The proposed schedule for the "major events" of the cycle is: Freeze August 29=20 BETA September 1=20 Branch September 6=20 6.4-RC1 September 8 7.1-RC1 September 15 6.4-RC2 September 22=20 7.1-RC2 September 29=20 6.4-REL October 6 7.1-REL October 13 I haven't posted the schedule on the Web site yet, I'll try to get that done over the weekend. On Monday I'll switch RELENG_7 and RELENG_6 over to say they are 7.1-PRERELEASE and 6.4-PRERELEASE respectively as a heads-up that there will likely be higher-than-normal developer activity MFC-ing stuff before code freeze starts. Odds get higher that if you do updates using RELENG_7/RELENG_6 branches during this period you *might* wind up with a tree that isn't quite right because you happened to catch it part way through a developer doing a multi-step commit. We had been procrastinating on saying definitively whether we thought 6.4-REL would be the last of the RELENG_6 releases to see how well things went with 7.X (if 7.0-REL was a total disaster we'd have considered doing a 6.5-REL). It seems that 7.0-REL went well and RELENG_7 in general seems to be in good shape so we now expect 6.4-REL to be the last of the RELENG_6 releases.
