Hallo,

gerade hat Ken Smith in der Stable-Mailinglist gepostet das der release cycle für FreeBSD 4.11 in Kürze beginnen wird.

Es wird das letzte Release der 4er Reihe sein und soll User von FreeBSD 4.x noch ein wenig Zeit geben auf 5.x umzusteigen.

Voraussichtlicher Release Termin ist der 24.01.2005.

Hier noch die Original Mail:

The release cycle for FreeBSD-4.11 will be starting shortly, with a
target release date of January 24th, 2005. A tentative schedule is
available, though not all of the dates for the various steps have been
set. Throughout the release cycle the schedule will be updated and
available here:

http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.11R/schedule.html

This is expected to be the last of the FreeBSD-4.X releases, and is
meant to provide current 4.X users with a little more time to migrate
to FreeBSD-5.X. It is mostly an accumulation of security and other
misc. bugfixes though a few new features have been added since 4.10
was released.

For those of you who track the RELENG_4 development branch (which is
not recommended for systems that require high reliability - we
recommend such systems track the release branch, currently RELENG_4_10
for 4.X) note that branch will shift to being called 4.11-PRERELEASE
on December 6th, 2004. Typically the developers get more active the
week before a code freeze so this will be your hint to be a bit more
cautious during that time. Problems like catching a snapshot of the
source tree "between commits" and that sort of thing become more
likely during that week.
