 				Some drivers were imported from FreeBSD 6.1 beta, 6.1 Release and 6.2.  0.3-CURRENT
 				includes drivers from FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE. We've also added support for several other systems such as network cards found in Intel based iMacs, newer AMD, Intel and NVIDIA SATA chipsets, and fixes for Apple mice.</p>

+				the svnlite command as part of the base system. You may checkout the updated source code from the stable branch of the release and build it.
+				Detailed instructions are available in the <a href="../developer/">developer section</a> of the website.</p>

+				<p>Packages may be updated with the mport update or mport upgrade commands. The latter will update all installed packages whereas the former can be
+				used to update individual packages.</p>
