to the root of the relnotes
tree (i.e., src/release/doc).
o By default, define DOC_PREFIX in terms of RELN_ROOT; this gives a
bigger chance of finding the doc/ tree without help in the form of
setting DOC_PREFIX on the command line.
o Respect DOCDIR; `make install` works now.
