(Gmail added some undesirable extra characters that didn't get stripped in
the original announcement, so I'm reposting this cleaned up for clarity)

DragonFly 5.8.1 is released - here's the release page:

The normal ISO and IMG files are available for download and install,
plus an uncompressed ISO image for those installing remotely.

If updating from 5.8.0:

> cd /usr/src
> git pull
> make build-all
> make install-all
> make upgrade


If upgrading from a version older than 5.8.0, see the 5.8.0
announcement and follow those instructions.

After your next reboot, you can optionally update your rescue system:

(reboot)
> cd /usr/src
> make initrd

Don't forget to upgrade your existing packages if you haven't recently:

> pkg update
> pkg upgrade
