amd64 support is now offered (including SMP support), but it is still pretty young.
There are lots of changes in this release. Here are a couple of highlights (copy & pasted from the link aove):
* devfs(5): Replaced the static /dev directory with a dynamic device file system written by Alex Hornung during the Google Summer of Code 2009.
* disklabel64(5): Add UFS + HAMMER boot support (was previously just HAMMER boot support).
[NFS]
* Use TCP mounts by default as the new RPC architecture can now trivally blow out UDP sockbufs.
* Hugely improved client-side performance.
[HAMMER]
* Improve performance for large write loads.
[DISK]
* ahci(4): Implement a native AHCI driver with full hot-plug and port multiplier support. Also implement ATA pass-through. Uses CAM.
* sili(4): Implement a native Silicon Image 3132 driver with full hot-plug and port multiplier support. Also implement ATA pass-through. Uses CAM.
[Contributed Software]
* Update file to version 5.03.
* GCC 4.4.1 was added to base, but is not enabled by default.
* Update less to version 429.
* Update OpenSSH to version 5.2p1.
* Update OpenSSL to version 0.9.8k.
* Sync zoneinfo database with tzdata2009l.
